Safety Requirements

This section describes the requirements your site must meet for safe installation and operation of the
system.

Site Safety Requirements

For your protection, please read these safety instructions completely before operating the equipment.
● Look carefully for potential hazards in your work area: moist floors, ungrounded power cables, frayed
power cords, missing safety grounds and so forth.
● Locate the main circuit breaker within the room.
● Locate the emergency power OFF switch within the room.
● Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit.
● Use only the power cord supplied with the system.
● The power cord should only be connected to a power outlet that has a protective ground contact.
● Ensure that the power cord is easily accessible from the back of the system at all times.
● Place the equipment in a well-ventilated area where the vents are free from obstruction.
● Do not place heavy objects directly on top of the RMX 2000 unit.
● Do not use liquids around your equipment.

Rack Mount Safety Precautions

The following precautions should be followed with regards to rack mount safety:
● Keep the area around the RMX 2000 clean and free of clutter.
● Decide on a suitable location for the equipment rack that will hold the RMX 2000 unit. It should be
situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and
electromagnetic fields are generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet.

Installation Precautions

When handling electronic components, standard anti-static precautions must be observed:
• Wear a grounding strap
• Handle cards by their edges only and do not touch their components or connector pins
• Keep components in anti-static bags, when not installed in the RMX 2000
The following precautions should be followed with regards to installation of the RMX 2000:
● Use a regulating uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to protect the RMX 2000 from power surges
and voltage spikes, to keep your MCU operating in case of a power failure.
● Place the RMX 2000 on a hard, flat surface such as a desktop or mount it on 19" rack.
● The airflow of the RMX 2000 is from right to left. Be sure that the areas in the left and right side of the
system are clear for proper ventilation.
● Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor
● with the full weight of the rack resting on them.
