Important
BEFORE CONNECTING THE ROUTER, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CARE-
FULLY.
2.1 General Installation
Workplace Conditions
The following recommendations should be noted:
(1)
Do not expose the device to direct sunlight, extreme heat, dampness or dusty conditions. Do not place the
device among books, papers or other elements that could hinder natural air circulation.
(2)
Do not place the device near strong electromagnetic fields, such as those produced by speakers, motors, etc.
(3)
Avoid knocks and/or strong vibrations during transport, operation and storage.
Power supply
The ATLAS 300 does not require any special conditions in terms of voltage stability or protection against power mal-
functions, as it is already protected.
To avoid electric shocks, residual current circulation and other unwanted effects that may disrupt communication, the
following is recommended:
Warning
All interconnected communication devices should be plugged to THE SAME GROUNDED
POWER OUTLET, which should, at the same time, be of good quality (lower than 10 ohms).
Whether the workplace is provided with an uninterrupted power supply system (UPS), regulated
supply, or it is independent from the rest (such as lighting, etc.), it is highly recommended that
all data devices should be connected to the same power source. This will avoid operating and
premature aging problems of drivers and other components.
Warning
The electric current in power cables, telephone lines and communication cables is dangerous.
To prevent electric shocks, before installing, handling or opening the equipment covers, con-
nect and disconnect the cables following the steps set forth in the following section.
