Additional safety requirements for Norway and Sweden
Equipment connected to the protective earthing of the building installation
through the mains connection or through other equipment with a
connection to protective earthing - and to a cable distribution system
using coaxial cable, may in some circumstances create a fire hazard.
Connection to a cable distribution system has therefore to be provided
through a device providing electrical isolation below a certain frequency
range (galvanic isolator, see EN 60728-11)."
NOTE: In Norway, due to regulation for installations of cable distribution
systems, and in Sweden, a galvanic isolator shall provide electrical
insulation below 5 MHz. The insulation shall withstand a dielectric
strength of 1,5 kV r.m.s., 50 Hz or 60 Hz, for 1 min.
Translation to Norwegian:
Utstyr som er koplet til beskyttelsesjord via nettplugg og/eller via annet
jordtilkoplet utstyr - og er tilkoplet et kabel-TV nett, kan forårsake
brannfare. For å unngå dette skal det ved tilkopling av utstyret til
kabel-TV nettet installeres en galvanisk isolator mellom utstyret og
kabel-TV nettet.
Translation to Swedish:
Utrustning som är kopplad till skyddsjord via jordat vägguttag och/eller via
annan utrustning och samtidigt är kopplad till kabel-TV nät kan i vissa fall
medfõra risk fõr brand. Fõr att undvika detta skall vid anslutning av
utrustningen till kabel-TV nät galvanisk isolator finnas mellan utrustningen
och kabel-TV nätet.
Environmental
Operating the equipment in an environment other than that stated in the specifications
also invalidates the safety compliance.
Do not use the equipment in an environment in which the unit is exposed to:
•Unpressurised altitudes higher than 2000 metres;
•Extreme temperatures outside the stated operating range operating temperature
range 0 to + 50°C;
•Excessive dust;
•Moist or humid atmosphere above 85% RH;
•Excessive vibration;
•Flammable gases;
•Corrosive or explosive atmospheres;
•Direct sunlight.
Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the casing of the equipment. Do not use any
cleaning liquids containing alcohol, methylated spirit or ammonia etc.
