2.1 Safety Instructions

Failure to observe all Warnings and Cautions may result in personnel injury and/or equipment damage not covered by the warranty.

• Follow standard Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) procedures when handling this unit.
• Install suitable overvoltage protection to ensure that no overvoltage (such as that caused by a bolt of lightning) or overcurrent can reach the product. Otherwise, the person operating the product will be exposed to the danger of an electric shock.
• LBRX DIN rail module only: Select and apply the appropriate 24V D/C voltage according to the data sheet and documentation before connecting power.
• 19" units with internal power supply: The power supply is EMI filtered. The chassis is connected to earth ground in compliance with safety requirements. Always use 3-prong AC plug with earth ground to avoid possibility of electrical shock hazard to personnel.
• 19" units with internal power supply: Select and apply the appropriate 100...240AC voltage according to the data sheet and documentation before connecting power.
• The ground terminal of the device has to be permanently connected to a grounding point for save operation. Otherwise, the device could be damaged.
• Before you connect the L-Band Beacon Receiver to an L-Band distributor or LNB , please make sure that the unit to which you connect can handle 18V D/C voltage on its RF L-Band output. Some L-Band IF distribution equipment does not have D/C blocks included and the unit could be damaged. If you are not sure how the interfacing equipment will behave, switch off the LNB supply voltage in the Setup menu or at the DIP switches located at the rear panel of the 19" housing or at the front panel of the LBRX-81 before connecting any cable to the L-Band input of the beacon receiver.
• The L-Band Beacon Receiver can be damaged if the total RF input power is higher than +10dBm specified maximum value. Do not connect the RF input of the L-band Beacon Receiver to interfaces where the total output power is higher than the specified value of the data sheet or indicated on the Receiver.
• In case of a failure do not open the L-Band Beacon Receiver, you will loose warranty, call SatService GmbH for an RMA number.
• Observe normal safety precautions when operating, servicing, and troubleshooting this equipment.
• Take standard safety precautions with hand and/or power tools.
• When connecting the receiver's fault relay circuits, observe the maximum ratings: 48V D/C, 100mA. The fault circuits are Photo MOS semiconductor relays which will immediately damaged when connected to higher voltages than specified.
