Chapter 2 Installation and Setup Installation and Operation Manual
2-2 Introduction FCD-E1LC Ver. 1.0
For your protection and to prevent possible damage to equipment when a fault
condition, e.g., a lightning stroke or contact with high-voltage power lines, occurs
on the cables connected to the equipment, the FCD-E1LC unit must be properly
grounded at any time. Any interruption of the protective (grounding) connection
inside or outside the equipment, or the disconnection of the protective ground
terminal can make this equipment dangerous. Intentional interruption is
prohibited.
Before installing the product, review Handling Energized Products at the
beginning of the manual.
Before switching on this equipment and before connecting any other cable, the
protective ground terminal of the FCD-E1LC must be connected to a protective
ground. The grounding connection is made through the power cable. Therefore,
the grounding arrangements depend on the equipment power supply source:
• AC-powered units: the power cable must always be inserted in a socket
outlet provided with a protective ground contact, and the protective action
must not be negated by use of an extension cord (power cable) without a
protective conductor (grounding).
• DC-powered units: the power cable is connected to the FCD-E1LC power
connector through an AC/DC Adapter (AD) available from RAD. Make sure to
connect ground to the AD grounding terminal. The protective action must not
be negated by use of an extension cord (power cable) without a protective
conductor (grounding).
Whenever FCD-E1LC units are installed in a rack, make sure that the rack is
properly grounded and connected to a reliable, low-resistance grounding system.
Dangerous voltages may be present on the cables connected to the FCD-E1LC.
• Never connect cables to an FCD-E1LC unit if it is not properly installed and
grounded.
• Disconnect all the cables connected to the connectors of the FCD-E1LC before
disconnecting the FCD-E1LC power cable.
The FCD-E1LC does not have a power on/off switch; therefore it will start
operating as soon as it is connected to power.
FCD-E1LC contains components sensitive to ESD. To prevent ESD damage, do not
touch the internal components or connectors.
If you are not using a grounded wrist strap, before touching or performing any
internal settings on the FCD-E1LC, it is recommended to discharge the
electrostatic charge of your body by touching the frame of a grounded
equipment unit.
