Precautions
Important Safety Warnings
[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]
Hazard
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.

5
[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.

6
Upon Receipt
FA-10RU units and their accessories are fully inspected and adjusted prior to shipment. Check your
received items against the packing lists below. Check to ensure no damage has occurred during
shipment. If damage has occurred, or items are missing, inform your supplier immediately.

Installing the AC Cord Retention Clip
Secure the AC cord with the supplied ladder strap/retention clip assembly to prevent accidental
removal from the unit.
Installing the clip
1) Wrap the retention clip around the AC cord (with the anchor of the ladder strap toward the
unit.)
2) Insert the anchor into the hole next to the AC IN socket.
3) Lightly fasten the clip around the AC cord.
4) Plug in the power cord.
5) Slide the clip on the ladder strap toward the plug.
6) Fasten the clip tightly.
7) Gently pull on the AC cord to ensure it is secured.

4-2. Connecting FA-9600 Units
The FA-10RU is inoperative until an FA-9600 is connected.
There are two ways to connect to the FA-9600; one is in Unit ID Selection mode, which allows you
to connect an FA-9600 by selecting an ID from among 100 ID numbers, and the other is in IP
Address Selection mode, which allows you to connect an FA-9600 by specifying an IP address.
4-2-1. Connecting in Unit ID Selection Mode
To connect to an FA-9600 in Unit ID Selection Mode, the unit must be registered in the
FA-10RU. See Sec. 9-4. “Unit ID Assignment”for details on how to register FA-9600 units.
Connecting to FA-9600
1) Pressing the MU SEL button opens the UNIT ID MU SELECT menu.

2) Turn F1 and select a Unit ID number from Main Unit IDs 1 through 100 to specify the
FA-9600 to be connected. The IP address, TCP port number and unit name will be
displayed for the selected Main Unit ID.
3) Press the F3 UNITY button to establish a connection with the selected FA-9600.
The MU CONNECT STATE menu appears when connection is initiated.
To cancel the process, press the F4 UNITY (Cancel) button. Cancelling the connection
returns the settings to their last state before change.
4) The connection is successful, “Connected” will appear under State in the menu.

IMPORTANT
If Remote Unit of the Remote Control Unit Setting menu is set to Refuse in the FA-9600,
FA-10RU cannot control the FA-9600 remotely and shows a message “* MU refuses
FA-10RU commands” at the bottom of the CONNECT STATE menu.
To make the FA-9600 accept FA-10RU commands, change the Remote Unit setting to
Accept in the FA-9600. Refer to “Remote Control Unit Setting” in the FA-9600 Operation
Manual for more details.

4-3. Basic Operations
This section explains how to select menus and set parameters. Most of the menus can be
controlled by these basic operations. However, some menus work differently. See the descriptions
given for each menu for details.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the LOCK indicator on the front panel is turned off before starting an operation. If
the LOCK indicator is lit orange, all operations on the front panel except the LOCK button are
disabled. Press and hold the MU SEL/LOCK button to enable operation.
The description in Basic Operation starts based on an established connection. To establish a
connection with the FA-9600, see Sec. 4-2. “Connecting FA-9600 Units.”
4-3-1. Accessing Menus
Displaying Menus
Menus are divided into categories. Pressing a menu (category)
button displays the top menu in the category on the menu display.
Moving between Menus in Menu Category
The double-arrow button lights up when there are more menus to be accessed in the direction.
If the double-arrow button is unlit, the direction is not accessible.
Switching VIDEO and AUDIO modes
Every press of the VIDEO/AUDIO button alternates the menu button assignments between
video menus and audio menus.
The button indicators light up green (*1) when the buttons are accessible to video menus that
are indicated on the top row of each menu button. They light up orange when they are
accessible to audio menus that are indicated on the bottom row of each menu button.
If multiple menu pages are assigned to a button, navigate between pages using up and down
arrow buttons. The arrow buttons light to indicate if there is a page to navigate to.
(*1) The 0 STATUS button will blink green during error condition when a video menu is
selected and 4K Input Mode is set to Auto or 2SI. See Sec. 5-49 “PAYLOAD ID INPUT
STATUS” for more details.
