point of earthing of the DC system. The DC system shall not be earthed elsewhere.
The DC supply source shall be located within the same premises as this
equipment.
Make sure you have an earth ground connection that is free of any disconnecting
device, such as a power switch or fuse, between the DC source and the earth
ground connector. A disconnecting device could result in the ground being
disconnected and the potential of injury from electrical shock.
System Overheating

before servicing equipment.
Data Corruption
If power to the unit is removed while a firmware update is in progress to the product's flash
memory, the changes will not be saved or the flash memory may be corrupted. In such
case, the product is likely to remain in a non-operable state and will require reconditioning
by qualified repair services.
System Expansion
System Overload
To avoid an overload of the system, check the total power consumption of all components
installed. Make sure that the individual output current of any source stays within its
acceptable limits (see the technical specification of the respective source or component).
