Cautions and Warnings

Environmental specifications

Ambient operating temperature: 0°C to 45°C

Rack Mount 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 room ambient. Consider 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 not compromise the amount of air flow required for safe operation.
• Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should not create a hazardous condition due to uneven mechanical loading.
• Circuit Overloading: Consider the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect of overloading on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Use equipment nameplate ratings.
• Reliable Earthing: Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Pay attention 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. Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations. (Switzerland: Annex 4.10 of SR814.013 applies to batteries.)

CAUTION: There is a danger of explosion if a battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type. Dispose batteries according to manufacturer's instructions. Disposing a battery into fire, a hot oven, or 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. A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure may result in leakage of flammable liquid, gas, or an explosion.

WARNUNG: Lithium-Batterie Achtung: Explosionsgefahr bei fehlerhafter Batteriewechsel. Ersetzen Sie nur den gleichen oder gleichwertigen Typ. Batterien gemäß den Anweisungen des Herstellers entsorgen. Beseitigung einer BATTERIE in Feuer oder einen heißen Ofen oder mechanisches Zerkleinern oder Schneiden einer BATTERIE, die zu einer EXPLOSION führen kann. Verlassen einer BATTERIE in einer extrem hohen Umgebungstemperatur, die zu einer EXPLOSION oder zum Austreten von brennbarer Flüssigkeit oder Gas führen kann. Eine BATTERIE, die einem extrem niedrigen Luftdruck ausgesetzt ist, der zu einer EXPLOSION oder zum Austreten von brennbarer Flüssigkeit oder Gas führen kann.

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. In addition to the grounding terminal of the plug, on the back panel, there is another, separate terminal for earthing. 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 qualified service personnel.
