Precautions
[Power]
Caution
Operate unit only at the specified supply voltage.
Disconnect the power cord via the power plug only. Do not pull on the cable portion.
Stop
Do not place or drop heavy or sharp-edged objects on the power cord. A damaged cord
can cause fire or electrical shock hazards. Regularly check the power cord for excessive
wear or damage to avoid possible fire / electrical hazards.
Caution
Ensure the power cord is firmly plugged into the AC outlet.
[Grounding]
Caution
Ensure the unit is properly grounded at all times to prevent electrical shock.
Hazard
Do not ground the unit to gas lines, units, or fixtures of an explosive or dangerous
nature.
[Operation]
Hazard
Do not operate the unit under hazardous or potentially explosive atmospheric
conditions. Doing so could result in fire, explosion, or other hazardous results.
Hazard
Do not allow liquids, metal pieces, or other foreign materials to enter the unit. Doing so
could result in fire, other hazards, or a unit malfunction.
If a foreign material does enter the unit, turn the power off and immediately disconnect
the power cord. Remove the material and contact an authorized service representative if
damage has occurred.
[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.

3
[Circuitry Access]
Do not remove covers, panels, casing, or access the circuitry with power applied to the
unit. Turn the power off and disconnect the power cord prior to removal. Internal
servicing / adjustment of unit should only be performed by qualified personnel.
Stop
Do not touch any parts / circuitry with a high heat factor.
Capacitors can retain enough electric charge to cause mild to serious shock, even after
the power has been disconnected. Capacitors associated with the power supply are
especially hazardous.
Hazard
Unit should not be operated or stored with cover, panels, and / or casing removed.
Operating the unit with circuitry exposed could result in electric shock / fire hazards or a
unit malfunction.
[Potential Hazards]
Caution
If 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.
If problems similar to the above occur, contact an authorized service representative
before attempting to operate the unit again.
[Rack Mount Brackets, Ground Terminal, and Rubber Feet]
Caution
To rack-mount or ground the unit, or to install rubber feet, do not use screws or
materials other than those supplied. Doing so may cause damage to the internal
circuits or components of the unit. If you remove the rubber feet that are attached to
the unit, do not reinsert the screws that secure the rubber feet.
[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. Since the service life
of the consumables varies 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.

4. USF-1053DDA Input and Output via Internal Bus
Input
USF-1053DDA modules can send and receive one SDI input channel via internal bus on the USF
frame. To configure two USF-1053DDA modules and feed an input from another USF-1053DDA,
install module pairs according to the figure shown above (e.g., into Slot 1 and Slot 2.). If paired with
another type of USF module, for instance a USF-1043FS, the USF-1043FS can be installed in any
slot, from Slots 1 to 4. The same applies for Slots 5 to 8 and Slots 9 to 12. (Refer to Sec.4-1. “Input
Choice Example Using the Internal Bus.”)
Output
USF-1053DDA modules can distribute another input channel via internal bus according to the
drawing shown as above. Available slots for output destination will differ according to the slot
number in which the USF-1053DDA is installed. (Refer to Sec. 4-2. “Distribution Output Example
Using Internal Bus”)
4-1. Input Choice Example Using the Internal Bus
This section describes an example of how to route the Slot 4 input to Slot 1 output when
USF-1053DDA is installed in Slot 1 and USF-1043FS is installed in Slot 4.

Status parameters of USF-1053DDA canbe displayed on theWebdisplay if the moduleis installed
in a USF frame. SNMP monitoring is also available. Refer to the USF-212S Operation Manual for
details on displaying the Web GUI window.
NOTE
USF-1053DDA does not support simultaneous Web GUI access from multiple PCs.
To simultaneously monitor a USF-1053DDA from multiple PCs, use the SNMP
function.
