Chapter 2 – Safety Information
RPV311-TM-EN-7
Consult the equipment documentation before installing,
commissioning, or servicing the equipment.
Always use the equipment as specified. Failure to do so will
jeopardise the protection provided by the equipment.
Removal of equipment panels or covers may
expose hazardous live parts. Do not touch until
the electrical power is removed. Take care when
there is unlocked access to the rear of the
equipment.
Isolate the equipment before working on the
terminal strips.
Use a suitable protective barrier for areas with
restricted space, where there is a risk of electric
shock due to exposed terminals.
Disconnect power before disassembling. Disassembly of the
equipment may expose sensitive electronic circuitry. Take
suitable precautions against electrostatic voltage discharge
(ESD) to avoid damage to the equipment.
NEVER look into optical fibres or optical output connections.
Always use optical power meters to determine operation or
signal level.
Testing may leave capacitors charged to dangerous voltage
levels. Discharge capacitors by reducing test voltages to zero
before disconnecting test leads.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may
be impaired.
Operate the equipment within the specified electrical and
environmental limits.
Before cleaning the equipment, ensure that no connections are
energised. Use a lint free cloth dampened with clean water.
Integration of the equipment into systems shall not interfere
with its normal functioning.
