Appendix B: Safety and regulatory compliance information
Option
Description
◦ It is recommended to install the encoder within 1.5m (approximately 5
feet) from an easily accessible grounded AC outlet.
◦ When the encoder is rack-mounted, ensure that the rack is correctly
grounded.
DC power
◦ Ensure a suitable over-current device is in-line between the equipment
and the power source.
◦ Connect DC-input power supplies only to a DC power source that
complies with the safety extra-low voltage (SELV) requirements in the
UL60950-1, CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60950-1-03, AS/NZS 60950-1, EN/IEC
60825-1, 21 CFR 1040, EN 60950-1, and IEC 60950-1 standards.
◦ Ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit before installing or
removing power supplies.
5. Handling Fiber Channel cables
◦ Always read and comply with the handling instructions on the shipping container.
◦ Follow all ESD precautions and approved fiber cleaning procedures.
◦ The fiber is made of a very pure, expensive glass and should be treated with great care. Handle
fibers only in areas that are very clean and do not contain sharp objects.
◦ Wear finger cots or gloves as dirt and oils can damage the fiber and contaminate connectors.
◦ Do not allow kinks or knots to develop in the fiber. If tangles occur, carefully work out the tangles
avoiding pulling or bending the fibre beyond its bend radius.
◦ Always use the correct tools for stripping and cleaving the fiber. It will save time and reduce
breakage caused by scratches.
◦ If you must secure a bundle of fiber cables together, avoid plastic and metal tie wraps; secure with
Velcro instead.
6. Disposing of the unit
◦ Dispose of the unit and its components (including batteries) as specified by all national laws and
regulations.
