iPOINT – Hardware User Manual | 18.06.2020
Safety Instructions
The equipment can be installed in restricted areas.
The system described in this manual is for exclusive operation of trained employees. Only qualified personnel that
have knowledge of the potential dangers involved should perform the installation, settings, maintenance and repair
of the units used.
Operational Safety
The correct and safe use of these systems assumes that operating and service personnel follow the safety
measures described in the manual alongside the generally acceptable safety procedures.
If there is a possibility that safe operations cannot be guaranteed, the system must be switched off, secured against
accidental use and the service unit responsible immediately informed.
Safety Documents
The iPOINT was designed, tested and supplied in perfect condition, according to document IEC/EN 60950-1 Safety
Requirements.
Condensate / Change of Temperature
To avoid condensation in the system, the unit must be allowed to slowly adjust itself to warmer temperatures after
removal from cold and cool environments.
Do not open the Main housing
The Connection Chamber can be opened for required cabling needs, but there is no need to open the main
housing (crews from bottom side) in order to set the iPOINT unit. The unit does not have any internal setting
elements or displays.
Connections / Power Supply
The supply circuits must comply with the conditions set out for the SELV circuits (see EN 60950-1).
The signal circuits must comply with the conditions set out for the SELV circuits (see EN 60950-1).
Use shielded cables for the Ethernet/PoE & RS422 cables. This is the only way to achieve the prescribed EMC.
During maintenance damage could occur if printed circuit boards or cables are connected or disconnected whilst
the power supply is still on. Therefore, only work on the connection and the components when they are not live.
Spare Parts
We recommend that only personnel, original products, spare and replacement parts authorized by IDENTEC
SOLUTIONS be used for installation, service and repair. IDENTEC SOLUTIONS does not accept any responsibility
for materials used, work carried out or possible consequences from unauthorized third party vendors.
