2.2. Safety Information
Before installation: Read this manual completely and gather all information available on the product. Make sure it is fully understood. Check that your application does not exceed the safe operating specifications for the product.
⚠️ SAFETY DURING INSTALLATION
The product must be installed and operated by qualified service personnel and installed into an apparatus cabinet or similar, where access is restricted to service personnel only. Refer to chapter Compliance Information to see the required level of qualified service personnel according to safety standards.
Before energising and connecting communication cables to the product, ensure a protective earthing conductor is first connected to the protective earthing terminal (only valid for metallic housings). Westermo recommends a cross-sectional area of at least 4 mm².
Upon removal of the product, disconnect the product from the power supply and all other communication ports before disconnecting the protective earthing conductor.
⚡️ HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE
Do not open an energised product. Hazardous voltage may occur when connected to a power supply.
⚠️ PROTECTIVE FUSE
It must be possible to disconnect manually from the power supply. Ensure compliance to national installation regulations. Replacing the internal fuse must only be performed by Westermo qualified personnel.
⚠️ POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION
There are safety regulations governing the power source that can be used in conjunction with the product. Refer to chapter Interface Specifications.
? REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE
To reduce the risk of fire, use only telecommunication line cords with a cable diameter of AWG 26 or larger. Regarding power cable dimensions, see chapter Interface Specifications.
?️ HOT SURFACE
Be aware that the surface of this product may become hot. When it is operated at high temperatures, the external surface may exceed Touch Temperature Limit according to the product's relevant electrical safety standard.
⚠️ CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT
Do not look directly into a fibre optical port or any connected fibre, although the product is designed to meet the Class 1 Laser regulations and complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11.
⚠️ HANDLING OF SFP TRANSCEIVERS
SFP transceivers are supplied with plugs to avoid contamination inside the optical port. They are very sensitive to dust and dirt. If the fibre optic cable is disconnected from the product, a protective plug must be used on the transmitter/receiver. The protective plug must be kept on during transportation. The fibre optic cable must be handled the same way.
⚠️ CORROSIVE GASES
If the product is placed in a corrosive environment, it is important that all unused connector sockets are protected with a suitable plug, in order to avoid corrosion attacks on the gold plated connector pins.
⚠️ ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
Prevent electrostatic discharge damage to internal electronic parts by discharging your body to a grounding point (e.g. use a wrist strap).
