optimail Installation Guide
Safety tips
Please observe the following tips when installing and commissioning for your own
safety:
• Install and commission the optimail according to the instructions in this guide.
• Check that the machine is complete and undamaged. Do not start operating the
optimail if parts are damaged or missing. Please contact the Francotyp-Postalia
Service.
• Use only the power and modem cables provided or approved by Francotyp-
Postalia. Make sure that cables are not damaged.
• When you move the optimail from a cold environment (i.e. below 50°F / 10°C):
Wait at least 24 hours before connecting the optimail. The optimail requires this
period to adapt to the ambient conditions.
• Only operate the optimail on a grounded single-phase power socket that conforms
to the power requirements indicated on the serial number plate.
• Make sure the socket for connecting the optimail is close by and easily accessible
at all times.
• Do not remove any parts of the housing.
• Never cover the ventilation slots in the housing.
• We recommend to use only approved FP equipment and FP original parts.
The manufacturer FP has established reliability, safety and applicability.
The manufacturer cannot assess the reliability, safety and applicability for products
not approved by FP, and therefore not vouch for such products.
• If you are using an external Francotyp-Postalia communication device
(GSM Modem or Universal Link Box) for optimail: carefully read the product
information that came with the GSM Modem / the Universal Link Box.
This Installation Guide exclusively describes the installation and commissioning
of the optimail postage meter. Please read the Operator Manual for further
information about optimail.
