Firefly Safety Requirements

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

The following safety instructions apply to the

Visual Circuits Firefly:

1. Read and follow all warning notices and instructions marked on the

product or included in this manual. Opening or removing covers and/or

components may expose you to dangerous high voltage points or other

risks. Qualified personnel should perform all servicing.

2. The maximum ambient temperature for the Firefly is 114 degrees

Fahrenheit (45 degrees Celsius). Care should be given to allow sufficient

air circulation or space between units when Firefly is installed in a closed

or multi-unit rack assembly because the operating ambient temperature

of the rack environment must be greater than room ambient temperature.

3. Slots and openings in the cabinet (chassis) are provided for ventilation.

To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from

overheating, maintain a minimum of 1-inch (2.5-cm) clearance on the top

and sides.

4. Installation of the Firefly in a rack without sufficient airflow can be

unsafe.

5. If installed in a rack, the rack should safely support the combined weight

of all equipment it supports. A fully loaded Firefly weighs 4 pounds (1.5

kg).

6. The connections and equipment of the Firefly should be capable of

operating safely with the maximum power requirements of the Firefly. In

the event of a power overload, the supply circuits and supply wiring

should not become hazardous.

7. External power supply AC power inputs are intended to be used with the

three-wire grounding type plug (a plug that has a grounding pin). This is

a safety feature. Equipment grounding is vital to ensure safe operation.

Do not defeat the purpose of grounding type plugs by modifying the plug

or using an adapter.

8. If a three-wire grounding type power source is not available, consult a

qualified electrician to determine another method of grounding the

equipment.

9. Install only in restricted areas in accordance with Articles 110-16, 100-17

and 110-18 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

10. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord and do not locate the

product where persons will walk on or come in contact with the power

cord.

POWER AND GROUND REQUIREMENTS:

Determine that the cumulative power requirements of the Firefly

plus other equipment in the rack do not overload the supply circuits

and/or wiring.

CAUTION

If using a power strip or similar supply, make sure

the power requirements of the chassis, plus the

cumulative power draw of any other equipment in

the rack, do not overload the supply circuit.

WARNING

For safe operation, this equipment must be properly

grounded.

The chassis should be reliably earth grounded to the

rack equipment. This earth ground connection must be

maintained when supply connection is other than direct

connection to the branch circuit.

incorrect. If the battery fails, the unit must be sent back

to Visual Circuits for battery replacement.

WARNING

An improperly grounded power supply can result in

electrical shock.

The AC power cord provided with your system has a

grounded plug. Always use a grounded power cord with

a properly grounded wall outlet.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference.

2. This device must accept any interference that may cause undesired

operation.
