Workplace Conditions
Bear in mind the following recommendations:
(1) Excessive cold and heat should be avoided, as should humidity and dust. Direct exposure to sunlight should be
avoided as well as other heat sources. The device should not be placed amongst papers, magazines or other
elements that could hinder natural air circulation.
(2) The device should not be placed very close to strong electromagnetic fields such as speakers, engines, etc.
(3) Knocks and/or strong vibrations should be avoided during transport, operation and storage.
Power supply
The Atlas 250 communications device does not require special conditions as regards voltage stability or protection
against power malfunctions as it is already protected.
To avoid electric shocks, residual current circulation and other unwanted effects, also affecting data communications,
the following is recommended:
Warning
All interconnected communication devices should be plugged to THE SAME GROUNDED POWER
OUTLET, which should at the same time be of good quality (lower than 10 ohms).
Whether the workplace is provided with an uninterrupted power supply system (UPS), regulated supply
or it is independent from the rest (such as lighting, etc.); it is highly recommended that all data devices
should be connected to the same power source. This will avoid operating and premature aging prob-
lems of drivers and other components.
