CTP Safety Guidelines and Warnings

The recommended maximum ambient temperature is 40˚°C (104° F). For safe operation take into consideration the internal temperature within the rack.

Install equipment in the rack from the bottom upward. Doing this helps maintain the stability of the rack and reduces the chance of the rack tipping over.

Do not insert any metal object, such as a screwdriver, into an open slot or the backplane. Doing so can cause electric shock and serious burns.

For the larger CTP series devices, three people are required to install the device in a rack: two to lift the device into position and one to screw it to the rack.

Connect the device or rack to ground (earth), and ensure that a reliable grounding path is maintained in the rack.

Do not work on the device or connect or disconnect cables during lightning activity.

Be sure that circuit breakers for the power source are in the OFF position before attaching power cables.

Before servicing the device, turn off the power.

Remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches) before working on equipment that is connected to power lines. Metal objects heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or become welded to the terminals.
