The product is intended to be installed by skilled technicians. For installation, please contact a system integrator
or IDK. Improper installation may lead to the risk of fire, electric shock, injury, or property damage.
●Insert the power plug into an outlet that is unobstructed.
Unobstructed access to the plug enables unplugging the product in case of any extraordinary failure, abnormal
situation or for easy disconnection during extended periods of non-use.
●Insert the power plug into an appropriate outlet completely.
If the plug is partially inserted, arching may cause the connection to overheat, increasing the risk of electrical
shock or fire. Do not use a damaged plug or connect to a damaged outlet.
●Unplug the product from the AC power source during installation or service.
When connecting peripheral devices to this product, unplug all involved devices from outlets. Ground potential
differences may cause fire or other difficulties.
■For operating products:

If the product is used outside the specified range for temperature and humidity continuously, it may increase the
risk of fire or electric shock.
●Do not place the product at elevations of 1.24 mi. (2,000 m) or higher above sea
level.
Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
●When mounting the product into the rack, provide sufficient cooling space.
Mount the product in a rack meeting EIA standards, and maintain spaces above and below for air circulation.
For your safety as required, attach an L-shaped bracket in addition to the panel mount bracket kit to improve
mechanical stability.
●Never insert screws without the rubber feet into the threaded holes on the
bottom of the product.
Never insert screws without the rubber feet into the threaded holes on the bottom of the product. Doing so may
lead to damage when the screws contact electrical circuitry or components inside the product.

3 About FDX-S Module Matrix Switchers
The FDX-S is an HDCP-compliant modular digital matrix switcher that supports resolutions up to 4K@60. It
provides up to 32 inputs and 32 outputs. Video and embedded audio can be switched simultaneously.
The FDX-S features RS-232C/LAN ports for remote control, redundant power supply, and system check that
outputs an alarm in case an abnormality is detected in power supply voltage, fans, internal temperature, or
board.
The redundant power supply ensures constant availability and minimizes the chance of a failure even for
mission-critical environments.
