FIRST INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS ENG

9.3FUSE REPLACEMENT

The power supply socket has an integral fuse drawer containing the AC power fuse and a spare, both of the same value.

BEFORE REPLACING THE POWER FUSE, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TYPE OF FUSE FOR THE VOLTAGE TO BE PROTECTED.

USING WRONG FUSE TYPE WILL RESULT IN INSUFFICIENT PROTECTION.

Make sure that the power is switched off and the power cable is disconnected from the equipment. Open the fuse drawer using a small blade screwdriver.

Replace the fuse located at the inner position

Push the fuse socket back into the original position

Perform the set-up under static control conditions. Static charges are likely to completely destroy one or more of the CMOS semiconductors employed in the unit. Static damage will not be covered under warranty.

Basic damage prevention consists of minimizing generation, discharging any accumulated static charge on your body and preventing that discharge from being sent to or through any electronic component.

Uninsulated dangerous voltage are inside the enclosure, voltage that may be sufficient to constitute a risk of shock.

Always disconnect to AC Mains before removing the top cover

9.4PROTECTION AGAINST LIGHTNING

Should the device be put out of action due to being struck by lightning or excess voltage, disconnect it from the power supply without delay. Do not reconnect until the device has been checked. If in doubt contact the technical support service.

Make sure there is suitable lightning protection to protect the device.

Alternatively you should disconnect all connectors from the device during a storm or when the device is going to be unsupervised or not used for a longer period of time.

These measures will protect against damage by lightning or excess voltage.

9.5VENTILATION

The equipment will operate as a free-standing unit without requiring any special cooling arrangement. However, slots and openings in the product are provided for ventilation. They ensure reliable operation of the product, keeping it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked nor covered during operation.

YOU MUST LEAVE AT A MINIMUM ONE RACK UNIT OF EMPTY SPACE ABOVE THE EQUIPMENT TO ENHANCE VENTILATION AND TO GET A LONGER EQUIPMENT LIFE.
