Use the following safety guidelines to help ensure your own personal safety
and to help protect your equipment and working environment from potential damage
General Power Safety for the 4411 Interface unit and Computer
Observe the following guidelines when connecting your equipment to a power source:
•
Check the voltage rating before you connect the equipment to an electrical
outlet to ensure that the required voltage and frequency match the available
power source.
•
Do not plug the equipment power cables into an electrical outlet if the power
cable is damaged.
•
To prevent electric shock, plug the equipment power cables into properly
grounded electrical outlets. Do not use adapter plugs that bypass the grounding
feature or remove the grounding feature from the plug or adapter.
•
Do not operate your equipment with any cover(s) removed.
•
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods
of time.
•
Do not expose the unit to rain or an environment where it may be splashed by
water or other liquids, as doing so may result in fire or electric shock.
System Safety
•
The system is designed to be used on a moving vessel. Make sure that all parts
are well secured, and nothing can come loose when exposed to heavy
vibrations or sudden movements which may occur aboard a vessel.
Safety when installing and operating the Signature VM Sensor
•
When mounting the Signature sensor on any vessel or other platform, be careful
to follow proper precautions and safe-work procedures as applicable to working
with medium-weight, long, unwieldy material (work-gloves, helmet, and if on-
board, possibly life-jacket).
•
Ensure that nothing rests on your equipment's cables and that the cables are
not located where they can be stepped on or tripped over.
