Unexpected high voltages can be present at unusual locations in defective

equipment and signal distribution systems. Become familiar with the equipment

that you are working with and observe the following safety precautions.

•Every precaution has been taken in the design of your product to ensure that it is

as safe as possible. However, safe operation depends on you the operator.

•Always be sure your equipment is in good working order. Ensure that all points of

connection are secure to the chassis and that protective covers are in place and

secured with fasteners.

•Never work alone when working in hazardous conditions. Always have another

person close by in case of an accident.

•Always refer to the manual for safe operation. If you have a question about the

application or operation email [email protected]

•WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock never allow your

equipment to be exposed to water, rain or high moisture environments. If it is

exposed to a liquid, remove power safely (at the breaker) and send your

2.1 Rack Installation

The OmniHub 6/6D is designed to be mounted in a standard 19” rack. It takes 1RU of

rack space. To install it into a rack, please use the following steps:

•Determine the desired position in the rack for the OmniHub 6/6D. Make sure that

the air intake on the front of the unit and the exhausts on the back of the unit will

not be blocked.

•Install the brackets at the desired position if there’s no supporting plate in the

rack.

•Insert the rack mount clips into the place over the mounting holes in the rack.

•Slide the OmniHub 6/6D into the position in the rack.

•Secure the chassis to the rack by installing the four supplied screws through the

front mounting holes and tightening.

2.2 AC Power Connection

The Dual Redundant option allows the OmniHub 6/6D to be powered by two separate

supplies either operating 110V or 220V systems. The power supply will automatically

detect the system it is connected to. To hook up the power use the following steps:

•Locate the power cords that are contained. Please only use the supplied 3-prong

power connector or one with equal specifications. NEVER tamper with or remove

the grounding pin. This could cause damage to OmniHub 6/6D, personnel, or

property.

•Plug the female end of the power cords into the front of the unit.

•Locate a protected outlet to plug the male ends of the power cables into.

OmniHub 6/6D – User Manual

Page 18 of 113

When you take the equipment from a cold condition into a much warmer and

humid condition, the equipment should be acclimated to the warm and humidity

condition for at least 30 minutes. Powering up a non-acclimated unit may lead to

shortcut or other damage to electronic components.

A professional UPS system is recommended for better performance of your

content distribution system.
