Safety Precautions

Precautions and Instructions

•Prior to powering on the controller, ensure that the correct power range is being used.

•Ensure there is a sufficient cooling airflow to maintain the temperature of the controller board. If the controller board overheats it may be permanently damaged.

•Be sure that the rack cabinet into which the controller will be installed provides sufficient ventilation channels and airflow circulation around the controller.

•Handle controller carefully and gently. Avoid touching PCB boards and connector pins.

•To comply with safety, emission, or thermal requirements, none of the covers or replaceable modules should be removed. Make sure that during operation, all covers are securely in place.

•Provide a soft, clean surface to place your controller on before working on it. Servicing on a rough surface may damage the exterior of the chassis.

ESD Precautions

Observe all conventional anti-ESD methods while handling system modules. The use of a grounded wrist strap and an anti-static work pad are recommended. Avoid dust or debris in your work area.
