106 Revision 0.17
UL Compliance:
Complying with UL Regulations while operating the Blue Heat/Net:
The following Connect Tech products are UL listed:
BlueHeat/Net – two port units
BlueHeat/Net – four and eight port units with DB-9 connectors.
To meet UL compliance, the following instructions must be met when operating the
BlueHeat/Net.
1. If you are providing your own power source:
a. Your installation of interconnecting power connector shall:
i. Comply with local electrical code which is suitable for your country's
use.
ii. Be suitable for your expected operating temperature range
iii. Meets the current and voltage rating for your BlueHeat/Net
b. Your interconnecting power cable shall comply with the following:
i. Be suitable for your expected operating temperature range
ii. Meets the current and voltage rating for your BlueHeat/Net
iii. The length cannot exceed 3.05m (118.3”)
iv. Must be constructed of materials rated VW-1 or FT-1 or better.
v. Meet the requirements of the local electrical code which is suitable for
country’s use.
c. The units shall be powered by listed LPS or Class 2 power supply which is
suitable for your expected operating temperature range.
2. If the unit is to be installed in an operating environment with a temperature above 65 °C,
the unit should be installed in a Restricted Access Area. A Restricted Access Area may
be, but is not limited to; a cabinet, a room, or closet which requires a key or a special tool
to gain access.
3. If you are installing the BlueHeat/Net in a Rack Mount environment:
a. Elevated Operating Ambient: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,
the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than
the room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the
equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient operating
temperature of the Blue Heat/Net and its power supply.
b. Reduced Air Flow: Care should be taken to ensure that the installation of the
Blue Heat/Net into the rack mount enclosure does not restrict air flow to the
unit.
c. Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that
A hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
d. Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits
might have on over current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing
this concern.
e. Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be
maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other
than direct connections to the branch circuit (eg. use of power strips).
4. This device must not be connected to a LAN segment with outdoor wiring.
