Connecting Data Cables
Do not connect or disconnect data cables during a thunderstorm, as doing so presents a risk in
the event of a lightning strike.
The device cables must be connected or disconnected in the order specified in the user
documentation for the device. Cables should always be held by the connector body when
connecting or disconnecting them. Never pull a connector out by pulling on the cable. Doing so
may cause the plug to be detached from the cable or cause damage to the plug itself.
Cables must be installed so that they do not represent a health & safety hazard (e.g., tripping)
and are not at risk of damage (e.g., kinks).
Connecting the Power Supply
This equipment is operated at a hazardous voltage. Failure to observe the safety instructions in
this manual may result in serious injury, death or property damage.
Before the device is connected to the power supply, a grounding conductor must be connected to
the earth terminal of the device.
The power supply should be connected with a short, low-inductance cable.
Before operation, check that all cables and lines work properly and are undamaged. Ensure in
particular that the cables do not have kinks, that they are not wound too tightly around
corners, and that no objects are placed on the cables.
Ensure that all connections are secure—make sure that the lock screws of the power
supply plug are tightened when using a 3-pin MSTB or 5-pin MSTB connector (see diagram,
LANTIME M300 power supply).

Faulty shielding or cabling and improperly connected plugs are a health & safety risk (risk of
injury or death due to electrical shock) and may damage or even destroy your Meinberg device or
other equipment.
Ensure that all necessary safety precautions have been taken. Connect all cables to the device
only while the device is de-energized before turning on the power. Observe the safety instructions
on the device itself (see safety symbols).
The metal chassis of the device is grounded. When installing the device in an electrical enclosure,
it must be ensured that adequate clearance is provided, creepage distances to adjacent conductors
are maintained, and that there is no risk of short circuits.
In the event of a malfunction or if servicing is required (e.g., damage to the chassis or power cable,
ingress of fluids or foreign objects), the power supply may be cut off.
Please address any questions regarding your building’s electrical, cable or antenna installations
to the person or department responsible for that installation within your building.
