• Where appropriate, ensure that this product has an adequate level of lightning protec-
tion. Alternatively, during a lightning storm or if it is left unused and unattended for
long periods of time, unplug it from the power supply and disconnect signal cables.
This prevents damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
Warning: If the CP560 has been subject to a lightning strike or a power
surge which has stopped it working, disconnect the power immediately.
Do not re-apply power until it has been checked for safety. If in doubt
contact T-VIPS.
4.3 Equipment installation
The CP560 is designed for stationary use in a standard 19" rack. When installing please observe
the following points:
• Route cables safely to avoid them being pinched, crushed or otherwise interfered with.
Do not run AC power cables and signal cables in the same duct or conduit.
• The CP560 has all connectors at the rear. When mounting the unit, ensure that the
installation allows easy access to the rear of the unit.
• The fans contained in this unit are not fitted with dust/insect filters. Pay particular
attention to this when considering the environment in which it shall be used.
• Make sure that the equipment is adequately ventilated. Do not block the ventilation
holes on each side of the CP560.
4.4 Ventilation
Openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to protect it from overheating and ensure
reliable operation. The openings must not be blocked or covered. Allow at least 50 mm free
air-space each side of the unit.
Warning: Never insert objects of any kind into this equipment through
openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or create shorts that
could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on or
into the product.
• This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not
place in a built-in installation (e.g. a rack) unless proper ventilation is provided in
accordance with the device airflow design as depicted in
Figure 4.1 .
• The CP560 may be vertically stacked in 19" racks without intermediate ventilation pan-
els. In systems with stacked units forced-air cooling may be required to reduce the
operating ambient temperature.
Figure 4.1 shows the air path through the unit, where cool air is taken from the left
hand side, seen from the front.
