ABOUT THIS MANUAL

This manual describes and provides operating instructions for the LGX-Compatible (LSX) 288-
Position Termination With Splicing panel, for the sake of brevity also called the “LSX-288

 

termination with splicing panel.”

ADMONISHMENTS

Important safety admonishments are used throughout this manual to warn of possible hazards to

 

persons or equipment. An admonishment identifies a possible hazard and then explains what 
may happen if the hazard is not avoided. The admonishments — in the form of Dangers, 
Warnings, and Cautions — must be followed at all times. These warnings are flagged by use of 
the triangular alert icon (seen below) and are listed in descending order of severity of injury or 
damage and likelihood of occurrence.

Danger: Danger is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will cause severe personal 
injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.

Warning: Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that can cause severe personal 
injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.

Caution:  Caution is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will or can cause minor 
personal injury or property damage if the hazard is not avoided.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Warning:  Wet conditions increase the potential for receiving an electrical shock when

 

installing or using electrically-powered equipment. To prevent electrical shock, never install or 
use electrical equipment in a wet location or during a lightning storm. 

Warning:  Before digging, check with all local utilities for the presence of buried cables or 
pipes. Contact with underground cables or pipes, especially electric power cables and gas 
service lines, could interrupt local utility service and cause serious personal injury and

 

extensive property damage. 

Danger: Use adequate lifting equipment when moving or installing the cabinet. Verify that the 
maximum lift weight rating of the equipment is sufficient to handle the weight of the cabinet. 

Danger: Do not stand under a cabinet as it is being hoisted into position for mounting. A failure 
of the lifting equipment or apparatus could result in serious personal injury.
