2  Preparing for Installation 
2.1  Safety Precautions   
 
To avoid personal injury and device damage, carefully read the safety precautions before you install the switch. 
 
The following safety precautions may not cover all possible dangers. 
2.1.1  General Safety Precautions   
  Keep the chassis clean, free from any dust.   
  Do not place the device in walking areas.   
  During the installation and maintenance, do not wear loose clothes, ornaments, or any other things that may be hooked by the 
chassis.   
  Cut off all the power supplies and unplug all power cords before moving or handling the switch.   
2.1.2  Handling Safety   
  Prevent the switch from being frequently handled. 
  Keep balance and prevent personal injuries when handling the switch 
  Cut off all the power supplies and unplug all power cords before moving or handling the switch. 
2.1.3  Electric Safety   
  Observe local regulations and specifications during electric operations. Only personnel with relevant qualifications can perform 
such operations. 
  Check whether there are potential risks in the work area. For example, check whether the power supply is grounded, whether 
the grounding is reliable, and whether the ground is wet.   
  Find out the position of the indoor emergency power switch before installation. Cut off the power switch in case of accidents.   
  Do not maintain the device by yourself when the device is powered on.   
  Make sure that the device is powered off when you cut off the power supply.   
  Do not place the switch in a wet position, and keep the switch away from liquid.   
 
Any nonstandard and inaccurate operation can cause an accident such as fire or electrical attack, thus causing severe damages 
to human bodies and device. 
 
Direct or indirect touch through a wet object on high-voltage and mains supply can bring a fatal danger. 
 
If a power supply system is equipped with a leakage protector (also referred to as “leakage current switch” or “leakage current 
breaker”), the rated leakage action current of each leakage protector is greater than twice of the theoretical maximum leakage 
current of all the power supplies in the system. For example, if a system is equipped with 16 identical power supplies, the leakage 
current of each power supply is equal to or less than 1.75 mA, and the leakage current of the system totals 28 mA. A leakage 
protector  with  30  mA  rated  action  current  supports  less  than  nine  power  supplies  (that  is,  Action  current  of  the  leakage 
protector/2/Maximum leakage current of each power supply = 30/2/1.75 ≈ 8.57). In other words, the leakage protector with 30
