Important Safety Information

xviii iSTAR eX Installation and Configuration Guide
For CE installations, you must have a readily accessible disconnect device
incorporated in the fixed power wiring to iSTAR eX.
Operating problems are often caused by failure to ground system components
properly. Be sure to follow all instructions for grounding described in this
manual.
Changes to iSTAR eX not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void your authority to operate the equipment.
The following precautions apply to all procedures described in this manual.
1. To meet life safety requirements, a fail-safe mechanism override must be
installed at each card reader exit to allow people to leave the secure area
in case of electromechanical device failure.
2. The iSTAR eX device described in this manual could cause electrical
shock. Installation and maintenance should be performed only by
qualified personnel. Make sure power is removed before the system is
installed.
3. The iSTAR eX and printed circuit boards in the reader devices are
susceptible to damage by static electricity. When handling these devices:
• Make sure your work area is safeguarded
• Transport all components in static-shielded containers
