Safety Recommendations and Warnings
IP-RN 8000 I&C Guide 53
Maintaining Safety With Electricity
Before working on a chassis or working near power supplies, unplug the power cords on an AC-powered
system. On a DC-powered system, disconnect the power at the circuit breakers. Follow these guidelines
whenworkingonequipmentpoweredbyelectricity:
• Locate the emergency power-off switch for the area in which you are working. If an electrical accident
occurs, you can quickly turn off the power.
• Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist anywhere in your work space.
• Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit: always check the circuit.
• Carefully look for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors, ungrounded power
extension cords, or missing safety grounds.
• If an electrical accident occurs:
• Use caution. Do not let yourself become a victim.
• Disconnect power from the system.
• If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, assess the condition of the victim
then call for help.
Install the IP-RN 8000 following local, national, or international electrical codes:
• United States — National Fire Protection Association (NFPA70), United States National Electrical
Code.

Lightning Activity Warning
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
Jewelry Removal Warning
Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces,
and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns
or weld the metal object to the terminals.
Power Supply Warning
Do not touch the power supply when the power cord is connected. Line voltages are present within the
power supply even when the power switch is off and the power cord is connected.
