Power Source

The Castelle FaxPress models operate from specific AC power sources. Refer to Appendix C to find the right power source for your FaxPress model.

All FaxPress models operate from a single-phase power source. Operation from power sources where both current-carrying conductors are live with respect to ground (e.g. phase-to-phase on a 3-wire system) is not recommended.

Proper AC source grounding, and grounding circuit continuity are vital for safe operation

Use only the 3-wire, 3-terminal power cord provided for the FaxPress 3500, 5000, 7000 and 7500. Use the AC adapter provided for the FaxPress SBE and 2500.

Important Information for Canadian Customers

The Canadian “Industry Canada” (The Department of Communications) label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements. Industry Canada does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, make sure you are permitted to connect to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. You must install the equipment using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, you may also extend the company's inside wiring for single line individual service by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). You should be aware, however, that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

LOAD NUMBER: The Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the percentage of the total load to be connected to a telephone loop which is used by the device to prevent overloading. The termination on a loop may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the total of the Load Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 100.

CTR21 Declaration

Castelle FaxPress servers have been approved [Commission Decision 98/482/EC - CTR21] for pan-European terminal connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). However, due to differences between the individual PSTNs provided in different countries, the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional assurance of successful operation on every PSTN termination point. In the event of problems, you should contact your equipment supplier in the first instance.
