Safety Recommendations for Laser Products
Important: No user serviceable parts are included inside an AMX AutoPatch product; service should
only be done by qualified personnel.
Caution - Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Exercise caution when installing DGX products to avoid direct eye exposure to invisible laser radiation.
Follow the recommendations below whenever installing or working with DGX products.
 Be sure to apply the power only after all the fiber connections are made and no fiber ends are
exposed.
 Do not remove dust plugs from SC fiber connectors or the dust caps from the fiber cables until
establishing connections; avoid direct eye exposure.
 Make sure all cables, including fiber cables, are correctly connected and/or terminated.
 Before you unplug a fiber cable on an input board, disconnect the power on the DGX TX that
is connected to the input.
 Before you unplug a fiber cable on an output board, disconnect the switch for that output
connector.
Installation Procedure
A flow chart showing the installation sequence is in FIG. 9. The procedure, which follows, provides
general steps with references to detailed information found in later sections of the manual.
Caution: To prevent overheating and airflow restriction, avoid placing high heat producing
equipment directly above or below the enclosure. The system requires a minimum of one empty rack
unit above and below (three empty rack units are recommended). Verify that the openings on the top
and sides of the enclosure are not blocked and do not have restricted air flow.
Note: If desired, remove rubber feet from bottom of enclosure before rack installation.
To install and setup an Epica DGX 16 or 32:
Important: Installation of the Epica DGX 32 requires a minimum of two people; we recommend
using three people.
1. Select a position in the rack for the enclosure that is accessible and does not restrict airflow (see
Caution above).
2. Position the enclosure in the rack. Screw in the rack ear screws on each side.
