Safety
Save these instructions!
This Safety Information contains important instructions that should be followed during
installation and maintenance of the EnergySwitch. It is intended for Racktivity customers who set
up, install, relocate, or maintain Racktivity equipment. Changes and modifications to this unit not
expressly approved by Racktivity could void the warranty.
Electrical Hazard!
Read the following information before installing or operating your EnergySwitch:
Do not work alone under hazardous conditions.
High current through conductive materials could cause severe burns.
Follow all local and national codes when installing the EnergySwitch.
To avoid possible electrical shock and equipment damage, use only the supplied hardware.
The EnergySwitch should be connected to a single-outlet dedicated circuit, protected by a
circuit breaker with the same current rating as the EnergySwitch.
The plug serves as the disconnect for the EnergySwitch. Make sure the utility power outlet
for the EnergySwitch will be close to the EnergySwitch and readily accessible.
Make sure the utility power outlet and the EnergySwitch power cord and plug are in good
condition.
Do not connect the EnergySwitch to an ungrounded utility power outlet.
Do not operate your EnergySwitch with any covers removed or when it is damaged.
This EnergySwitch contains potentially hazardous voltages. There are no user serviceable
parts inside the EnergySwitch. All repairs and service should be performed by authorized
service personnel only.
The power requirement for each piece of equipment connected to the EnergySwitch must
not exceed the individual outlet’s load rating.
The EnergySwitch provides convenient multiple power outlets, but it does not provide surge
or line noise protection for connected equipment.
The EnergySwitch is designed for indoor use only in a controlled environment away from
excess moisture, temperature extremes, conductive contaminants, dust, direct sunlight or
magnetic sources.
The total power requirement for equipment connected to the EnergySwitch must NOT
exceed the maximum load rating for the EnergySwitch.
Do not attempt to mount the EnergySwitch to an insecure or unstable surface.
Never attempt to install electrical equipment during a thunderstorm.
Use of this equipment in life support applications or any medical applications is strictly
prohibited since failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of
the life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety.
Putting several EnergySwitch units in cascade is NOT allowed.
