required, be sure the service technician uses
replacement parts specified by Sencore, or parts
having the same operating characteristics as the
original parts. Unauthorized part substitutions made
may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
Safety Warnings and Cautions
There is always a danger present when using electronic equipment.
Unexpected high voltages can be present at unusual locations in defective equipment and signal distribution systems. Become
familiar with the equipment that you are working with and observe the following safety precautions.
For your safety and the proper operation of the device:
● Every precaution has been taken in the design of the product to ensure that it is as safe as possible. However, safe
operation depends on you the operator.
● Always be sure your equipment is in good working order. Ensure that all points of connection are secure to the chassis
and that protective covers are in place and secured with fasteners.
● Never work alone when working in hazardous conditions. Always have another person close by in case of an accident.
● Always refer to the manual for safe operation. If you have a question about the application or operation call Adtec for
assistance.
● WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock never allow your equipment to be exposed to water, rain or high
moisture environments. If exposed to a liquid, remove power safely (at the breaker) and send your equipment to be
serviced by a qualified technician.
● To reduce the risk of shock the product must be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing
connection.
● The mains plug is the main disconnect and should remain readily accessible and operable at all times.
10.29.14- v2.1.1
● The product is equipped with an internal system battery. The product must be sent to Adtec service for replacement of
this battery.
CAUTION – Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
● This unit must be installed and serviced by suitably qualified personnel only.
● Do not break the warranty seals on the device or open the lid. Only approved service technicians are permitted to
service this equipment.
● Disconnect all power before servicing the unit.
● Clean only with a dry cloth.
● If not installed in an equipment rack, install the product securely on a stable surface.
● Install the product in a protected location where no on can step or trip over the supply cord, and where the supply cord
will not be damaged.
● If a system is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than the room ambient temperature.
● Consideration should be given to installing the unit in an environment compatible with the maximum recommended
ambient temperature of 50 degrees Celcius (122 degrees Fahrenheit).
● Install the unit in a rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation is not compromised.
○ The recommended clearance on the top and sides of the unit is at least ½ “ (one half inch/one centimeter).
● Mounting of the unit in a rack should be such that no hazardous condition is achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
● Use only a grounded electrical outlet when connecting the unit to a power source.
● Reliable earth grounding of rack-mount equipment should be maintained.
○ Particular attention should be given to supply connection other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g.,
use of power strips).
