Preparing for the Installation

Guidelines for Working on Equipment Powered by Electricity

• Locate the emergency power off switch for the room in which you are

working. Then, if an electrical accident occurs, you can act quickly to turn off

the power.

• Before installing, removing, or repairing an NCU or ACU, unplug the power

cord.

• Disconnect all power before working near power supplies.

• Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.

• Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit. Always check.

• Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors,

ungrounded extension cables, frayed power cords, and missing safety

grounds.

In the Event of an Electrical Accident

• Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.

• Turn off power to the system.

• If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, assess the

condition of the victim and then call for help.

• Determine if the victim needs rescue breathing or external cardiac

compressions, then take appropriate action.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical

circuitry. It occurs when electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled

and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Always follow ESD

prevention procedures when removing and replacing cards.
