18 V7768/V7769 Hardware Reference Manual
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of
the operation, service and repair of this product. Failure to comply with these
precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety
standards of design, manufacture and intended use of this product.
GE assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with these
requirements.
To minimize shock hazard, the chassis and system cabinet must be connected to
an electrical ground. A three-conductor AC power cable should be used. The
power cable must either be plugged into an approved three-contact electrical
outlet or used with a three-contact to two-contact adapter with the grounding
wire (green) firmly connected to an electrical ground (safety ground) at the power
outlet.
Do not operate the system in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation
of any electrical system in such an environment constitutes a definite safety
hazard.
Operating personnel must not remove product covers. Component replacement
and internal adjustments must be made by qualified maintenance personnel. Do
not replace components with power cable connected. Under certain conditions,
dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid
injuries, always disconnect power and discharge circuits before touching them.
Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person capable of
rendering first aid and resuscitation is present.
Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute
parts or perform any unauthorized modification to the product. Return the
product to GE for service and repair to ensure that safety features are maintained.
Warnings, such as the example below, precede only potentially dangerous
procedures throughout this manual. Instructions contained in the warnings must
be followed.
WARNING
Dangerous voltages, capable of causing death, are present in this system.
Use extreme caution when handling, testing and adjusting.
