Follow these guidelines to ensure general safety:

Keep the chassis area clear and dust-free during and after installation.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that could get caught in the chassis. Fasten your tie or scarf and

roll up your sleeves.

Wear safety glasses if you are working under any conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.
Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
Disconnect all power by turning off the power and unplugging the power cord before installing or

removing a chassis or working near power supplies

Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit; always check the circuit.

Risk of Explosion if Battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the

instructions.

Installation only by a trained electrician or only by an electrically trained person who knows all English

Installation and Device Specifications which are to be applied.

Do not carry the handle of power supplies when moving to another place.
The machine can only be used in a fixed location such as labs or computer facilities.

Electrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature may not be adequate to cool equipment

to acceptable operating temperatures without adequate circulation. Be sure that the room in which you

choose to operate your system has adequate air circulation.

Ensure that the chassis cover is secure. The chassis design allows cooling air to circulate effectively. An

open chassis permits air leaks, which may interrupt and redirect the flow of cooling air from internal

components.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD damage occurs

when electronic components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures.

Be sure to follow ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing components to avoid these

problems.

Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. If no wrist strap is

available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.

Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between 1 and 10

megohms (Mohms).

NCA-1020 User Manual

Environment:

Do not install and/or operate this unit in any place that flammable objects are stored or used in.
Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient

temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration

should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient

temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.

Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of airflow

required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition

is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply

circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over-current protection and supply

wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this

concern.

Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular

attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g.,

use of power strips).

Lanner Electronics Inc. shall not be held liable for any losses resulting from insufficient strength for

supporting the unit or use of inappropriate installation components.

Installation & Operation:

The installation of this product must be performed by trained specialists; otherwise, a non-specialist

might create the risk of the unit’s falling to the ground or other damages.

Lanner Electronics Inc. shall not be held liable for any losses resulting from insufficient strength for

supporting the unit or use of inappropriate installation components.

Suivez ces consignes pour assurer la sécurité générale :
Laissez la zone du châssis propre et sans poussière pendant et après l’installation.
Ne portez pas de vêtements amples ou de bijoux qui pourraient être pris dans le châssis. Attachez votre

cravate ou écharpe et remontez vos manches.

Portez des lunettes de sécurité pour protéger vos yeux.
N’effectuez aucune action qui pourrait créer un danger pour d’autres ou rendre l’équipement

dangereux.

Coupez complètement l’alimentation en éteignant l’alimentation et en débranchant le cordon

d’alimentation avant d’installer ou de retirer un châssis ou de travailler à proximité de sources

d’alimentation.

Ne travaillez pas seul si des conditions dangereuses sont présentes.
Ne considérez jamais que l’alimentation est coupée d’un circuit, vérifiez toujours le circuit. Cet appareil

L’équipement électrique génère de la chaleur. La température ambiante peut ne pas être adéquate pour

refroidir l’équipement à une température de fonctionnement acceptable sans circulation adaptée.

Vérifiez que votre site propose une circulation d’air adéquate.

Vérifiez que le couvercle du châssis est bien fixé. La conception du châssis permet à l’air de

refroidissement de bien circuler. Un châssis ouvert laisse l’air s’échapper, ce qui peut interrompre et

rediriger le flux d’air frais destiné aux composants internes.

Les décharges électrostatiques (ESD) peuvent endommager l’équipement et gêner les circuits

électriques. Des dégâts d’ESD surviennent lorsque des composants électroniques sont mal manipulés et

peuvent causer des pannes totales ou intermittentes. Suivez les procédures de prévention d’ESD lors du

retrait et du remplacement de composants.

Portez un bracelet anti-ESD et veillez à ce qu’il soit bien au contact de la peau. Si aucun bracelet n’est

disponible, reliez votre corps à la terre en touchant la partie métallique du châssis.

Vérifiez régulièrement la valeur de résistance du bracelet antistatique, qui doit être comprise entre 1 et

10 mégohms (Mohms).

Avant d’allumer l’appareil, reliez le câble de mise à la terre de l’équipement à la terre.
Une bonne mise à la terre (connexion à la terre) est très importante pour protéger l’équipement contre

les effets néfastes du bruit externe et réduire les risques d’électrocution en cas de foudre.

Pour désinstaller l’équipement, débranchez le câble de mise à la terre après avoir éteint l’appareil.
Un câble de mise à la terre est requis et la zone reliant les sections du conducteur doit faire plus de 4

mm2 ou 10 AWG.
