Wiring Requirements
The following common safety precautions should be observed before installing any electronic device:
•
Strive to use separate, non-intersecting paths to route power and networking wires. If power
wiring and device wiring paths must cross make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection
point.
•
Keep the wires separated according to interface. The rule of thumb is that wiring that shares
similar electrical characteristics may be bundled together.
•
Do not bundle input wiring with output wiring. Keep them separate.
•
When necessary, it is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system.
ATTENTION
•
Do not run signal or communication wiring and power wiring in the same conduit. To avoid
interference, wires with different signal characteristics (i.e., different interfaces) should be routed
separately.
•
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your device.
•
Verify the maximum possible current for each wire gauge, especially for the power cords.
Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire gauge.
•
If the current goes above the maximum ratings (80 W), the wiring could overheat, causing
serious damage to your equipment.
•
Be careful when handling the unit. When the unit is plugged in, the internal components generate a
lot of heat which may leave the outer casing too hot to touch.
