1.1.2 Additional Warnings
WARNING!
On initial installation, ensure that all modules are fully seated into connectors before powering
on the unit.
WARNING!
Follow all your company’s policies and procedures regarding the installation of AC powered or
DC powered equipment. If there is a conflict between any procedure in this manual and your
company’s safety rules, then your company’s safety rules must take priority.
WARNING!
Individual double pole disconnects must be installed between the building or station battery
supply and the HPS/RFL GARD Pro system power supply(ies). This must be done for both the
main and back-up supply.
WARNING!
The power supplies used in this equipment utilize fuses on both input lines. Therefore, in AC
applications the neutral line is fused. When a fuse is blown on the neutral line the internal circuits
may be energized.
WARNING
!
Your GARD Pro terminal may be equipped with comms modules that have fiber optic emitter
heads. Fiber optic emitter heads use a laser light source that produces invisible radiation. Fiber
optic communication systems are inherently safe in normal operation because all radiation is
contained in the system. It is possible during maintenance to expose the radiation by removing
or breaking the fiber. Staring directly into the light beam may result in permanent eye damage
and/or blindness. Never look directly into the light beam and be careful not to shine the light
against any reflective surface.
The laser source is a class I laser product which complies with applicable FDA, OSHA and ANSI
standards.
