Safety information
• For use in dry, oil free indoor environments only.
• Do not use to link between buildings.
• Not suitable for use in hazardous or explosive environments or next to highly
flammable materials.
• Ensure that all twisted pair interconnect cables are installed in compliance
with all applicable wiring regulations.
• Do not connect the CATx link interface (RJ45 style connector) to any other
equipment, particularly network or telecommunications equipment.
• Where possible, avoid laying the twisted pair link cable(s) alongside power
cables.
• Warning – the power adapter contains live parts.
• No user serviceable parts are contained within the power adapter - do not
dismantle.
• The primary means to cease operation of the modules is to remove the
power adapter lead. Ensure that the power adapter is positioned near to the
equipment and is easily accessible.
• Do not use the power adapter if the power adapter case becomes damaged,
cracked or broken or if you suspect that it is not operating properly.
• Replace the power adapter with a manufacturer approved type only.
• If you use a power extension cable with the modules, make sure the total
ampere rating of the devices plugged into the extension cable do not exceed
the cable’s ampere rating. Also, make sure that the total ampere rating of
all the devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s
ampere rating.
• Do not attempt to service the modules yourself.
• The modules and power supplies can get warm in operation – do not situate
them in an enclosed space without any ventilation.
• The modules do not provide ground isolation and should not be used for
any applications that require ground isolation or galvanic isolation.
• Use only with grounded outlets at both the computer and monitor. When
using a backup power supply (UPS), power the computer, the monitor and
the module from the same supply.
• For correct operation, the transmitter and receiver modules must have
ground connections. At the computer end, this is achieved by ensuring that
the computer that the module is connected to has a ground connection. At
the audio/visual device end, this can be achieved by ensuring that the power
supply is connected to a grounded power outlet. Alternatively, a ground
connection will be made via the monitor, if the monitor is itself grounded.
Certification notice for equipment used in
Canada
The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified
equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain
telecommunications-network protective, operation, and safety requirements.
The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s
satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be
connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company.
The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of
connection. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a
single-line individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector
assembly (extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with
the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian
maintenance facility—in this case, your supplier. Any repairs or alterations
made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give
the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the
equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground
connections of the power utility, telephone lines, and internal metallic water
pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be
particularly important in rural areas.
CAUTION:
Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should
contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as
appropriate.
The LOAD NUMBER (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the
percentage of the total load to be connected to a telephone loop which is used
by the device, to prevent overloading. The termination on a loop may consist of
any combination of devices, subject only to the requirement that the total of the
load numbers of all the devices does not exceed 100.
