Termination
Unused coaxial connections should be terminated with 75 Ohm
terminating resistors. For DC-supplied connections, DC voltage
decoupling must be used or use 75 Ohm terminating resistors with
integrated DC decoupling.
Attention
This module contains ESD components!
(ESD = Electrostatic Sensitive Device).
An electrostatic discharge is an electrical current pulse, which can
flow through an electrically insulated material, when triggered by a large voltage
difference. To ensure the reliability of ESD components, it is necessary to
consider their most important handling rules:
» Pay attention permanently to potential equalisation (equipotential bonding)!
» Use wrist straps and approved footwear for personnel grounding!
» Avoid electrostatically chargeable materials such as normal PE, PVC,
polystyrene!
» Avoid electrostatic fields >100 V/cm!
» Use only labeled and defined packing and transportation materials!
Damage caused by faulty connections and/or improper handling are
excluded from any liability.
Recycling
All of our packaging materials (packaging, identification sheets, plastic
foil and bags) are fully recyclable. The devices are to be disposed of
properly according to the current disposal regulations of your
district/country/state as electronic scrap.

Select installation site
Plan the installation location so that children cannot play with the device
and its connections. The device should only be installed on a solid, flat
and most of all fire-resistant surface. Observe the operation position of
the devices specified in the operating instructions. Avoid strong magnetic fields in
the surroundings. Too strong a heat effect or accumulation of heat will have an
adverse effect on the durability. Don't mount directly over or near heating
systems, open fire sources or the like, where the device is exposed to heat
radiation or oil vapours. Mount fan-cooled and passively cooled devices so that
the air can be sucked in unhindered through the lower ventilation slots and heat
can escape through the upper ventilations slots. Ensure free air circulation,
ventilation slots must not be covered. Do not place any objects on the devices.
Installation in recesses, alcoves etc and covering the installation site, e.g. through
curtains is not allowed. To avoid heat build-up, the correct installation position
must be observed and all-round, free ventilation must be ensured in accordance
with the information in the operating instructions! When installing the cabinet,
sufficient air convection must be possible to ensure that the maximum permissible
ambient temperature of the device is maintained.
Moisture
The devices have no protection against water and may therefore only
be operated and connected in dry rooms. Dripping/splashing water and
high humidity damage the device. If there is condensation, wait until the
device is completely dry. Select the operating environment according to the
specified IP protection class.
Heat
Housing parts near cooling fins and cooling fins themselves can get
very hot. Therefore, you should not touch these parts.
Mounting and service works
The device may only be installed and operated by qualified persons (in
accordance with EN 62368-1) or by persons who have been instructed
by experts in accordance with the rules of technology. Maintenance
work may only be carried out by qualified service personnel. Before starting the
service work, switch off the operating voltage and secure it against being switched
on again. In the event of service or danger, the mains plug serves as a disconnect
device from the mains voltage and must therefore be accessible and usable at all
times. In order to guarantee interference immunity, all device covers must be
screwed tight again after opening.
Fuses are only to be changed by authorised specialists. Only fuses of the same
type may be used.
Repairs
Repairs may only be carried out by the manufacturer. Improper repairs
can pose significant risks to the user. In the event of malfunctions, the
device must be disconnected from the mains and authorised specialist
personnel must be consulted. If necessary, the device must be sent to the
manufacturer.
Thunderstorm
According to EN 60728 part 1 safety requirements, due to increased
risk of lightning, maintenance and / or installation work should not be
carried out during thunderstorms on the device or the system.
High overvoltages (lightning strikes, overvoltages in the power grid) can damage
insulation that serves to protect against mains voltage.
Ambient temperature
The permissible ambient temperatures specified in the technical data
must be observed for operation and storage, even if the climatic
conditions change due to external influences (solar radiation etc.).
Overheating the device can damage the insulation that serves to isolate the
mains voltage.
Mounting and safety instructions
Please observe the following safety instructions in order to
prevent any risks for persons and/or damage to the device,
as well as to contribute to environmental protection.
Important instructions
Please read the operating instructions for the device(s) carefully
before putting into operation! The instructions contain important
information on installation, environmental conditions, service and
maintenance. Save the operating instructions for later use. All
operating instructions can be found on our website at:
https://polytron.de/index.php/en/services/operating-manuals
Approved use
Use the device only at the permissible operating locations, under
the permissible environmental conditions and for the purpose
described in the operating instructions.
If there is no information about the intended use (e.g. operating location,
environmental conditions) or if the operating instructions do not contain
any relevant information, you must contact the manufacturer of this device
to ensure that the device can be installed. If you do not receive any
information from the manufacturer, the device must not be put into
operation.
Transport
Please check the packaging and the device for damages in
shipment immediately upon receipt. Do not put a damaged
device into operation.
Transporting the device by the power cord is not permitted as this can
damage the power cord or the strain relief. Insulation that serves to
protect against mains voltages can be damaged by excessive loads (e.g.
fall, shock, vibration).
Attention
The rated voltage on the device must correspond with the mains
voltage to be used. When operating devices with protection
class I, connection to power sockets with a protective conductor
connection is mandatory. The instructions for operating the device must be
observed.
Grounding and potential equalisation
Please establish grounding and perform potential equalisation
before initial startup.
According to the currently valid version of EN 60728-11, coaxial
receiving and distribution systems must meet the safety requirements with
regard to earthing, equipotential bonding etc, even if the device is
removed. Otherwise, damage to the product, fire, or other dangers can
occur. In addition, the earth connection on the device can be used. Other
devices within touching distance are to be integrated in the equipotential
bonding. Operation without a protective conductor connection, device
grounding or equipotential bonding is not permitted. If damaged, the
device must be taken out of operation.
The electrical system for powering the device, e.g. house installations
must contain protective devices against excessive currents, earth faults
and short circuits.
Follow all applicable national safety regulations and standards.
Connection cables
Always install the connection cables with a loop so that
condensed and/or splashing water cannot run into the device.
