Environmental Information
The equipment that you purchased required the extraction and use of natural
resources for its production. It may contain hazardous substances that could
impact health and the environment.
To avoid the potential release of those substances into the environment and to
diminish the need for the extraction of natural resources, Ross Video encourages
you to use the appropriate take-back systems. These systems will reuse or recycle
most of the materials from your end-of-life equipment in an environmentally
friendly and health conscious manner.
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol invites you to use these systems.
If you need more information on the collection, reuse, and recycling systems, please
contact your local or regional waste administration.
You can also contact Ross Video for more information on the environmental
performances of our products.

Removing a Module • 5
Removing a Module
To remove an existing module, you must first disconnect the communications and
power cables from the existing module, and then remove the module. If you are
removing a blank module plate, there are no communications or power cables to
disconnect.
Warning Hazardous Voltages: Hazardous voltages are
present in the control panel as long as any of the power
supplies are connected to the AC power.
1. Power down the control panel. The frame can remain on during this
procedure. Refer to your Vision switcher documentation for information on
shutting down the control panel.
2. Unplug the Primary and Redundant (if installed) power from the control
panel.
3. Lift up on the control panel lid to gain access to the control panel tub.
4. Identify the module, or blank module plate, that you want to remove.
5. Disconnect the Module Power Cable from the existing module you want to
remove. This 4-conductor ribbon cable delivers power to all the modules
in the row. When removing it, ensure that you do not accidentally unplug it
from any neighboring modules.

module you want to remove. These CAT5e cables deliver all the command
signals to and from the module, as well as the other modules in the same
row.
7. Remove the four (4) Retaining Nuts located at each corner of the existing
module, or blank module plate, and keep them in a safe place. A ¼ inch hex
driver or wrench is required.
