Thrulink Operations Manual
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION
For your protection, please read and observe all safety instructions before operating
this system and keep this sheet and any additional instructions for future reference.
INSTALLATION & USE
OBSERVE WARNINGS: All warnings in the operating instructions should be carefully
followed. Do not make any modifications to the ThruLink unit, or any other KBC
electronic device, as the device(s) will no longer comply with FCC/IC (or applicable)
regulations and therefore cancel its warranty.
WATER AND MOISTURE: The ThruLink devices are not weatherproof and are
designed to be located indoors or in a suitable weatherproof enclosure. Exposure to
moisture can result in severe electrical shock, personal injury or damage to the
equipment.
POWER SOURCE: Connect the equipment to a power source only of the type
described on the operating instructions or as marked on the equipment. Excessive
or insufficient amperage or voltage can cause extended trouble-shooting or even
damage that could negate its warranty.
ATTACHMENTS: Use only KBC supplied or recommended Power Supplies or cords,
Cat5/6 Cables, etc.
WHEN NOT IN USE: Unplug the power if the equipment is left unattended or unused
for long periods of time or during lightning storms.
REPLACEMENT PARTS: When replacement parts are required, use only replacement
parts specified by KBC. Unauthorized substitutions may result in damage to the
system and could void the warranty. Replacement ThruLink units are available.
Check the part number configuration key on page “i”.
HIGH CAPACITY ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONING
The High Capacity ThruLink is an industrial server and must be stored in a
conditioned environment. Maintain temperature ratings in the server room within
the temperature threshold as stated on the device specifications and ratings.
Rack Mount Instructions - The following or similar rack-mount instructions are
included with the installation instructions:
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be
greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing
the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient
temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.

B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
C) Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that
a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
D) Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might
have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
E) Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be
maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than
direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips)."
CAUTION: Risk of Explosion if Battery is replaced by an Incorrect Type. Dispose of
Used Batteries According to the Instructions.
