Operating Environment Precautions 4
4 Operating Environment Precautions
Do not operate the control system in the following places.
• Where the Fiber Amplifier Sensor Communication Unit is exposed to
direct sunlight.
• Where the ambient temperature or humidity exceed the specified ranges.
• Where condensation may occur due to radical temperature changes.
• Where there is any corrosive or inflammable gas.
• Where there is excessive dust, saline air, or metal powder.
• Where any water, oil, or chemical may splash on the Fiber Amplifier Sen-
sor Communication Unit.
• Where the Fiber Amplifier Sensor Communication Unit is subject to direct
vibration or shock.
!Caution The operating environment of the Fiber Amplifier Sensor Communication Unit
can have a large effect on the longevity and reliability of the system. Improper
operating environments can lead to malfunction, failure, and other unforesee-
able problems with the Fiber Amplifier Sensor Communication Unit. Be sure
that the operating environment is within the specified conditions at installation
and remains within the specified conditions during the life of the system.
5 Application Precautions
Observe the following precautions when using the Fiber Amplifier Sensor
Communication Unit.
!Caution
Failure to abide by the following precautions could lead to faulty operation of
the Fiber Amplifier Sensor Communication Unit or the system or could dam-
age the Fiber Amplifier Sensor Communication Unit. Always heed these pre-
cautions.
• Provide proper shielding when installing in the following locations:
• Locations subject to static electricity or other sources of noise.
• Locations subject to strong electromagnetic fields.
• Locations subject to possible exposure to radiation.
• Locations near power supply lines.
• Do not clean the Fiber Amplifier Sensor Communication Unit with organic
solvents, such as paint thinner. Organic solvents will dissolve and discolor
the surface of the Unit.
• Take measures to stabilize the power supply to conform to the rated sup-
ply (the voltage, frequency, etc.) if it is not stable.
• Do not attempt to take a Fiber Amplifier Sensor Communication Unit
apart, to repair a Fiber Amplifier Sensor Communication Unit, or to modify
a Fiber Amplifier Sensor Communication Unit in any way.
• Never attempt to wire a Fiber Amplifier Sensor Communication Unit while
power is being supplied. Doing so may result in serious electrical shock or
electrocution.
• Do not drop a Fiber Amplifier Sensor Communication Unit or subject it to
excessive shock or vibration. Unit failure or malfunction may result.
• Use the specified communications cables.
