Electrical hazards (DC supply voltage)
This equipment conforms with IEC safety Class III, meaning that for continued safety it must only
be connected to supplies and signal sources which conform to 'Separated Extra-Low Voltage' (SELV
and SELV-E) voltage and insulation requirements. No hazardous voltages are generated internally.
See the data sheet for the maximum permitted voltage levels that can be applied.
Do not remove equipment covers as this may result in personal injury. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside.
Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
Heavy equipment
The weight of this equipment exceeds the 18 kg (40 lb) guideline for manual handling by a single
person. To avoid the risk of injury, an assessment should be carried out prior to handling which takes
account of the load, workplace environment and individual capability, in accordance with European
Directive 90/269/EEC and associated National Regulations.
Toxic hazards
Some of the components used in this equipment may include resins and other materials which give
off toxic fumes if incinerated. Take appropriate precautions, therefore, in the disposal of these items.
Beryllium copper
It is possible that some mechanical components within this equipment may be manufactured from
beryllium copper. This is an alloy with a beryllium content of approximately 5 %. It represents no risk
in normal use.
The material should not be machined, welded or subjected to any process where heat is involved.
It must be disposed of as "special waste".
It must NOT be disposed of by incineration.
Short circuited/bent pins
Before replacing a module into the chassis, check inside the chassis that no debris is present between
pins on the backplane connectors, and that no pins on the backplane connectors are bent or
damaged. Check the module's connectors in the same way. Short-circuits can damage the module
and chassis, and may cause fire.
If debris is present, ensure that no power is applied to the chassis, and carefully remove the debris
with an antistatic brush.
The module should slide smoothly and easily into the slot. If you feel resistance, remove the module
and check for obstructions or damage, and that the module is compatible with the chosen slot.
