ZEPHYR XPORT USER’S GUIDE

6 Technical & Installation Information

6.1 Environmental Considerations

Ventilation and ambient temperature

The Xport should not be placed on bedding, carpet or other materials where the rear- panel ventilation openings could be blocked. Do not block the ventilation openings on the top of the unit. You may stack Xstreams as long as the ventilation openings are not blocked. We do not recommend stacking more than three Xstreams.

The Xport is designed to be used at ambient air temperatures between 0 to 40 degrees Celsius (32 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit) and a relative humidity of 0 to 98% non- condensing.

AC (mains) requirements

The Xport will work with AC power sources providing between 100 to 240 volts at between 50 to 60 Hz. The power supply is self- configuring so adjustment is not required.

AC surge protection is desirable. See www.telos- systems.com for additional information on AC protection.

It is essential that the third “grounding” pin not be defeated on the power cord and that the power cord be connected to a properly grounded receptacle. If a grounded receptacle is not available, a qualified electrical contractor familiar with the regulations in you’re area should be contracted to provide one.

IMPORTANT!

As with any piece of modern electronic gear, it is advisable that precautions be taken to prevent damage caused by power surges. Standard line surge protectors can be used to offer some degree of protection. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure protection adequate for their conditions is provided (see above).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION!

If fuse replacement is required, please note: For continued protection against fire, replace fuse only with same type and value.

e

Telephone Lightning Protection

The single biggest source of failures of Telecom equipment is due to damage related to lightning.
