Chapter 3: Installation
3.1 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.
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, 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.
