2 INSTALLATION
2.1 WARNINGS, ALERTS AND CAUTIONS
Safety to personnel
Before installing, modifying, or replacing any of the equipment, the user manual should
be read and understood in its entirety. The user needs to supply the appropriate AC or
DC power to the equipment. Incorrect power connections can damage the equipment
and may cause injury to the user.
Be aware that in certain conditions the devices can become very warm and can cause
minor injuries if handled without the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
such as gloves.
Radio Frequency Energies
There may be situations, particularly for workplace environments near high-powered
RF sources, where recommended limits for safe exposure of human beings to RF
energy could be exceeded. In such cases, restrictive measures or actions may be
necessary to ensure the safe use of RF energy.
High Voltage
The equipment has been designed and constructed to prevent, as far as reasonably
practicable danger. Any work activity on or near equipment involving installation,
operation or maintenance must be, as far as reasonable, free from danger. Where there
is a risk of damage to electrical systems involving adverse weather, extreme
temperatures, wet, corrosive, or dirty conditions, flammable or explosive atmospheres,
the system must be suitably installed to prevent danger.
Protective Earthing
Equipment provided for the purpose of protecting individuals from electrical risk must
be suitable for the purpose and properly maintained and used.
Handling Precautions
This covers a range of activities including lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, carrying,
moving, holding, or restraining an object, animal, or person from the equipment. It also
covers activities that require the use of force or effort, such as pulling a lever, or
operating power tools. Where some of the above-mentioned activities are required, the
equipment must be handled with care to avoid being damaged.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Observe standard precautions for handling ESD-sensitive devices. Assume that all
solid-state electronic devices are ESD-sensitive. Ensure the use of a grounded wrist
strap or equivalent while working with ESD-sensitive devices. Transport, store, and
handle ESD-sensitive devices in static-safe environments.
