Warning signs are provided to prevent personal injuries and/or damages to the product.
The following levels are used:

Level of warning	Description	Consequence personal injury	Consequence material damage
WARNING	Indicates a potentially situation	Possible death or major injury	Major damage to the product
CAUTION	Indicates a potentially hazardous situation	Minor or moderate injury	Moderate damage to the product
NOTICE	Provides information in order to avoid misuse of the product, confusion or misunderstanding	No personal injury	Minor damage to the product

Safety Information

Before installation:
Read this manual completely and gather all information on the product. Make sure that you understand it fully. Check that your application does not exceed the safe operating specifications for this product.

WARNING – SAFETY DURING INSTALLATION The product must be installed and operated by qualified service personnel and installed into an apparatus cabinet or similar, where access is restricted to service personnel only. During installation, ensure a protective earthing conductor is first connected to the protective earthing terminal (only valid for metallic housings). Westermo recommends a crosssectional area of at least 4 mm2. If the product does not have a protective earthing terminal, then the DIN-rail must be connected to protective earth. Upon removal of the product, ensure that the protective earthing conductor, or the connection to earth via the DIN-rail, is disconnected last.

WARNING – HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE
Do not open an energized product. Hazardous voltage may occur when connected to a power supply.
WARNING – PROTECTIVE FUSE
The power supply wiring must be sufficiently fused. It must be possible to disconnect manually from the power supply. Ensure compliance to national installation regulations. Replacing the internal fuse must only be performed by Westermo qualified personell.

WARNING – REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE
To reduce the risk of fire, use only telecommunication line cords with a cable diameter of AWG 26 or larger. Regarding power cable dimensions, see Interface Specifications.
CAUTION – CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT
Do not look directly info a fibre optical port or any connected fibre, although the product is designed to meed the Class 1 Laser regulations and complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11.
CAUTION – FIBRE OPTIC HANDLING
Fibre optic equipment need special treatment. It is very sensitive to dust and dirt. If the fibre is disconnected from the product, the protective plugs on the transmitter/receiver must be connected. The protective plugs must be kept on during transportation. The fibre optics cables must be handled the same way.
CAUTION – CORROSIVE GASES
If the product is placed in a corrosive environment, it is important that all unused connector sockets are protected with a suitable plug, in order to avoid corrosion attacks on the gold plated connector pins.
CAUTION – ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
Prevent electrostatic discharge damages to internal electronic parts by discharging your body to a grounding point (e.g. use a wrist strap).

Care recommendations

Follow the care recommendations below to maintain full operation of product and to fulfil the warranty obligations:

• Do not drop, knock or shake the product. Rough handling above the specification may cause damage to internal circuit boards.
• Use a dry or slightly water-damp cloth to clean the product. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents.

• Methyl-, ethyl-, isopropyl- or isobutyl-alcohol
• Hexane
• Naphtha

Maintenance

No maintenance is required, as long as the product is used as intended within the specified conditions.
