Please read and follow these
instructions before operating
a GPI-6 general purpose
inputs interface.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please read and follow these instructions before operating a GPI-6 general purpose
inputs interface. Keep these instructions for future reference.
(1) WA R NI NG : To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this
apparatus to rain or moisture.
(2) Do not use the apparatus near water.
(3) Clean only with a dry cloth.
(4) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions. Install the GPI-6 interface according to the
directions in the Installation Chapter of this manual.
(5) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not place naked
flame sources such as candles on or near the matrix.
(6) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug or grounding-type
plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A
grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide
blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does
not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete
outlet.
(7) Protect power leads from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, at
convenience receptacles, and at the point where they exit from the apparatus.
Note: A “convenience receptacle” is an extra AC power outlet located on the back
of a piece of equipment, intended to allow you to power other equipment.
(8) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
(9) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when
moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
(10) Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long
periods of time.
(11) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when
the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as a power-supply cord or plug
is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has
been dropped.
Please familiarize yourself with the safety symbols in Figure 1. When you see
these symbols on a GPI-6 general purpose inputs interface module, they warn
you of the potential danger of electric shock if the module is used improperly.
They also refer you to important operating and maintenance instructions in the
manual.
