1  GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION 

  

The information that follows, together with local site regulations, must be studied by personnel 
concerned with the operation or maintenance of the equipment, to ensure awareness of 
potential hazards.

 

 

WARNING- GaAs / BeO Hazard :

 Certain components inside the equipment contain Gallium 

Arsenide and Beryllium Oxide which are 

toxic substances.

 While safe to handle under normal 

circumstances, individual components 

must not

 be cut, broken apart, incinerated or chemically 

processed. In the case of Beryllium Oxide, a white ceramic material, the principal hazard is from the 
dust or fumes which are carcinogenic if ingested, inhaled or entering damaged skin.  
  
Please consult your local solid waste authority before disposing of these components. 
  

CAUTION- Tantalum Capacitors :

 When subjected to reverse or excess forward voltage, ripple 

current or temperature these components may rupture and could potentially cause personal injury.  
  

CAUTION : 

This system contains MOS devices. Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) precautions should 

be employed to prevent accidental damage. 

 
CAUTION - AC supply connection and protective earth.

 The RFX-HD-D is a Class 1 device and 

when used with an AC supply must be connected to a ground.  Installation should always follow local 
wiring regulations. Failure to provide adequate grounding may result in high voltages on the unit 
chassis. 
 
The equipment is supplied with an AC power supply connector and cord assembly.  The wires in the 
cord are colored in accordance with the following convention:- 

Green and yellow 

Ground 

Blue 

  - Neutral 

Brown 

  - Live 

Always ensure that the equipment is correctly connected. Failure to connect the equipment correctly 
may render protective devices inoperative; if in doubt consult a qualified electrician. 
 
On some types of equipment the Power on/off switch is functional on only one line of the AC supply. 
To be certain that the equipment is isolated the AC the supply should always be unplugged from the 
AC outlet.
