NOTE:
Dust diameter ≥ 5 μm
The equipment room must also meet limits on salts, acids, and sulfides to eliminate corrosion and
premature aging of components, as shown in Table 3.

EMI
All electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources, from outside or inside of the switch and application
system, adversely affect the switch in the following ways:
• A conduction pattern of capacitance coupling.
• Inductance coupling.
• Electromagnetic wave radiation.
• Common impedance (including the grounding system) coupling.
To prevent EMI, use the following guidelines:
• If AC power is used, use a single-phase three-wire power receptacle with protection earth (PE)
to filter interference from the power grid.
• Keep the switch far away from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency
devices.
• Use electromagnetic shielding, for example, shielded interface cables, when necessary.
• To prevent signal ports from getting damaged by overvoltage or overcurrent caused by lightning
strikes, route interface cables only indoors.
Laser safety
WARNING!
The switch is class 1 laser device. Do not stare into any fiber port when the switch has power. The
laser light emitted from the optical fiber might hurt your eyes.
Installation tools
• Flat-blade screwdriver
• Phillips screwdriver
