Potentials applied to any connection of the FOX 2 may ap-
pear on other FOX 2 connections. For example, a potential
applied to the alligator clips may appear on the RJ-45 jack
and the Wireless Interface plug. This could pose a shock
hazard to the user, if for example, a LAN cable with 120VAC
on it is connected to the FOX 2. The 120VAC may appear on
the alligator clips, and shock the user.
4.9
The FOX 2 is designed to tolerate accidental application of
120VAC across its alligator clips, across the Wireless Inter-
face plug, and across its RJ-45 jack. However, there is no
protection circuitry to protect against the application of
120VAC between the different connections. For example, a
120VAC connection between the Wireless Interface plug and
the alligator clips is not protected. Product damage and user
injury may result if 120VAC is applied in this manner.
4.10
The 8 pins of the RJ-45 jack are separated into 2 groups of 4
pins. The 4 pins are shorted together in each group. The
FOX 2 applies its Tracer Tone across these groups. The FOX
2 is protected against the application of 120VAC across these
groups. If 120VAC is applied to the RJ-45 jack in a manner
that causes the voltage to be applied to the pins within one
of the groups, the 120VAC will “see” a dead short. This may
result in damage to the product or injury to the user.
