Safety Instructions
14 ACS 600 MultiDrive
Fibre Optic Cables
WARNING! Handle the fibre optic cables with care (especially when
joining the shipping splits). When unplugging optic cables, always grab
the connector, not the cable itself. Do not touch the ends of the fibres
with bare hands as the fibre is extremely sensitive to dirt.
Cooling
WARNING! The cooling air flow and space requirements must be
fulfilled. Air flow from below (from a cable conduit) to the cabinet must
be prevented to ensure the degree of protection and fire protection.
