WARNING!
If the equipment is damaged, the protective grounding could be
disconnected. Do
not
use damaged equipment until its safety has been
verified by authorized personnel. Disconnecting the protective earth
terminal, inside or outside the apparatus, or any tampering with its
operation is also prohibited.
Inspect the supplied power cord. If it is not compatible with the power socket, replace the
cord with one that has suitable connectors on both ends.
WARNING!
Replacement power cords or power plugs must have the same polarity
as that of the original ones to avoid hazard due to electrical shock.
1.6 Precautions
To prevent permanently damaging the system, please observe the following precautions:
• The array is very sensitive to static electricity. Touching the array can destroy it.
Operations requiring contact with the device can only be performed at the factory.
• When using high-voltage equipment (e.g., an arc lamp,) with the detector system,
be sure to turn the detector power ON LAST, and turn the detector power OFF
FIRST.
•
When turning off and on the power supply, wait at least 10 seconds before
switching it on. The
SHUTTER FAULT
LED will be lit until the application
software initializes the detector. Ignore the LED status if there is no shutter.
NOTE:
The SHUTTER FAULT LED also lights when an external
shutter is disabled closed.
•
Use caution when triggering high-current switching devices (such as an arc lamp)
near your system. The array can be permanently damaged by transient voltage
spikes. If electrically noisy devices are present, an isolated, conditioned power line
or dedicated isolation transformer is highly recommended.
•
Do not block air vents on the detector. Preventing the free flow of air overheats the
detector and may damage it.
