Safety
To prevent injury and damage, read the following safety guidelines prior to operating the
device. The manufacturer assumes no liability for any and all damages arising from misuse or
noncompliance with these guidelines.
Electrical Hazards
Cleaning/Servicing: Power Off the PA501
■ Disconnect the PA501 from power before cleaning or servicing it.
Power Adapter
Contact an authorized service personnel for repairs to the power pack. In the event of a blown
fuse after replacing the fuse, contact an authorized service personnel to avoid electrical shock.
Use only Supplied Power Cables
RuggON power cables meet industrial requirements for low-temperature flexibility, UV resistance,
and oil resistance. Use only supplied power cables from RuggON.
If other power cables are used, the following may apply:
■ The operator is solely responsible for the resulting damage;
■ All RuggON warranties are void.
Environmental Hazards
Do not use the PA501 in locations near/with flammable gases or vapor. The
use of electrical equipment in explosive environments can be dangerous.
■ Turn off the device when near a gas station, fuel depot, chemical plant or a place where
blasting operations take place.
Environmental
Ambient Temperature
The PA501 operates on the basis of a fanless concept which internal waste heat is
released via the housing surface and requires fresh airflow in the environment.
■ Operating the PA501 with no fresh cooling air may cause overheating and damage to the
device.
■ The operating environment should not be enclosed to prevent the cool air being heated by
the heat waste from the device.
Connecting and Disconnecting External Devices
To prevent the considerable damage, the PA501 and the external device should be disconnected
from power when connecting/disconnecting excluding USB devices.
Only Use Authorized Accessories
Only use the supplied cables, power packs and other accessories that have been tested and
approved by RuggON. Contact your local distributor for further information.
