Important Safety Instructions

1. Read and follow all warning notices and instructions marked on the product or

included in the manual.

2. Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers

may expose you to dangerous high voltage points or other risks. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.

3. WARNING: This unit supports a redundant 48 VDC power input connection.

Disconnect both sources of input power before servicing.

4. This product is to be installed only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated

equipment rooms, equipment closets or the like) in accordance with articles
110-16, 110-17 and 110-18 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

5. This product is to be connected to a 48 VDC SELV supply source that is

electrically isolated from the AC source.

6. The positive terminal of the 48 VDC source is to be reliably connected to

earth. Connect a green/yellow earthing (grounding) wire to the protective
earthing (grounding) lug connector, identified by the protective earth symbol
on the chassis.

7. A readily accessible disconnect device as part of the building installation shall

be incorporated in fixed wiring. The disconnect device (a 48 VDC, 10 A, single
pole circuit breaker or switch) must be included in the ungrounded supply

fire, use a UL Listed or CSA Certified, minimum No. 26 AWG (0.128 mm2)
telecommunication cable, or comparable cables certified for use in the country
of installation.

11. A rare phenomenon can create a voltage potential between the earth grounds

of two or more buildings. If products installed in separate buildings are
interconnected, the voltage potential may cause a hazardous condition.
Consult a qualified electrical consultant to determine whether or not this
phenomenon exists and, if necessary, implement corrective action prior to
interconnecting the products.

12. In addition, if the equipment is to be used with telecommunications circuits,

take the following precautions:
