Operator’s Safety Summary
WARNING: These instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. To reduce
the risk of electric shock, do not perform this installation or any servicing unless you
are qualified to do so. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Ensuring Safety
The unit should not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and no objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the unit.
When the unit is to be permanently cabled, connect the protective ground conductor
before making any other connections.
Operate built-in units only when they are properly fitted into the system.
For permanently cabled units without built-in fuses, automatic switches, or similar
protective facilities, the AC supply line must be fitted with fuses rated to the units.
Before switching on the unit, ensure that the operating voltage set at the unit
matches the line voltage, if appropriate. If a different operating voltage is to be set,
use a fuse with the appropriate rating. Refer to the Installation Instructions.
Units of Protection Class I with an AC supply cable and plug that can be
disconnected must be operated only from a power socket with protective ground
contact:
−Do not use an extension cable—it can render the protective ground connection
ineffective.
−Do not intentionally interrupt the protective ground conductor.
−Do not break the protective ground conductor inside or outside the unit or
loosen the protective ground connection; such actions can cause the unit to
become electrically hazardous.
Before opening the unit, isolate it from the AC supply, and then ensure that
−Adjustments, part replacements, maintenance, and repairs are carried out by
qualified personnel only.
−Safety regulations and rules are observed to prevent accidents.
−Only original parts are used to replace parts relevant to safety (for example, the
power on/off switches, power transformers, and fuses).
Replaceable fuses can be hazardous when live. Before replacing a fuse, disconnect
the AC power source.
Use caution when cleaning the equipment; isopropyl alcohol or similar solvents can
damage or remove the labels.
Observe any additional safety instructions specified in this manual.

Directives and Compliances
This section provides information concerning Harris Corporation compliance with EU
Directive 2002/95/EC and EU Directive 2002/96/EC.
Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive
2002/95/EC
Hazardous Substances (RoHS)—sets limits on the use of certain substances found in
electrical and electronic equipment. The intent of this legislation is to reduce the
amount of hazardous chemicals that may leach out of landfill sites or otherwise
contaminate the environment during end-of-life recycling. The Directive, which took
effect on July 1, 2006, refers to the following hazardous substances:
Lead (Pb)
Mercury (Hg)
Cadmium (Cd)
Hexavalent Chromium (Cr-V1)
Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)
Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)
In accordance with this EU Directive, all Harris products sold in the European Union
will be fully RoHS-compliant and “lead-free.” (See the Harris Premier website for
more information on dates and deadlines for compliance.) Spare parts supplied for the
repair and upgrade of equipment sold before July 1, 2006 are exempt from the
legislation. Harris equipment that complies with the EU directive will be marked with a
RoHS-compliant symbol, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. RoHS Compliance Symbol
Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC
The European Union (EU) Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste from Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) deals with the collection, treatment, recovery, and
recycling of electrical and electronic waste products. The objective of the WEEE
Directive is to assign the responsibility for the disposal of associated hazardous waste
to either the producers or users of these products. As of August 13, 2005, producers or
users are required to recycle electrical and electronic equipment at end of its useful life,
and must not dispose of the equipment in landfills or by using other unapproved
methods. (Some EU member states may have different deadlines.)

Directives and Compliances
viii VTM-2000 Installation and Operation Handbook
Copyright © 2007, 2008, Harris Corporation
In accordance with this EU Directive, Harris Corporation and other companies selling
electric or electronic devices in the EU will affix labels indicating that such products
must be properly recycled.
(See the Harris Premier website for more information on dates and deadlines for
compliance.) Contact your local Harris sales representative for information on
returning these products for recycling. Harris equipment that complies with the EU
directive will be marked with a WEEE-compliant symbol, as shown in Figure 2.
