General Safety
Avoiding Personal Injury
To avoid injury and prevent damage to the Ultra or to any products connected to it, use this product
only as specied and take the following safety precauons. Where the Ultra is being used alongside
other equipment, you must also ensure that you act in accordance with the advice given in the
documentaon supplied with those other products.
Only use the power cord that is both specied for this product and cered for the country of
use.
Ensure that the product is properly grounded through the grounding conductor within the
power cord.
Ensure that it is always possible for the user to switch o the power to the unit if need be.
Keep all product surfaces clean and dry.
Ensure that the unit is properly venlated.
Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere or in damp/wet condions.
Do not operate the Ultra with either the cover or any of the panels removed or otherwise
displaced from their standard posions.
Do not operate an Ultra that has been damaged (or that you suspect has been damaged).
When replacing the power supply fuse, only use a fuse of the specied type and rang.
Please note: The only user-serviceable parts are the fuse associated with the power supply and the
baery on the motherboard that backs up the system clock. There are no other user-serviceable parts.
In parcular, the SD card on which the Ultra soware is supplied is not a user-serviceable device:
swapping this card out will remove calibraon data.
Power Supply
Make sure that the unit is connected to the correct power supply voltage. A power supply adaptor
is supplied with the unit which may be connected to any AC power supply between 100 and 240VAC
at 50-60Hz. Only use the supplied power adaptor with the unit. Do not use a damaged AC cable with
the unit as it may cause a shock or re hazard. Replacement AC cables are available from your local
Omnitek agent.

Installaon Environment
Operang Temperature
The unit should only be operated between 5 and 35°Cengrade. If the unit is operated at a higher
temperature there is a possibility of a re hazard. If the temperature is changed rapidly from a cold
environment to a hot environment, moisture can be created internally which can cause malfuncon or
damage the unit. Allow the unit to sit for 30 minutes without power applied to reduce any possibility
of condensaon.
If the unit’s internal temperature rises above 87° Cengrade a warning dialogue will be displayed. If
the unit’s internal temperature rises above 99°Cengrade the unit will automacally go into safe mode
to aempt to avoid damage. Under both condions, an event will be added to the event log to show
what happened.
Input/Output Terminals
Do not connect the input or output BNC connectors to external power as this can damage the internal
circuitry and cause the unit to work incorrectly.
The BNC connectors tted on this unit are 75 Ω type which are not compatible with 50 Ω plugs.
The use of 50 Ω plugs will permanently damage the connectors on the unit and is considered
to be misuse of the equipment and will therefore invalidate the unit’s warranty.
When Not In Use
Disconnect the unit from the power supply and AC power source when not in use.
RoHS Compliance
Omnitek products are designed and manufactured using only RoHS compliant components and
materials. Therefore based on informaon provided by our suppliers, Omnitek ceres that ALL
products that it manufactures are “RoHS-5” compliant and that they do not exceed the designated
levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and
polybrominated diphenyl ether ame retardants (PBDE) legislated under the provisions of the
“European Parliament and Council Direcve” on the “Restricon of the Use of Certain Hazardous
Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (2011/65/EC)” and associated regulaons collecve
known as the “RoHS Regulaons”.
Disposal of Equipment
This product is subject to the European WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment) direcve and should be disposed of according to the regulaons of
each country.
