Getting Started
This section describes general safety measures which you must adhere to when
setting up and operating ES4408.1 Load Chassis.
Before you start the set-up procedure, read the following sections carefully, pay-
ing particular attention to all notes and warnings.
2.1
General Safety Instructions for Operating ES4408.1 Load Chassis
Before you launch the ES4408.1 Load Chassis, please read this section carefully.
2.1.1
Installation and Positioning in 19" Rack
When choosing a place to set-up the ES4408.1 Load Chassis, please take the
following into consideration:
• Only operate the ES4408.1 Load Chassis if it has been integrated in a 19"
rack or in the ETAS casing specially designed for this purpose (ES4015.2
Housing 9U, F-00K-107-884). During operation, particularly heed the
safety instructions on "Ventilation" on page 15.
• Also make sure that there are no heat sources in the vicinity, e.g. radiators
or other heat-producing devices.
• The ES4408.1 Load Chassis and its components are not waterproof. Avoid
contact with water and any other liquids.
• Lay cables so that nobody can step on them or trip over them and make
sure that they cannot be jammed or caught up in any other way.
2.1.2
Ventilation
When the ES4408.1 Load Chassis is being operated in a 19" rack, make sure you
observe the following points:
Never block the cooling vents – these are absolutely necessary to ensure suffi-
cient ventilation inside the housing. Make sure there is a space of at least 15 cm
between the ES4408.1 Load Chassis and walls or any other objects.
2.1.3
Connecting Cables
When creating wiring harnesses (e.g. when connecting the ECU and external
loads) only use permissible cables (UL-certified).
2.1.4
Ground Connection/Protective Contact
The ground connection of the overall system is ensured via the protective earth
conductor of the power cable. Avoid electric shocks when touching housing
parts by ensuring that the mains socket used has correctly connected protective
contacts.
2.1.5
Cleaning
Before cleaning the housing parts, remove the power cable. Only clean the
device with a damp cloth. Never use detergents or solvents.
Note
During a thunderstorm, disconnect the ES4408.1 Load Chassis from the power
supply or install corresponding safety devices.
