Safety measures

Please read the following warnings before you install the product. These safety
measures apply to all sensor models unless otherwise noted.
Failure to observe these safety warnings could result in serious physical injury.
Warnings:
•
Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power
source.
•
To remove all power from the M-8000 sensor, unplug all power cords,
including the redundant power cord.
•
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or
service this equipment.
•
Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove
jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up
when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld
the metal object to the terminals.
•
This equipment is intended to be grounded. Ensure that the host is
connected to earth ground during normal use.
•
Do not remove the outer shell of the sensor. Doing so will invalidate your
warranty.
•
Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and
rear covers are in place. Blank faceplates and cover panels prevent
exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis, contain
electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment, and
direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis.
