CAUTION: Do not bend fiber-optic cables beyond their minimum bend
radius.An arc smallerthan a few inches in diameter can damagethe cables
and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose.
Do not let fiber-optic cables hang free from the connector. Do not allow
fastened loops of cables to dangle, which stresses the cables at the
fastening point.

•
2.5-mm flat-blade (–) screwdriver
To connect the router to external alarm-reporting devices, attach wires to the ALARM
relay contacts on the front panel of the router. A system condition that triggers the red
or yellow alarm on the router also activates the corresponding alarm relay contact.
The terminal blocks that plug into the alarm relay contacts are supplied with the router.
They accept wire of any gauge between 20 AWG (0.52 mm
