EMI
All electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources, from outside or inside of the switch and application
system, adversely affect the switch in the following ways:
•
A conduction pattern of capacitance coupling.
•
Inductance coupling.
•
Electromagnetic wave radiation.
•
Common impedance (including the grounding system) coupling.
To prevent EMI, use the following guidelines:
•
If AC power is used, use a single-phase three-wire power receptacle with protection earth (PE) to
filter interference from the power grid.
•
Keep the switch far away from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency
devices.
•
Use electromagnetic shielding, for example, shielded interface cables, when necessary.
•
To prevent signal ports from getting damaged by overvoltage or overcurrent caused by lightning
strikes, route interface cables only indoors.
Laser safety
WARNING!
The switch is Class 1 laser device. Do not stare into any fiber port when the switch has power. The laser
light emitted from the optical fiber might hurt your eyes.
