Important safety information
Operating Manual HDIP1 - Version 10-2019A
Important safety information
To avoid any potential risks to the greatest extent possible, you
must adhere to the following safety information:
ATTENTION: Failure to observe this safety
information may result in personal injury due to electrical
and thermal dangers!
Proper use
Only use the device at the approved operating sites and in the
ambientconditionsallowed(asdescribedinthefollowing),and
only for the purpose described in the section “Proper use”.
Before starting operation of the device
NOTE: Read this operating manual attentively! It contains
important information about installation, ambient conditions
and maintenance of the device. Keep this operating manual
for future use and for handover in the event of a change of
owner or operator. A PDF version of this manual is available
to download on the ASTRO website (there may be a more
recent version).
Check the packaging and the device for transport damage
immediately. Do not start operation of a device that has been
damaged.
Transporting the device by the power cable may damage the
mains cable or the strain relief, and is therefore not permitted.
Installation and operation
The device may only be installed and operated by qualified
persons (in accordance with EN 60065) or by persons who
have been instructed by qualified persons. Maintenance work
may only be carried out by qualified service personnel.
An installation site must be provided that prevents children
from playing with the device and its connections.
The electrical connection conditions must correspond to the
specifications on the device type plate.

Important safety information
Operating Manual HDIP 1 - Version 10-2019APage 8
To avoid damage due to overheating, the device may only be
installed on vertical surfaces. The connection for the power
supply unit must point to the right. The installation basis should
be level and non-flammable. Operating position: Device
vertical, with HF sockets at the bottom and external DC power
supply connection on the right.
The permitted ambient temperatures specified in the technical
data must be complied with. If the device overheats, the insu-
lation used to isolate the mains voltage may be damaged.
The device and its cable may only be operated away from
radiant heat and other sources of heat.
To avoid trapped heat, ensure there is good ventilation on all
sides (minimum interval of 20 cm to other objects). Installing
thedevicein recesses or covering the installationlocation, e.g.
with curtains, is not permitted. Ventilation openings may not be
covered.
If the device is installed in a cabinet, ensure adequate air
convection is possible to avoid exceeding the maximum
permitted ambient temperature.
Do not place any objects on the device or on the external
power supply unit.
The subscriber network must be earthed in accordance with
EN 60728-11, and must remain earthed even when the device
is removed.
Thedevice and the power supplyunit do not provide protection
against water and may therefore only be operated and
connected in dry rooms. The device and the external power
supplyunitmustnot beexposedtosplashingordrippingwater,
condensation or similar effects of water, as this may impair the
isolation from the mains voltage.
The mains plug of the external power supply unit is used as a
mains voltage disconnection unit in the event of servicing and
danger, and must therefore be accessible and usable at any
time. The external power supply unit is operational when
connected to the mains power. If the power supply unit is also
connected to the DC socket of the device, the device is also in
operation.
The device may only be powered by the supplied external
power supply unit. The supplied external power supply unit
may only be used to power the device supplied with the
external power supply unit.

All adhere to all applicable national safety regulations and
standards.
Excess mechanical loads (e.g. falling, impacts, vibrations)
may damage the insulation used to provide protection from
mains voltage.
High excess currents (lightning strike, surges in the power
utility grid) may damage the insulation used to provide protec-
tion from mains voltage.
If there is no information about intended use (e.g. operating
site, ambient conditions), or the operating manual does not
include the corresponding information, then you must consult
the manufacturer of this device to ensure that the device may
be installed. If you do not receive any information on this from
the manufacturer, do not start operating the device.
The device may only be operated in rooms in which the
permissible ambient temperature can be maintained should
climatic conditions vary (e.g. due to sunlight).
Do not install the device and external power supply unit in loca-
tions with excessive dust formation, as this may impair the
isolation from the mains voltage.
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
In order to avoid malfunctions from occurring when operating radio
and telecommunications equipment, as well as other operating
units or broadcasting services, the following points must be
observed:
Beforeinstallation, the devicemustbecheckedfor mechanical
damage. Damaged or bent covers or housings may not be
used.
During operation, the device must always be covered by the
components provided for this purpose. Operation with an
opened cover is not permitted.
The braided line or the contact springs may not be damaged
or removed.

Maintenance
The operating display only shows whether the DC current,
which supplies the device components, has been discon-
nected. However, operating displays (on the power supply unit
or the device) that are not lit up in no way indicate that the
device is completely disconnected from the mains voltage.
There may still be voltages in the external power supply unit
that are dangerous to touch. Even after disconnection from the
mains, there may still be voltages in the external power supply
unitthat remain dangeroustotouchforseveralminutes.Donot
open the case of the device or the external power supply unit.
Read carefully: EN 60728-11 – Part 1, Safety requirements /
No service tasks during electrical storms!
Disconnect the mains plug before cleaning the device!
Repair
Repairs may only be performed by the manufacturer. Improp-
erly performed repairs may result in considerable dangers for
the user.
If malfunctions occur, the device must be disconnected from
the mains and authorised experts must be consulted. The
device may need to be sent to the manufacturer.

Starting operation
Operating Manual HDIP 1 - Version 10-2019APage 14
Starting operation
To start operation of the HDIP 1, you must connect the device to the
mains using the supplied power supply unit. You do so like this:
Insert the plug of the power supply unit into the power supply
socket of the device [6] (see left).
Connect the mains plug of the powersupply unit to the mains.
If the operating status lamp [5] (see left, below) is glows continu-
ously the unit is ready for operation.
ATTENTION: If the operating status light flashes or does
not light up, it may be that
- The power supply unit is defective
- The device is defective, or
- An inadmissible operation is present (e.g. operating error,
wrong power supply unit).
(See “Maintenance and repair” section)
NOTE: The use of another power supply unit with a
different output voltage or polarity can lead to the destruction
of the device as well as to malfunctions and voids the warranty!
