AC Power
The following applies to the host device that the 6416Y2 A‑Net Interface Card
is installed in.
Always plug the unit into a properly grounded (earthed) outlet. Always use
the AC line cord that was shipped with the unit. Grasp the power cable by the
connector and never by the cord itself when connecting and disconnecting
it from the power source.
Do not expose the Pro64 device to moisture, rain, or excessively damp
environments.
AC Line Conditioning
Aviom products are digital devices and as such are sensitive to sudden spikes
and drops in the AC line voltage. Changes in the line voltage from lightning,
power outages, etc. can sometimes damage electronic equipment.
To minimize the chance of damage to your equipment from sudden changes
in the AC line voltage, you may want to plug your equipment into a power
source that has surge and spike protection. Power outlet strips are available
with built‑in surge protection circuits that may help protect your equipment.
Other options for protection of your equipment include the use of an AC
line conditioner or a battery backup system (sometimes referred to as an
uninterruptible power supply
, or UPS).
Ventilation
Always allow adequate ventilation for devices mounted in equipment
racks. Avoid placing your Pro64 product directly above or below other rack‑
mounted devices that produce high levels of heat, such as power amplifiers.
Cleaning
Before cleaning a Pro64 product, turn off the power switch and unplug the
unit from the AC power source.
To clean the surface of the Pro64 product use a clean, soft lint‑free cloth that
has been slightly moistened with water only. For tougher dirt, use a cloth
slightly dampened with water or with a mild detergent. Always be sure to dry
