Precautions
Important Safety Warnings
[Power]
Caution
Operate unit only at the specified supply voltage.
Disconnect the power cord via the power plug only. Do not pull on the cable
portion.
Stop
Do not place or drop heavyor sharp-edged objectson the power cord. A damaged
cord can cause fire or electrical shock hazards. Regularly check the power cord for
excessive wear or damage to avoid possible fire / electrical hazards.
Caution
Ensure the power cord is firmly plugged into the AC outlet.
[Grounding]
Caution
Ensure the unit is properly grounded at all times to prevent electrical shock.
Hazard
Do not ground the unit to gas lines, units, or fixtures of an explosive or dangerous
nature.
[Operation]
Hazard
Do not operate the unit under hazardous or potentially explosive atmospheric
conditions. Doing so could result in fire, explosion, or other hazardous results.
Hazard
Do not allow liquids, metal pieces, or other foreign materials to enter the unit.
Doing so could result in fire, other hazards, or a unit malfunction.
If a foreign material does enter the unit, turn the power off and immediately
disconnect the power cord. Remove the material and contact an authorized
service representative if damage has occurred.
[Transportation]
Hazard
Handle with care to avoid impact shock during transit, which may cause
malfunction. When you need to transport the unit, use the original or suitable
alternative packing material.

5
[Circuitry Access]
Do not remove covers, panels, casing, or access the circuitry with power applied
to the unit. Turn the power off and disconnect the power cord prior to removal.
Internal servicing / adjustment of unit should only be performed by qualified
personnel.
Stop
Do not touch any parts / circuitry with a high heat factor.
Capacitors can retain enough electric charge to cause mild to serious shock, even
after the power has been disconnected. Capacitors associated with the power
supply are especially hazardous.
Hazard
Unit should not be operated or stored with cover, panels, and / or casing removed.
Operating the unit withcircuitry exposed could result in electric shock/ fire hazards
or a unit malfunction.
[Potential Hazards]
Caution
If abnormal odors or noises are noticed coming from the unit, immediately turn the
power off and disconnectthe power cord to avoid potentially hazardous conditions.
If problems similar to the above occur, contact an authorized service
representative before attempting to operate the unit again.
[Rack Mount Brackets, Ground Terminal, and Rubber Feet]
Caution
To rack-mount or ground the unit, or to install rubber feet, do not use screws or
materials other than those supplied. Doing so may cause damage to the internal
circuits or components of the unit. If you remove the rubber feet that are attached
to the unit, do not reinsert the screws that secure the rubber feet.
[Consumables]
Caution
Consumable items that are used in the unit must be periodically replaced. For
further details on which parts are consumables and when they should be replaced,
refer to the specifications at the end of the Operation Manual. Since the service life
of the consumables varies greatlydepending on the environment in which they are
used, such items should be replaced at an early date. For details on replacing
consumable items, contact your dealer.

6
Upon Receipt
Unpacking
FA-10RU units and their accessories are fully inspected and adjusted prior to shipment.
Operation can be performed immediately upon completing all required connections and
operational settings.
Check your received items against the packing lists below. Check to ensure no damage has
occurred during shipment. If damage has occurred, or items are missing, inform your supplier
immediately.

Installing the AC Cord Retaining Clip
Secure the AC cord with the supplied ladder strap/retaining clip assembly to prevent accidental
removal from the FA-10RU.
Installing the clip
1) Wrap the retaining clip around the AC cord. (with the anchor of the ladder strap toward the
unit.)
2) Insert the anchor into the hole next to the AC IN socket.
3) Lightly fasten the clip around the AC cord.
4) Plug in the power cord.
5) Slide the clip on the ladder strap toward the plug.
6) Fasten the clip tightly.
7) Gently pull on the AC cord to ensure it is secured.
