4. Important Safety Instructions

4.1 General Safety Instructions

• Read all of these instructions and save them for future reference.

• Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the device.

• Do not place the device on any unstable surface. If the device falls, serious damage will result.

• Do not use the device near water.

• Do not place the device near or over, radiators or heat registers.

• The device cabinet is provided with slots and openings to allow for adequate ventilation. To ensure reliable operation and protect against overheating, these openings should never be blocked or covered.

• The device should never be placed on a soft surface, such as a bed, sofa or rug. Doing so will block the device’s ventilation openings. Moreover, the device should not be placed in a built-in enclosure unless adequate ventilation has been provided.

• Never spill liquid of any type on the device.

• Unplug the device from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

• The device should be operated from the power source indicated on the marking label. If uncertain of the power available, consult your dealer or local power company.

• The device is designed for IT power distribution systems up to 230V phase-to-phase voltage.

• As an added safety feature, the device is equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug. If unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to plug into a 2-prong ungrounded outlet. Always follow local/national wiring codes.

• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord or cables. Route the power cord and cables to avoid them being stepped on or tripped over.

• If an extension cord is used with this device, ensure the total ampere ratings of all products used on the extension cord do not exceed its rated ampere rating. Also, ensure all products plugged into the wall do not exceed a total of 15 amperes.

• Consideration should be given to the connection of equipment and the supply circuit, as well as what effect overloading the supply circuit might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.

• To help protect the system from unexpected transient increases and decreases in electrical power, use a Tripp Lite Surge Protector, Line Conditioner, or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).

• Position system cables and power cables carefully so nothing rests on any cables.

• When connecting or disconnecting power to hot-pluggable power supplies, observe the following guidelines:

– Install the power supply before connecting the power cable to the power supply.

– Unplug the power cable before removing the power supply.

– If the system has multiple sources of power, disconnect power from the system by unplugging all power cables from the power supplies.

• Never push objects of any kind into or through cabinet slots. They may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts, resulting in a risk of fire or electrical shock.

• Do not attempt to service the device; refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

• If the following conditions occur, unplug the device from the wall outlet and bring it to qualified service personnel for repair:

– The power cord or plug has become damaged or frayed.

– Liquid has been spilled into the device.

– The device has been exposed to rain or water.

– The device has been dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged.

– The device exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.

– The device does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed.

• Only adjust controls covered in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage that will require extensive work by a qualified technician to repair.

• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended. Do not use this equipment in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
