as a Class 1 instrument.
Safety Instructions
Electrical Shock Hazards:
Warning
•
Use only the type of power cord supplied
with the unit.
•
Connect the power cord only to a power
outlet equipped with a protective earth
contact. Never connect to an extension cord
or any receptacle that is not equipped with
this feature.
•
If using a voltage-‐reducing autotransformer
to power the unit, ensure that the common
terminal connects to the earthed pole of the
power source.
•
Do not interrupt the protective earth
grounding. Any such action can lead to a
potential shock hazard that can result in
serious personal injury. Do not operate the
unit if an interruption to the protective
grounding is suspected.
•
Use only the type of fuse specified by JGR
Optics as appropriate for this unit. Do not
use “repaired” fuses, and avoid any
situations that can short-‐circuit the fuse.
•
Do not operate the unit when its covers or
panels have been removed.
Fuse Replacement
The SX8 Series Optical Switch is protected with a fuse which is located at
the back of the unit near the power inlet. The fuse type used by the
unit is (5 x 20) mm, 1 A/250 V (slow). To avoid electrical fire or
damaging the unit, only replace the fuse with a fuse of the same size
and rating.
There are no user-‐serviceable parts inside. Opening the unit by
personnel other than a qualified technician may damage the switch, and
will void the warranty.
