EMC AND SAFETY
EMC
The RCU100 and RCU200 redundancy control units have been designed to comply with the following
standards;
Emissions
:
EN 55022 Class B; Limits and methods of measurement of radio interference characteristics
of Information Technology Equipment.
Immunity
:
EN 50082 Part 1; Generic immunity standard, part 1: Domestic, commercial and light
industrial environment.
The equipment must be operated with its lid on at all times. If it is necessary to remove the lid for routine
servicing or fault finding then it is essential that the lid is fitted back correctly before normal operation.
For the Alarm and Remote Control data interfaces all 'D' type connectors must have grounding fingers on the
plug shell to guarantee continuous shielding. The back-shells must comply with the requirements of VDE 0871
and FCC 20708, providing at least 40 dB of attenuation from 30 MHz to 1 GHz.
Connecting cables must be of the shielded
Operation of the equipment in a non standard manner will invalidate compliancy to these standards.
Safety
To ensure safety of operator the RCU100 and RCU200 redundancy control units have been designed to comply
with the following safety standard;
EN 60950
Safety of information technology equipment, including electrical business machines.
Before operation the user must ensure that the installation complies with the information given.
The equipment is designed to operate in a static 19 inch rack system conforming to IEC 297-2. Operation of the
equipment in transportable vehicles equipped with the means of providing a stable environment is permissible.
Operation of the equipment on board vehicles, ships or aircraft without means of environmental conditioning
will invalidate the safety compliancy; please contact the factory for further advice. Operation of the equipment in
an environment other than that stated in the specifications will also invalidate the safety compliancy. The
equipment must not be operated above 2000 metre altitude, extremes of temperature; excessive dust, moisture or
vibration; flammable gases; corrosive or explosive atmospheres.
