The dust accumulated on the device can be absorbed by static electricity and result
in poor contact of metal contact points. Some measures have been taken for the
device to prevent static electricity, but too strong static electricity can cause deadly
damage to the electronic elements on the internal circuit board. To avoid the effect of
static electricity on the operation of the device, please attach much importance to the
following items:
■
Dust the device regularly, and keep the indoor air clean.
■
Keep the device well grounded and ensure static electricity has been transferred.
Electromagnetic Interference
Electronic elements including capacitance and inductance on the device can be
affected by external interferences, such as conducted emission by capacitance
coupling, inductance coupling, and impedance coupling. To decrease the interferences,
please make sure to take the following measures:
■

Installation
Redundant Power Supply
■
Keep the device far from high-frequency, strong-current devices, such as radio
transmitting station.
■
Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.
Lightening Protection
Extremely high voltage currents can be produced instantly when lightning occurs and
the air in the electric discharge path can be instantly heated up to
20,000℃
. As this
instant current is strong enough to damage electronic devices, more effective lightning
protection measures should be taken.
■
Ensure the rack and device are well earthed.
■
Make sure the power socket has a good contact with the ground.
■
Keep a reasonable cabling system and avoid induced lightning.
■
Use the signal SPD (Surge Protective Device) when wiring outdoor.
