maintenance of this product. Only qualified and authorized service personnel should
carry out adjustment, maintenance or repairs to this product. No installation,
adjustment, maintenance or repairs should be performed by either the operator or
the user. Handling Energized Products
General Safety Practices
Do not touch or tamper with the power supply when the power cord is connected. Line
voltages may be present inside certain products even when the power switch (if installed)
is in the OFF position or a fuse is blown. For DC-powered products, although the voltages
levels are usually not hazardous, energy hazards may still exist.
Before working on equipment connected to power lines or telecommunication lines,
remove jewelry or any other metallic object that may come into contact with energized
parts.
Unless otherwise specified, all products are intended to be grounded during normal use.
Grounding is provided by connecting the mains plug to a wall socket with a protective
earth terminal. If an earth lug is provided on the product, it should be connected to the
protective earth at all times, by a wire with a diameter of 18 AWG or wider. Rack-
mounted equipment should be mounted only in earthed racks and cabinets.
Always make the ground connection first and disconnect it last. Do not connect
telecommunication cables to ungrounded equipment. Make sure that all other cables are
disconnected before disconnecting the ground.
Connection of AC Mains
Make sure that the electrical installation complies with local codes.
Always connect the AC plug to a wall socket with a protective ground.
The maximum permissible current capability of the branch distribution circuit that
supplies power to the product is 16A. The circuit breaker in the building installation
should have high breaking capacity and must operate at short-circuit current exceeding
35A.
Always connect the power cord first to the equipment and then to the wall socket. If a
power switch is provided in the equipment, set it to the OFF position. If the power cord
cannot be readily disconnected in case of emergency, make sure that a readily accessible
circuit breaker or emergency switch is installed in the building installation.
In cases when the power distribution system is IT type, the switch must disconnect both
poles simultaneously.
Connection of DC Mains
Unless otherwise specified in the manual, the DC input to the equipment is floating in
reference to the ground. Any single pole can be externally grounded.
Due to the high current capability of DC mains systems, care should be taken when
connecting the DC supply to avoid short-circuits and fire hazards.
DC units should be installed in a restricted access area, i.e. an area where access is
authorized only to qualified service and maintenance personnel.
Make sure that the DC supply is electrically isolated from any AC source and that the
installation complies with the local codes.
The maximum permissible current capability of the branch distribution circuit that
supplies power to the product is 16A. The circuit breaker in the building installation
should have high breaking capacity and must operate at short-circuit current exceeding
35A.

Before connecting the DC supply wires, ensure that power is removed from the DC
circuit. Locate the circuit breaker of the panel board that services the equipment and
switch it to the OFF position. When connecting the DC supply wires, first connect the
ground wire to the corresponding terminal, then the positive pole and last the negative
pole. Switch the circuit breaker back to the ON position.
A readily accessible disconnect device that is suitably rated and approved should be
incorporated in the building installation.
If the DC mains are floating, the switch must disconnect both poles simultaneously.
Connection of Data and Telecommunications
Cables
Data and telecommunication interfaces are classified according to their safety status.
The following table lists the status of several standard interfaces. If the status of a
given port differs from the standard one, a notice will be given in the manual.

SELV Safety Extra Low Voltage:
Ports which do not present a safety hazard.
Usually up to 30 VAC or 60 VDC.
xDSL (without feeding voltage),
Balanced E1, T1, Sub E1/T1 TNV-1 Telecommunication Network Voltage-1:
Ports whose normal operating voltage is within
the limits of SELV, on which overvoltages from
telecommunications networks are possible.
FXS (Foreign Exchange
Subscriber) TNV-2 Telecommunication Network Voltage-2:
Ports whose normal operating voltage exceeds
the limits of SELV (usually up to 120 VDC or
telephone ringing voltages), on which
overvoltages from telecommunication networks
are not possible. These ports are not permitted
to be directly connected to external telephone
and data lines.
FXO (Foreign Exchange Office),
xDSL (with feeding voltage),
U-Interface ISDN
TNV-3 Telecommunication Network Voltage-3:
Ports whose normal operating voltage exceeds
the limits of SELV (usually up to 120 VDC or
telephone ringing voltages), on which
overvoltages from telecommunication networks
are possible.
Always connect a given port to a port of the same safety status. If in doubt,
seek the assistance of a qualified safety engineer.
Always make sure that the equipment is grounded before connecting
telecommunication cables. Do not disconnect the ground connection before
disconnecting all telecommunications cables.
Some SELV and non-SELV circuits use the same connectors. Use caution when
connecting cables. Extra caution should be exercised during thunderstorms.

When using shielded or coaxial cables, verify that there is a good ground connection
at both ends. The earthing and bonding of the ground connections should comply
with the local codes.
The telecommunication wiring in the building may be damaged or present a fire
hazard in case of contact between exposed external wires and the AC power lines. In
order to reduce the risk, there are restrictions on the diameter of wires in the
telecom cables, between the equipment and the mating connectors.
To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger
telecommunication line cords.
Pour réduire les risques s’incendie, utiliser seulement des conducteurs de
télécommunications 26 AWG ou de section supérieure.
Some ports are suitable for connection to intra-building or non-exposed wiring or
cabling only. In such cases, a notice will be given in the installation instructions.
Do not attempt to tamper with any carrier-provided equipment or connection
hardware.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
The equipment is designed and approved to comply with the electromagnetic
regulations of major regulatory bodies. The following instructions may enhance the
performance of the equipment and will provide better protection against excessive
emission and better immunity against disturbances.
A good earth connection is essential. When installing the equipment in a rack, make
sure to remove all traces of paint from the mounting points. Use suitable lock-
washers and torque. If an external grounding lug is provided, connect it to the earth
bus using braided wire as short as possible.
The equipment is designed to comply with EMC requirements when connecting it with
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables. However, the use of shielded wires is always
recommended, especially for high-rate data. In some cases, when unshielded wires
are used, ferrite cores should be installed on certain cables. In such cases, special
instructions are provided in the manual.
Disconnect all wires which are not in permanent use, such as cables used for one-
time configuration.
The compliance of the equipment with the regulations for conducted emission on the
data lines is dependent on the cable quality. The emission is tested for UTP with 80
dB longitudinal conversion loss (LCL).
Unless otherwise specified or described in the manual, TNV-1 and TNV-3 ports
provide secondary protection against surges on the data lines. Primary protectors
should be provided in the building installation.
The equipment is designed to provide adequate protection against electro-static
discharge (ESD). However, it is good working practice to use caution when
connecting cables terminated with plastic connectors (without a grounded metal
