Safety Precautions

4Emerge EMS Installer/User Guide

•For use in dry, oil-free indoor environments only.

•Do not use to link between buildings.

•Not suitable for use in hazardous or explosive environments or next to highly flammable materials.

•Ensure that all twisted pair interconnect cables are installed in compliance with all applicable wiring regulations.

•Do not connect UTP link interfaces (RJ45 style connectors) to any other equipment, particularly network or telecommunications equipment.

•Warning – the power adaptor contains live parts. No user serviceable parts are contained within the power adaptor - do not dismantle.

•Do not use the power adaptor if the power adaptor case becomes damaged, cracked or broken or if you suspect that it is not operating properly. Replace the power adaptor with a manufacturer approved type only.

•The Emerge units do not provide ground isolation and should not be used for any applications that require ground isolation or galvanic isolation.

•Use only with grounded outlets at both the computer and monitor. When using a backup power supply (UPS), power the computer, the monitor and the Emerge unit off the supply.

•If the building has 3-phase AC power, ensure that the computer and monitor are on the same phase. For best results, they should be on the same circuit.

•The primary means to cease operation of the units is to remove the power adaptor lead. Ensure that the power adaptor is positioned near to the equipment and is easily accessible.

•Test AC outlets at the computer and monitor for proper polarity and grounding.

•Do not use a 2-wire extension cord in any Avocent product configuration.

•If you use a power extension cord with the Emerge units, make sure the total ampere rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord do not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure that the total ampere rating of all the devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating.

•Do not attempt to service the Emerge units yourself.

•The Emerge units and power adaptors can get warm in operation – do not situate them in an enclosed space without any ventilation.

•For correct operation, the local and remote units must have ground connections. At the computer end, this is achieved by ensuring that the computer that the Emerge unit is connected to has a ground connection. At the audio/visual device end, this can be achieved by ensuring that the power supply is connected to a grounded power outlet. Alternatively, a ground connection will be made via the monitor, if the monitor is itself grounded.

•Where possible, try to avoid laying the interconnect cable(s) alongside power cables.
