Laser Safety

Warning: Fiber Optic Port Safety:

When using a fiber optic port, never look at the transmit laser while it is powered on. Also, never look directly at the fiber TX port and fiber cable ends when they are powered on.

Power and Battery Safety

Warning: If your switch uses a lithium battery, do not attempt to replace the battery yourself. Return the switch to the manufacturer for battery replacement.

If the switch contains lithium batteries that are encased in a sealed chassis, do not attempt to open the sealed chassis under any circumstances.

Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

Caution - Risk of Electrical Shock: To disconnect power, remove all power cords from the unit.

PSE Alarm (Japan)

The power cord set included with this product is for this product only. Do not use this power cord set for other products or other purposes. Use the power cord set supplied with the product body and do not use power cord sets from other products.

Power Cord Safety

Please read the following safety information carefully before installing the switch:

• Warning: Installation and removal of the unit must be carried out by qualified personnel only.
• The unit must be connected to an earthed (grounded) outlet to comply with international safety standards.
• Do not connect the unit to an A.C. outlet (power supply) without an earth (ground) connection.

The appliance coupler (the connector to the unit and not the wall plug) must have a configuration for mating with an EN 60320/IEC 320 appliance inlet.

The socket outlet must be near to the unit and easily accessible. You can only remove power from the unit by disconnecting the power cord from the outlet.

This unit operates under SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) conditions according to IEC 62368-1. The conditions are only maintained if the equipment to which it is connected also operates under SELV conditions.

France and Peru only:

This unit cannot be powered from IT supplies. If your supplies are of IT type, this unit must be powered by 230 V (2P+T) via an isolation transformer ratio 1:1, with the secondary connection point labelled Neutral, connected directly to earth (ground).

Important!

Before making connections, make sure you have the correct cord set. Check it (read the label on the cable) against the following:
