2.2. Safety Information Before installation:
Read this manual completely and gather all information available on the product. Make sure it is fully understood. Check that your application does not exceed the safe operating specifications for the product.
SAFETY DURING INSTALLATION The product must be installed and operated by qualified service personnel and installed into an apparatus cabinet or similar, where access is restricted to service personnel only.
Refer to chapter Compliance Information to see the required level of qualified service personnel according to safety standards.
Before energising and connecting communication cables to the product, ensure a protective earthing conductor is first connected to the protective earthing terminal (only valid for metallic housings). Westermo recommends a cross- sectional area of at least 4 mm2.
Upon removal of the product, disconnect the product from the power supply and all other communication ports before disconnecting the protective earthing conductor.
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE Do not open an energised product. Hazardous voltage may occur when connected to a power supply.
For RedFox models with a rated voltage above 48 VDC or 30 VAC: Apply the protective cap (delivered with the product) on the power cable.

RedFox 5528 Series

WARNING – PREVENT ACCESS TO HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE CABLE Apply the protective cap (delivered with the HV products) on the power cable, according to the illustrated steps below.

To prevent accidentally pulling out wires, make sure the power cable and the wires are firmly attached to the protective cap.

For screw connectors, make sure the screws are properly tightened, as well as routing the wires separately from other wires. For connectors with straps, fasten the cable as strain relief, as well as routing the wires separately.

PROTECTIVE FUSE It must be possible to disconnect manually from the power supply. Ensure compliance to national installation regulations. Replacing the internal fuse must only be performed by Westermo qualified personnel.
POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION There are safety regulations governing the power source that can be used in conjunction with the product. Refer to chapter Interface Specifications.
REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE To reduce the risk of fire, use only telecommunication line cords with a cable diameter of AWG 26 or larger. Regarding power cable dimensions, see chapter Interface Specifications.

RedFox 5528 Series

CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT Do not look directly into a fibre optical port or any connected fibre, although the product is designed to meet the Class 1 Laser regulations and complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11.

HANDLING OF SFP TRANSCEIVERS
SFP transceivers are supplied with plugs to avoid contamination inside the optical port. They are very sensitive to dust and dirt. If the fibre optic cable is disconnected from the product, a protective plug must be used on the transmitter/receiver. The protective plug must be kept on during transportation. The fibre optic cable must be handled the same way.

CORROSIVE GASES If the product is placed in a corrosive environment, it is important that all unused connector sockets are protected with a suitable plug, in order to avoid corrosion attacks on the gold plated connector pins.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) Prevent electrostatic discharge damage to internal electronic parts by discharging your body to a grounding point (e.g. use a wrist strap).
2.3. Care Recommendations Follow the care recommendations below to maintain full operation of the product and to fulfill the warranty obligations:
· Do not drop, knock or shake the product. Rough handling above the specification may cause damage to internal circuit boards.
· Use a dry or slightly water-damp cloth to clean the product. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents.
· Do not paint the product. Paint can clog the product and prevent proper operation.
If the product is used in a manner not according to specification, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
If the product is not working properly, contact the place of purchase, the nearest Westermo distributor office or Westermo technical support.

3.4.5. SFP Transceivers The product supports UL and IEC certified transceivers only. See Westermo’s modular transceivers datasheets 100 Mbit and 1 Gbit for supported SFP transceivers, which can be downloaded from the product support pages at www.westermo.com/support/productsupport.
Each SFP slot can hold one SFP transceiver. See “Transceiver User Guide 6100-0000″ for transceiver handling instructions, which also can be downloaded from the product support pages at www.westermo.com/support/product-support.
In the event of contamination, the optical connectors in the SFP transceivers should only be cleaned by the use of forced nitrogen and some kind of cleaning stick. Recommended cleaning fluids are methyl-, ethyl-, isopropyl- or isobutyl alcohol, hexane or naphtha.
HANDLING OF SFP TRANSCEIVERS SFP transceivers are supplied with plugs to avoid contamination inside the optical port. They are very sensitive to dust and dirt. If the fibre optic cable is disconnected from the product, a protective plug must be used on the transmitter/receiver. The protective plug must be kept on during transportation.

4.3. Cooling This product relies on convection cooling. To avoid obstruction of the airflow around the product, follow the spacing recommendations.
For mounting in 19″ apparatus cabinet without forced ventilation, a minimal spacing of 1U according to IEC 60297 or 45 mm (1.75″) above/below is recommended. With forced ventilation, no minimal spacing is required as long as the temperature of the rear cooling plates does not exceed +85ºC (+185ºF).
For wall mounting in an area without forced ventilation, a minimum spacing of 45 mm (1.75″) above/below and 10 mm (0.4”) left/right is recommended. For areas with forced ventilation, no minimal spacing is required as long as the temperature of the rear cooling plates does not exceed +85ºC (+185ºF).
