RTxxx LEDlighting controllers - User Manual
2 Safety
Read this before using the RTxxx. Always observe the following safety
precautions. If in doubt, contact Gardasoft Vision Ltd. The following
symbols are used in this guide:
Warning: Read the instructions to understand the
possible hazards.
Warning: Surface may get hot.
Warning: Possible hazardous voltage.
Where these symbols appear in the manual, refer to the text for the
precautions to be taken.
2.1 Heat
Ensure the RTxxx is mounted correctly (see Section 5, Mounting the
RTxxx), and that you do not exceed any of the ratings for the unit (see
Section 1.1, Specifications and ratings)
At its maximum ratings, the RTxxx’s enclosure can exceed 65°C which is
sufficient to cause a burn if touched. Place in a position where personnel
cannot accidentally touch it and ensure there is a free flow of air around
the unit.
2.2 Electrical
The RTxxx produces high energy pulses. Take care to connect the outputs
correctly and protect the output wiring and load from any short-circuits.
When switched off, energy remains stored in the RTxxx for about 15
seconds.
The RTxxx does not have complete electrical isolation of inputs (including
triggering and communications ports) and outputs, therefore, please
observe the following guidance:
Computer equipment that is connected tothe communication or trigger
ports must be internally powered or separated from mains electricity by
double insulation/reinforced isolation or be approved to IEC 60950-1
standard. All other equipment connected tothe triggers or other ports
must also have double insulation/reinforced isolation protection from the
mains supply.
The Power Supply Unit (PSU) used to energise the RTxxx must provide
double insulation/reinforced isolation from mains electricity and protected
against short circuits and overloads. We recommend using a PSU that
