Precautions
Important Safety Warnings
[Power]
Operate unit only on the specified supply voltage.
Disconnect power cord by connector only. Do not pull on cable portion.
Do not place or drop heavyor sharp-edged objects on power cord. Adamaged cord
can cause fire or electrical shock hazards. Regularly check power cord for
excessive wear or damage to avoid possible fire / electrical hazards.
Ensure power cord is firmly plugged into AC outlet.
[Grounding]
Ensure 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]
Do not operate unit in hazardous or potentially explosive atmospheres. Doing so
could result in fire, explosion, or other dangerous results.
Do not allow liquids,metal pieces, or otherforeign materials to enter the unit. Doing
so could result in fire, other hazards, or unit malfunction.
If foreign material does enter the unit, turn power off and disconnect power cord
immediately. Remove material and contact authorized service representative if
damage has occurred.
[Transportation]
Handle with care to avoid shocks in transit. Shocks may cause malfunction. When
you need to transport the unit, use the original packing materials or alternate
adequate packing.

[Circuitry Access]
Do not remove covers, panels, casing, or access circuitry with power applied to the
unit! Turn power off and disconnect power cord prior to removal. Internal servicing /
adjustment of unit should only be performed by qualified personnel.
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 power is disconnected. Capacitors associated with the power supply are
especially hazardous. Avoid contact with any capacitors.
Unit should not be operated or stored with cover, panels, and / or casing removed.
Operating unit with circuitry exposed could result in electric shock / fire hazards or
unit malfunction.
[Potential Hazards]
If abnormal smells or noises are noticed coming from the unit, turn power off
immediately and disconnect power cord to avoid potentially hazardous conditions. If
problems similar to above occur, contact authorized service representative before
attempting to again operate unit.
[Rack Mount Brackets, Ground Terminal, and Rubber Feet]
To rack mount or ground the unit, or to install rubber feet, do not use screws or
materials other than those supplied. Otherwise, itmay cause damage to the internal
circuits or componentsof the unit. If you remove the rubberfeet attached on the unit,
do not reinsert the screws securing the rubber feet.
[Consumables]
The consumables used in unit must be replaced periodically. 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,
they should be replaced at an early date. For details on replacing the consumables,
contact your dealer.

IMPORTANT
The FA-9520 has 2 operational modes; FA-9500 mode, in which the unit
operates/functions almost the same as the former FA-9500, and FA-9520 modewith 2
independently operational frame synchronizers. After purchase, select an FA-9520
operational mode for the first time. Refer to section 7-1 “MU OPERATION”for details
on the mode selection procedure. This operation manual describes the operation in
FA-9520 mode. When operating in FA-9500 mode, refer to the separate FA-9520
operation manual (FA-9500 mode).

Rack Mounting
FA-9520/RPS can be mounted to EIA standard rack units. When rack mounting a unit, remove
the rubber feet and use the accessory rack mount brackets (rack ears).
Installing the AC Cord Retaining Clip
Secure the AC cord with the supplied ladder strap/retaining clip assembly to prevent accidental
removal from the FA-9520.
Installing the clip
1) Wrap the retaining 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.
Unplugging the AC cord
1) Push the tab on the retaining up to unfasten the clip.
2) Push the tab on the ladder strap up and slide the clip back.
3) Unplug the AC cord.
