• Although all Minetec wireless devices meet established standards for exposure to RF energy, use
additional common-sense precautions to minimise potentially harmful RF radiation. For example,
increasing the distance from an RF source reduces the exposure.
• Unless qualified and authorised, never attempt to disassemble, repair or make any modifications
to the device. Disassembly, modification or any attempt at repair could cause damage to the
device and even bodily injury or property damage and will void the warranty.
• As some Minetec devices can get hot and/or are a source of RF radiation, do not store or carry
flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the same compartment as the device, its parts
or accessories.
• If any of the following events occur or are suspected, immediately have the device checked by
qualified and authorised personnel:
o A power cord or plug has damage (if applicable).
o A device has obvious signs of breakage or tampering.
o A device has physical damage (eg due to dropping or crushing).
o A device has water or any other liquid damage (eg due to submersion, high-pressure spray).
o A device does not work as expected after using these guidelines.
Cabling precautions
The installer must have the appropriate training, competency and accreditations for the site before
handling or installing Ethernet or optical fibres.
To prevent electrical shock and/or fire, consider the following:
• Route all cables so that people cannot step on them.
• Ensure cables are not under strain when connected.
• Ensure the cables have no kinks or sharp bends. The installer shall adhere to specified minimum
cable bending radius for DC, optic fibre and Ethernet cable.
• Protect lead wires from abrasion and chafing by using wire loom or conduit, and route away from
moving parts, hydrocarbons and high-temperatures areas.
• Protect all cabling using conduit.
• Secure using P-clamps and/or cable ties at suitable distances to minimise vibrational flexing and
maximise bend radii. The installer shall adhere to specified cabling support methods and cable
support spacing.
• Use cable glanding for structural penetrations (eg holes through sheet metal).
o Power/RS232 conduit is 16 mm diameter.
o Power only conduit is 13.3 mm diameter.
