Mains Power Supplies
This equipment has two 3-pin IEC power sockets, one for the main power supply unit and one
for the redundant power supply unit.
The power supply is auto switching for input voltages in the ranges of 100 V to 240 V nominal.
No voltage adjustment procedure is required.
Laser Safety
This product operates with Class 1 laser products.
Ventilation
Although the unit is constructed to meet normal environmental requirements, ensure that
there is a free flow of air at the front, rear, and sides of the unit to dissipate the heat produced
during operation. Installations should be designed to allow for this.
• This equipment has more than one power supply. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, plug each power supply into separate branch circuits employing separate
service grounds.
• Before performing any servicing or maintenance, disconnect and isolate the unit
from the mains input and from any product outputs.
• Do not operate this unit without an earth connection.
Caution: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Do not obstruct the ventilation holes on the right-hand side of the unit. Damage to the
equipment may result.

EMC Environment
The product(s) described in this manual conform to the EMC requirements for, and are
intended for use in, the controlled EMC environment (for example, purpose-built broadcasting
or recording studios), and the rural outdoor environment (far away from railways, transmitters,
overhead power lines, etc.) E4.
EMC Performance of Cables and Connectors
Snell products are designed to meet or exceed the requirements of the appropriate European
EMC standards. In order to achieve this performance in real installations it is essential to use
cables and connectors with good EMC characteristics.
All signal connections (including remote control connections) shall be made with screened
cables terminated in connectors having a metal shell. The cable screen shall have a
large-area contact with the metal shell.
Coaxial Cables
Coaxial cables connections (particularly serial digital video connections) shall be made with
high-quality double-screened coaxial cables such as Belden 1694 or BBC type PSF1/2M.
D-type Connectors
D-type connectors shall have metal shells making good RF contact with the cable screen.
Connectors having “dimples” which improve the contact between the plug and socket shells
are recommended.

Kudos Pro UHD1000 Installation
Issue 1 Rev 2 Page 13 © 2016 SAM
3 Installation
3.1 Unpacking the Unit
The unit is packed in a single cardboard box. Unpack the box carefully and check for any
shortages or shipping damage. Report any shortages or shipping damage to SAM
immediately.
The box contains the following items:
• 1 x UHD1000 unit.
3.2 Rack Mounting the Unit
Ensure that sufficient space is available for the unit.
When installing the unit, place on a suitably specified and installed rack shelf and secure the
unit using the front rack ears.
3.3 Ventilation
Ensure that there is a free flow of air at the front, rear, and sides of the unit in order to
dissipate the heat produced during operation. Installations should be designed to allow for
this.
Important:
Refer to Safety Information on page 3 before installing and connecting power to the unit.
Note:
Retain the product packaging. It may be required if returning the unit to SAM.
Important:
Do not obstruct the ventilation holes on the right-hand side of the unit. Damage to the
equipment may result.
