Firefly Safety Requirements
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
The following safety instructions apply to the
Visual Circuits Firefly:
1. Read and follow all warning notices and instructions marked on the
product or included in this manual. Opening or removing covers and/or
components may expose you to dangerous high voltage points or other
risks. Qualified personnel should perform all servicing.
2. The maximum ambient temperature for the Firefly is 114 degrees
Fahrenheit (45 degrees Celsius). Care should be given to allow sufficient
air circulation or space between units when Firefly is installed in a closed
or multi-unit rack assembly because the operating ambient temperature
of the rack environment must be greater than room ambient temperature.
3. Slots and openings in the cabinet (chassis) are provided for ventilation.
To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from
overheating, maintain a minimum of 1-inch (2.5-cm) clearance on the top
and sides.
4. Installation of the Firefly in a rack without sufficient airflow can be
unsafe.
5. If installed in a rack, the rack should safely support the combined weight
of all equipment it supports. A fully loaded Firefly weighs 4 pounds (1.5
kg).
6. The connections and equipment of the Firefly should be capable of
operating safely with the maximum power requirements of the Firefly. In
the event of a power overload, the supply circuits and supply wiring
should not become hazardous.
7. External power supply AC power inputs are intended to be used with the
three-wire grounding type plug (a plug that has a grounding pin). This is
a safety feature. Equipment grounding is vital to ensure safe operation.
Do not defeat the purpose of grounding type plugs by modifying the plug
or using an adapter.
8. If a three-wire grounding type power source is not available, consult a
qualified electrician to determine another method of grounding the
equipment.
9. Install only in restricted areas in accordance with Articles 110-16, 100-17
and 110-18 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
10. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord and do not locate the
product where persons will walk on or come in contact with the power
cord.
