Cautions and Warnings

Environmental specifications

• Ambient operating temperature: 0°C to 45°C
• Rack Mount Instructions – The following or similar rack-mount instructions are included with the installation instructions:
• Elevated Operating Ambient – If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient.
• Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
• Reduced Air Flow – Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
• Mechanical Loading – Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
• Circuit Overloading – Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
• Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
• Reliable Earthing – Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
• Refer to the specific Product Model Data Sheet for Environmental Specifications (Operating Temperature, Storage Temperature, Humidity, and Altitude)

Safety

• Battery – Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
• They may explode. Dispose of used batteries according to your local regulations.
• IMPORTANT: Switzerland: Annexe 4.10 of SR814.013 applies to batteries.
• CAUTION: There is a danger of explosion if a battery is incorrect replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
• Dispose of batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Disposing of a battery into fire, a hot oven, mechanically crushing, or cutting it can result in an explosion.
• Leaving a battery in an extremely hot environment can result in leakage of flammable liquid, gas, or an explosion.
• If a battery is subjected to extremely low air pressure, it may result in leakage of flammable liquid, gas, or an explosion.
• Caution: This equipment is to be used in a Network Environment 0 per IECTR 62101. This product is connected only to PoE networks without routing to the outside plant.
• Grounding — To prevent damage to your equipment, connections that enter from outside the building should pass through a lightning/surge protector and be properly grounded.
• Use an electrostatic discharge workstation (ESD) and/or wear an anti-static wrist strap while you work. In addition to the grounding terminal of the plug, on the back panel, there is another, separate terminal for earthing.
• This product has a separate protective earthing terminal provided on the back of the product in addition to the grounding terminal of the attachment plug.
• This separate protective earthing terminal must be permanently connected to earth with a green with yellow stripe conductor minimum size # 14AWG, and the connection is to be installed by a qualified service personnel.
