Safety Considerations (FAC2100)
Safety Considerations
Before performing maintenance on the FAC-2100 controller, be sure to disconnect all power sources (including main power and power signals from analog, digital, communications, and relay connections).
While operating, the FAC-2100 unit must have its case connected to a safety ground. Touching an ungrounded case may result in an electrical shock. Also, be aware that instrumentation connected to AC or DC power sources may still have power even though the unit is not on.
This unit, depending on its configuration, contains up to four fuses. Remove all power sources before inspecting or changing the fuses.
Ensure all environmental, mechanical, and electrical limits are not exceeded during operation, storage, and transportation of the controller. Failure to do so may result in damage or reduced lifetime of the device.
This device should be installed and serviced by qualified personnel only. Always remove all power sources before installing the device or opening any access panels on the FAC-2100. Failure to do so may result in serious injury and/or equipment damage.
Care should be taken when touching the controller's all-metal enclosure in high temperature environments. Be aware that the enclosure temperature may be in excess of 85 degrees Celsius.
The FAC-2100 is constructed with circuit boards containing static-sensitive electrical components. All maintenance on these boards must be performed using standard static-electricity practices. Always use a grounded wrist strap when manipulating these parts and only place the boards on static-free surfaces. Always use static-free bags if transporting these circuit boards (while not in the FAC-2100).
