WARNING: Protection provided by the equipment may be impaired, if the
equipment is used in a manner not specified by this manual.
Specifications.
The terminals are protected from becoming hazardous live by means of basic insulation and protective
screening.
Whenever it is likely that safe operation is impaired, the instrument must be made inoperative and secured
against unintended operation. The appropriate servicing authority must be informed.
For example, safety is likely to be impaired if the instrument fails to perform the intended measurements or
shows visible damage
ATTENTION
1.5 Electrostatic Sensitive Devices
All ICs and many other semi-conductors are susceptible to electrostatic discharges (ESD).
Careless handling during repair can reduce lifetime drastically.
When repairing, make sure that you are connected to the same potential as the mass of the set via a wrist
wrap with resistance. Keep components and tools also at this potential.

4.1 Initial Inspection
If the contents are incomplete or damaged a claim should be filed with the carrier immediately, and the
DIBSYS Customer Support should be notified, in order to facilitate the repair or replacement of the
instrument.
4.2 Safety Instruction
4.2.1 Earthing
Before any other connection is made, the instrument must be connected to a protective earth conductor in
one of the following ways: via the three-core mains cable via the protective earth terminal marked.

MultiScreen Encoder Dibsys Technologies Co.,Ltd
11
Before connecting the equipment to the mains of the building installation, the proper functioning of the
protective earth lead of the building installation needs to be verified.
Warning: Any interruption of the protective conductor inside or outside the
instrument, or disconnection of the protective earth terminal, is likely to make the
instrument dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited.
4.3 Mains Voltage Cord and Fuses
Different power cords are available for the various voltage outlets.
Note: If the mains plug has to be adapted for local use, only a qualified person should carry out this task.
This instrument is equipped with a tap-less switch mode power supply that covers most nominal voltage
ranges in use: 90-250V AC RMS. This obviates the need to adapt to the local mains voltage.
The mains frequency is 48-63 Hz.
Warning: This instrument shall be disconnected from all voltage sources when
replacing a fuse.
Mains fuse rating: 2 pcs. 1.25A slow blow, 250 V.
The mains fuse-holder is located on the rear panel of the instrument.
If the mains fuse has to be replaced please proceed as follows:
1. Remove the power cable.
2. Lift the plastic cover (fuse-holder) by means of a small screwdriver.
3. Insert the new fuse into the top of the fuse-holder.
4. Re-insert the cover (fuse-holder).
Warning: Make sure that only fuses of the required rating, voltage, and of the specified
type are used for replacement.
The use of repaired (jumpered) fuses and/or the short-circuiting of the fuse holder are
prohibited
Fuses must only be replaced by a qualified person who is aware of the hazards
involved.

4.4 Rack Mounting
This DIBSYS instrument is delivered in a 19" cabinet. If several cabinets are mounted in a 19" rack, special
attention must be paid to the temperature inside the rack.
Note: The operation of the fan is temperature controlled.
If the Caster-T322 is mounted between other instruments with high surface temperature, this cooling may not
be sufficient. Under these circumstances, it is recommended to make space between the instruments, and to
establish forced circulation (cooling) in the rack.
4.5 Cleaning
- Disconnect the instrument from the mains voltage supply before cleaning
- Use only a damp cloth
- Make sure that no liquid is spilled inside the instrument
4.6 Access to and Replacement of Parts
4.6.1 Safety
The opening of covers or removal of parts, except those to which access can be gained by hand, is liable to
expose live parts.
The instrument must be disconnected from all voltage sources before performing any adjustment,
replacement, maintenance, or repair, which requires the instrument to be opened. If repair of the opened
instrument is unavoidable, it must only be carried out by a skilled person, who is aware of the hazards
involved. To guarantee safety only original spare parts must be used.
4.6.2 Access to the Units
To gain access to the units, remove the screws that secure the top cover of the instrument and lift the cover
up.
