Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions
Read these instructions carefully before you install, operate, or transport the system.
Install the system or DIN rail associated with, at a sturdy location
Install the power socket outlet near the system where it is easily accessible
Secure each system module(s) using its retaining screws
Place power cords and other connection cables away from foot traffic. Do not
place items over power cords and make sure they do not rest against data cables
Shutdown, disconnect all cables from the system and ground yourself before
touching internal modules
Ensure that the correct power range is being used before powering the device
Should a module fail, arrange for a replacement as soon as possible to minimize
down-time
By means of a power cord connected to a socket-outlet with earthing connection
This product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Power Adapter or DC power
source, rated 8-35V, 16A, Tma 60 degree C and 5000m altitude during operation.
If further assistance is required, please contact Neousys Technology
