Safety Precautions
English
Be sure to take the following safety precautions during installation and maintenance of
the Freeway communications server:
•Observe the warnings and directions printed on the Freeway server and its asso-
ciated equipment.
•Check the electrical rating label on the Freeway chassis. Be sure that the voltage
and frequency of your power source match this rating.
•The Freeway server must be plugged into a grounded, three-wire power outlet.
Do not use an adapter that permits a three-wire electrical cord to be plugged into
a two-wire power outlet.
•Use appropriately rated extension cords or power strips only.
•To ensure proper cooling, always operate the Freeway server with its covers in
place. Do not cover or block any of the openings on the Freeway chassis. Do not
place the unit near a heater.
•Do not insert objects through openings in the Freeway chassis. Doing so could
result in a short circuit that might cause a fire or an electric shock.
•Do not modify the Freeway equipment in any way. Simpact, Inc. is not responsi-
ble for regulatory compliance of any Freeway communications server that has
been modified. Altering the Freeway enclosure in any way other than the installa-
tion of Simpact-provided options may invalidate Freeway’s safety certifications.

16 DC 900-1537B
Freeway 1200/1300 Hardware Installation Guide
•Always unplug the Freeway AC power cord before removing the top or bottom
covers for servicing.

Précautions d’emploi
Nous vous prions de suivre les précautions d’emploi suivantes au cours de l’installation
ou de tout entretien de votre serveur de communication Freeway:
•Respecter les avertissements et les instructions imprimées sur le serveur Freeway
et les appareils qui y sont associés.
•Vérifier les normes électriques indiquées sur une étiquette se trouvant sur le châs-
sis Freeway. Prière de s’assurer que le voltage et la fréquence de la source d’alimen-
tation sont compatibles avec ces normes.
•Le serveur Freeway doit être branché dans une prise de terre à trois broches. Ne
pas utiliser d’adaptateur permettant de brancher une prise mâle à trois broches
dans une prise de courant à deux broches.
•N’utiliser des rallonges, fils électriques ou parasurtenseurs qu’aux normes appro-
priées.
•Afin de refroidir correctement le serveur Freeway, utiliser seulement celui-ci avec
la housse en place. Ne pas couvrir ou bloquer les ouvertures du châssis Freeway.
Ne pas placer l’appareil Freeway près d’une source de chaleur.
•Ne pas insérer d’objets par les ouvertures du châssis Freeway. Ceci risquerait de
provoquer un court-circuit résultant en une décharge ou un incendie.
•Ne pas modifier l’appareil Freeway de quelque manière que ce soit. Simpact, Inc.
ne pourra être tenu responsable de toute infraction aux normes d’un serveur de
communication Freeway ayant été modifié. Toute altération de l’enveloppe Free-
way d’une manière autre que pour l’installation d’options fournies par Simpact
risque de rendre les normes de sécurité de Freeway invalides.

DC 900-1537B 17
•Toujours débrancher le fil d’alimentation en courant alternatif de Freeway avant
d’enlever la housse supérieure ou inférieure à des fins d’entretien.

Sicherheitsvorkehrungen
Vergewissern Sie sich, daß die folgenden Sicherheitsmaßnahmen bei der Installation
und Wartung des Freeway Kommunikations-Servers eingehalten werden:
•Lesen Sie die Anleitung und Sicherheitsregeln auf dem Freeway Server und auf
dem Zubehör.
•Die Voltspannung und Frequenz der von Ihnen verwendeten Stromquelle muß
mit den elektrischen Werten, die auf dem Freeway Chassis angegeben sind, übere-
instimmen.
•Der Freeway Server muß an eine geerdete, dreiadrige Stromquelle angeschlossen
werden. Bitte verwenden Sie keine Adapter, die den Anshluß dreiadriger Kabel an
zweiadrige Stromquellen ermöglichen.
•Benutzen Sie nur den Angaben entsprechende Verlängerungskabel oder Steck-
dosenleisten.
•Benutzen Sie den Freeway Server nur, wenn alle Abdeckungen intakt sind und die
vordere Scharniertür geschlossen ist. Blockieren Sie in keiner Weise irgendwelche
Öffnungen des Freeway Chassis, und positionieren Sie den Apparat nicht in der
Nähe einer Heizung.
•Stecken Sie keine Gegenstände durch die Öffnungen des Gehäuses; dies könnte
einen Kurzschluß hervorrufen, der einen Brand oder einen elektrischen Schlag
verursachen kann.
•Verändern Sie in keiner Weise das Freeway Zubehör. Simpact, Inc. ist nicht für
abgeänderte Freeway Kommunikations-Server verantwortlich, die demzufolge
den vorgeschriebenen Regeln nicht entsprechen. Jegliche Abänderungen der

Freeway 1200/1300 Hardware Installation Guide
Freeway Anlage, mit Ausnahme der Installation von Simpact-Sonderausstattun-
gen, können die Sicherheitsbescheinigung der Anlage ungültig werden lassen.
•Entfernen Sie immer das Freeway Stromkabel von der Stromquelle, bevor Sie die
oberen oder unteren Deckel zur Wartung abnehmen.
Italiano
Norme di sicurezza
Durante l’installazione e la manutenzione del server per le comunicazioni Freeway
seguire le seguenti norme di sicurezza:
•Seguire le avvertenze e le istruzioni stampate sul server Freeway e sulle altre unità
ad esso collegate;
•Controllare l’etichetta con l’indicazione del voltaggio elettrico sul telaio ed assi-
curarsi che voltaggio e frequenza della presa di corrente vi corrispondano;
•Il server Freeway deve essere collegato ad una spina con messa a terra, e con tre
fili. Non usare un adattatore che consente di collegare un filo a tre fili in una presa
a due;
•Usare solo fili e prese multiple con taratura appropriata;
•Per assicurare un raffreddamento adeguato usare sempre il server Freeway con il
suo relativo coperchio. Non coprire o bloccare nessuna delle aperture del telaio di
Freeway. Non collocare l’unità vicino a fonti di calore;
•Non inserire oggetti nelle aperture situate sul telaio di Freeway, perchè così
facendo si rischia di provocare un corto circuito, che può generare un incendio o
una scossa elettrica;
•Non modificare in nessun modo l’unità Freeway. La Simpact, Inc. non è respons-
abile della conformità alle norme di nessun server Freeway per le comunicazioni
che sia stato modificato. L’alterazione in qualsiasi maniera del telaio di Freeway,

Safety Precautions
DC 900-1537B 19
che differisca dalle opzioni di installazione fornite dalla Simpact, può invalidare le
garanzie di sicurezza;
•Prima di togliere il coperchio o la base per effettuare qualsiasi manutenzione,
togliere sempre la spina di Freeway.
