when the power is on.
✓After use, securely stow away all loose cables, external antenna, and others.
2.2 Power precautions
✓When you connect the power source, make sure if it may cause overload.
✓Avoid operating on a wet floor in the open. Make sure the extension cable is in
good condition
✓Make sure the power switch is off before you start to install the device

2.4 Environment Requirement
Item
Requirement
Machine Hall
Space
When user installs machine frame array in one machine
hall, the distance between 2 rows of machine frames
should be 1.2~1.5m and the distance against wall should
be no less than 0.8m.

installing air-conditioning is recommended
Relative Humidity
20%~80% sustainable 10%~90% short time
Pressure
86~105KPa
Door & Window
Installing rubber strip for sealing door-gaps and dual level
glasses for window
Wall
It can be covered with wallpaper, or brightness less paint.
Fire Protection
Fire alarm system and extinguisher
Power
Requiring device power, air-conditioning power and
lighting power are independent to each other. Device
power requires AC 110V±10%, 50/60Hz or AC
220V±10%, 50/60Hz. Please carefully check before
running.
2.5 Grounding Requirement
✓All function modules’ good grounding is the basis of reliability and stability of
devices. Also, they are the most important guarantee of lightning arresting and
interference rejection. Therefore, the system must follow this rule.
✓Grounding conductor must adopt copper conductor in order to reduce high
frequency impedance, and the grounding wire must be as thick and short as
possible.

Page 8 / 24 Copyright 2017 ProVideoInstruments USA –All Rights Are Reserved
✓Users should make sure the 2 ends of grounding wire well electric conducted and
be antirust.
✓It is prohibited to use any other device as part of grounding electric circuit
✓The area of the conduction between grounding wire and device’s frame should
be no less than 25 mm2.
Chapter 3 WEB NMS Operation
3.1 Encoder login
The default IP address of this device is 192.168.0.136. Connect the PC (Personal
Computer) and the device with net cable, and use ping command to confirm they
are on the same network segment.
I.G. the PC IP address is 192.168.99.252, we then change the device IP to
192.168.99.xxx (xxx can be 1 to 254 except 252 to avoid IP conflict).
Use web browser to connect the device with PC by inputting the Encoder &
Modulator’s IP address in the browser’s address bar and press Enter.
It will display the Login interface as Figure-1. Input the Username and Password
(Both the default Username and Password are “admin”.) and then click “LOGIN”
to start the device setting.
