Installation Environment
Operating Temperature
The unit should only be operated between 0 and 40 °Centigrade. If the unit is
operated at a higher temperature there is a possibility of a fire hazard. If the
temperature is changed rapidly from a cold environment to a hot environment,
moisture can be created internally which can cause malfunction or damage the
unit. Allow the unit to sit for 30 minutes without power applied to reduce any
possibility of condensation. If the temperature rises above 60°Centigrade a
warning dialog will be given. If the temperature rises above 65°Centigrade the
unit will be turned OFF. Under both conditions, 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.
When Not In Use
Disconnect the unit from the power supply and AC power source when not in use.
Maintenance
Wipe the case, and knobs gently with a soft cloth, lightly dampened with a neutral cleaning
agent. A screen cleaning cloth may be used to clean the LCD. Do not apply force to the LCD
when cleaning or it may be damaged.
Remove the power supply from the unit and turn OFF before cleaning. Do not
allow any water or other liquid to enter the unit while cleaning.
Disposal of Equipment
This product is subject to the European WEEE (Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment) directive and should be disposed of according to the
regulations of each country.
