AC Power Electrical Safety Guidelines

Caution: For routers with AC power supplies, an external surge protective device (SPD) must be used at the AC power source.

The following electrical safety guidelines apply to AC-powered routers:

• AC-powered routers are shipped with a three-wire electrical cord with a grounding-type plug that fits only a grounding-type power outlet. Do not circumvent this safety feature. Equipment grounding should comply with local and national electrical codes.
• You must provide an external Listed circuit breaker rated minimum 15 A in the building installation.
• The power cord serves as the main disconnecting device. The socket outlet must be near the router and be easily accessible.
• The cores in the mains lead are colored in accordance with the following code (within the United States):
  • Green and yellow—Earth
  • Blue—Neutral
  • Brown—Live
• When a router is equipped with two AC power supplies, both power cords (one for each power supply) must be unplugged to completely disconnect power to the router.
• Note the following warnings printed on the AC power supply faceplate:
  • To completely de-energize the system disconnect maximum of 2 power cordsets.
  • Apparaten skall anslutas till jordat uttag när den ansluts till ett nätverk. [Swedish]
