IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS & EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to 
the presence of uninsulated “dangerous” voltage within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient 
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to humans.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of 
important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in this manual.

SAFEGAURDS
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This unit has been engineered and manufactured to 
assure your personal safety. Improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. In order 
not to defeat the safeguards, observe the following instructions for its installation, use and servicing.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover. No user-serviceable parts inside. 
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

WARNING: To prevent fire or electric shock, do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture.

1- Maximum operating ambient temperature is 50°C (122°F).
2- Never restrict airflow through the device fan or vents. Please insure that the air intake and exhaust 
vents are unobstructed.
3- When installing equipment into rack, distribute the units evenly. Otherwise, hazardous conditions 
could be created by an uneven weight distribution.
4- Connect the unit only to a properly rated supply circuit. The RAVE 520uz is suitable for connection to 
100 - 240 VAC, 47 - 440 hertz, with no special considerations other than the appropriate IEC power cord.
5- Reliable Earthing (Grounding) of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
