SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
There is always a danger present when using electronic equipment.
Unexpected high voltages can be present at unusual locations in defective equipment and signal
distribution systems. Become familiar with the equipment that you are working with and observe
the following safety precautions.
•Every precaution has been taken in the design of your MIP 6210 to ensure that it is as
safe as possible. However, safe operation depends on you the operator.
•Always be sure your equipment is in good working order. Ensure that all points of
connection are secure to the chassis and that protective covers are in place and secured
with fasteners.
•Never work alone when working in hazardous conditions. Always have another person
close by in case of an accident.
•Always refer to the manual for safe operation. If you have a question about the
application or operation call Sencore for assistance.
•WARNING –To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock never allow your equipment to
be exposed to water, rain or high moisture environments. If exposed to a liquid, remove
power safely (at the breaker) and send your equipment to be serviced by a qualified
technician.
•To reduce the risk of shock the MIP 6210 must be connected to a mains socket outlet
with a protective earth ground connection.
•For the MIP 6210 the mains plug is the main disconnect and should remain readily
accessible and operable at all times.
•To reduce the risk of shock and damage to equipment, it is recommended that the
chassis grounding screw located on the rear of the MIP 6210 –be connected to the
installation’s rack, the vehicle’s chassis, the battery’s negative terminal, and/or earth
ground.
