Precautions
Important Safety Warnings
[Installation/Operation]
Do not install or operate the module under high temperature, high humidity, dusty,
or high-vibration conditions. Installing the unit in conditions other than those
specified may cause malfunction, fire, or electric shock hazards.
[Transportation]
Caution
Handle with care to avoid impact shock during transit, which may cause
malfunction. When you need to transport the unit, use the original or suitable
alternative packing material.
[Internal Setting Change]
Caution
Turn the power off and disconnect the power cord prior to changing internal settings.
Changing internal settings while the unit is powered on should only be attempted by
qualified personnel.
Stop
Do not touch any parts / circuitrywith a high heat factor. Doing so is hazardous and
may cause burns.
[Potential Hazards]
Caution
If the power does not turn on, or abnormal odors or noises are noticed coming from
the unit, immediately turn the power off and disconnect the power cord to avoid
potentially hazardous conditions. Immediately contact your supplier.
[Consumables]
Caution
Consumable items that are used in the unit must be periodically replaced. For
further details on which parts are consumables and when they should be replaced,
refer to the specifications at the end of the Operation Manual. The service life of
these items vary greatly depending on the environment in which they are used.
Such items should be replaced at an early date. For details on replacing
consumable items, contact your dealer.

1. Features Overview
1-1. Overview
The USF-1040VEA is an Analog Video Equalizing Distribution Amplifier that can distribute 1
analog video input signal to 4 output signals. The USF-1100VEA is an Analog Video Equalizing
Distribution Amplifier that can distribute 1 analog video input signal to 10 output signals. It
supports composite and HD/SD analog component signals.
Installing a USF-VEAIF network interface into an USF-1040VEA/1100VEA allows web-based
monitoring and control of the USF-1040VEA/1100VEA over the network. It also allows SNMP
monitoring.
1-2. Features
Installs into USF frames
Video Gain adjustment
Input cable compensation (up to 300 m when using 5C-2V equivalent cables)
Input signal detecion
Input signal loop through
Video signal couplingclamp setting
Analog video signal distribution, as well as tri-level sync signal distribution
USF-VEAIF enables monitoring and setting via PC web browser through USF frame.

6. USF-VEAIF (Option)
When an optional USF-VEAIF is installed into a USF-1040VEA or 1100VEA module and the
module is installed into the USF-212S frame, the state of the USF-1040VEA or 1100VEA module
can be displayed on the web page.
If USF-VEAIF is purchased later, set S1-1 according to the module type.

6-1. Installing USF-VEAIF (Option)
When an optional USF-VEAIF is separately purchased, install the USF-VEAIF to a
USF-1040VEA or 1100VEA, then the module into a USF frame.
1) Change the USF-VEAIF S1-1 setting depending on the module type to install. (Refer to the
table above.)
2) Install the USF-VEAIF on the front module of USF-1040VEA or 1100VEA confirming the
position of the connector. Align the red squared connector portion and click.
3) Fasten the USF-VEAIF with the 4 supplied screws from the rear. (Circled in red, above.)
* If a USF-VEAIF is already installed on a USF-1040VEA or 1100VEA, this process is not
necessary.
NOTE
When a USF-VEAIF is installed, USF-1040VEA or USF-1100VEA can be used only
with a USF-212S frame and not with a USF-212 frame.

7. Web GUI
USF-1040VEA or 1100VEA operation can be monitored and network settings can be changed via
web browser/PC-network connection by applying a USF-VEAIF to a USF-1040VEA or 1100VEA
module installed in a USF-212S. SNMP monitoring is also available. Refer to the USF-212S
operation for details on displaying web pages.
NOTE
The USF-1040VEA or 1100VEA does not support simultaneousWeb GUI access from
multiple PCs. SNMP Manager should be used to monitor USF-1040VEA or 1100VEA
from multiple PCs.
7-1. Web Page
The USF-1040VEA or 1100VEA web page allows you to show the module status and settings.
As factory default, Cable Compensation and Video Gain cannot be adjusted from the Web
GUI. To adjust them from the Web GUI, change internal switches (SW3 and SW4) to REMOTE
on the USF-1040VEA/1100VEA front module.
Refer to Sec. 4. “Front Module DIP Switch Settings” for LOCAL/REMOTE setting details.
