Evolution X1 Satellite Router
Installation Safety Guidelines
2.1 Installation Safety Guidelines
When installing the X1 Router, observe all caution and warning statements. Follow the
general warnings and cautions in Table 2-1 on page 5 and Table 2-2 on page 5 for personal
safety and to protect equipment. These guidelines may not cover all of the potentially
hazardous situations that may be encountered during installation.
The installation of the X1 Router must comply with the national and local electrical codes, as
follows:
• In the United States, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70, United States
National Electric Code
• In Canada, the Canadian Electric Code, Part 1, CC22.1
• In other countries, the International Electromechanical Commission (IEC)
Recommendation 364, part 1 through part 7
• All cables (IFL, LAN, and other cables) that run from the outdoor equipment to the indoor
equipment must be connected to a surge protector at the point of entry to the building
• Lightning protection should be installed to protect the X1 Outdoor Satellite Router unit as
appropriate for local conditions and per local codes
• Equipment connected to the protective grounding of the building installation through the
main connection or through other equipment with a connection to protective grounding,
and to a cable distribution system using coaxial cable, may in some circumstances create
a fire hazard. Connection to a cable distribution system must be made through a device
providing electrical isolation below a certain frequency range (galvanic isolator, see EN
60728-11).
Review the safety instructions in this chapter before installing, configuring, or performing
maintenance on the system:
• Always remove or disconnect ALL power connections before installing or removing a
chassis
• Keep the staging area clear and free of dust during and after installation
• Keep tools, X1 Router components, and shipping boxes away from walkway area
• The X1 Router operates safely when it is used in accordance with its marked electrical
ratings and product usage instructions
• In Norway, due to regulation for installations of cable distribution systems, and in
Sweden, a galvanic isolator shall provide electrical insulation below 5 MHz. The insulation
shall withstand a dielectric strength of 1.5 KV rms, 50 Hz or 60 Hz, for 1 minute.
• Utstyr som er koplet til beskyttelsesjord via nettplugg og/eller via annet jordtilkoplet
utstyr – og er tilkoplet et kabel-TV nett, kan forårsake brannfare. For å unngå dette
skal det ved tilkopling av utstyret til kabel-TV nettet installeres en galvanisk isolator
mellom utstyret og kabel- TV nettet.
• Utrustning som är kopplad till skyddsjord via jordat vägguttag och/eller via annan
utrustning och samtidigt är kopplad till kabel-TV nät kan i vissa fall medfőra risk főr
WARNING: Do not attempt to service the X1 Router internal assemblies, as
opening and removing covers may expose personnel to dangerous voltages or
other hazards. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
