1.3 Safety Information
Review this section before attempting to service the TVC-1211 controller.
1.3.1 Prevent Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. ESD damage can shorten a component's life
expectancy or render it useless.
The following precautions can reduce the risk of ESD damage to components:
• Ground yourself properly when working with a static-sensitive component or assembly.
• If possible, work on a grounded surface.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive components in their static-safe packaging until you are ready to install.
• Always avoid touching pins, leads or circuitry.

Section 1: Introduction
1.3.2 Installation Guidelines
Installation in a rack assembly is recommended for this product. Carefully read the following guidelines to
ensure the TVC-1211 can maintain optimum operation.
Elevated Ambient Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment
may be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Therefore, consideration should be given to
installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature of 35°C
(95°F).
Reduced Air Flow
Maintain unrestricted airflow around the installed equipment at all times. For rack installation, it is
recommended to leave a minimum of 1U (1.75”/44.45 mm) above the expansion chassis
Mechanical Loading
A void uneven mechanical loading to minimize possible hazardous conditions when mounting the equipment in
a rack.
Circuit Overloading
Ensure the equipment is properly connected to the supply circuit and follow equipment ratings to avoid circuit
overloading.
Reliable Grounding
Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to
supply connections rather than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips).
Grounding the Expansion Chassis
The expansion chassis must be connected to a reliable earth ground and installed in accordance with local
electrical safety standards.
