Safety Precautions and Installation Guidelines

To ensure reliable and safe long-term operation please note the following installation guidelines:

•Do not use to link between buildings.

•Only use in dry, indoor environments.

•If the building has 3-phase AC power, try to ensure that equipment connected to the Local and Remote Units is on the same phase.

•Try not to route the CATx link cable alongside power cables.

•The use of shielded CATx cable is recommended to maintain compliance.

•Ensure that the system connected to the Local Unit is connected to power ground.

•Ensure that the monitor connected to the Remote Unit is connected to power ground and does not use an isolated power supply.

•The Remote Unit and any power supplies can get warm. Do not situate them in an enclosed space without any airflow.

•Do not place the power supply directly on top of the Remote Unit.

•This product is not suitable for use in isolated medical environments.

To safeguard against personal injury and avoid possible damage to equipment or property, please observe the following:

•Only use power supplies originally supplied with the product or manufacturer-approved replacements. Do not attempt to dismantle or repair any power supply. Do not use a power supply if it appears to be defective or has a damaged case.

•Connect all power supplies to grounded outlets. In each case, ensure that the ground connection is maintained from the outlet socket through to the power supply’s AC power input.

•Do not attempt to modify or repair this product, or make a connection from the CATx link interface (RJ45) to any other products, especially telecommunications or network equipment.
