2.5.1 Wiring Requirements
The following common safety precautions should be observed before installing any
electronic device:
•
Strive to use separate, non-intersecting paths to route power and networking
wires. If power wiring and device wiring paths must cross make sure the wires
are perpendicular at the intersection point.
•
Keep the wires separated according to interface. The rule of thumb is that
wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics may be bundled together.
•
Do not bundle input wiring with output wiring. Keep them separate.
•
When necessary, it is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the
system.
Safety Precautions:
•
Do not run signal or communication wiring and power
wiring in the same conduit. To avoid interference, wires
with different signal characteristics (i.e., different
interfaces) should be routed separately.
•
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing
and/or wiring your device.
•
Verify the maximum possible current for each wire
gauge, especially for the power cords. Observe all
electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable
for each wire gauge.
•
If the current goes above the maximum ratings (80
W), the wiring could overheat, causing serious
damage to your equipment.
•
Be careful when handling the unit. When the unit is plugged
in, the internal components generate a lot of heat which
may lead the outer casing too hot to touch.
