FCC Compliance (USA) and Digital Equipment Compliance (Canada)
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A, digital device,
pursuant to Part 15, Subpart B of the FCC Rules and the Canadian EMC Requirement (ICES-003).
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause harmful interference, in which case, the user will be required to correct the interference at
their own expense. Shielded cables must be used to ensure compliance with the FCC Class A limits.

Important Safeguards and Notices
This section provides important safety guidelines for the Operator and Service Personnel. Specific
warnings and cautions are found throughout the guide where they apply, but may not appear here. Please
read and follow the important safety information, specifically those instructions related to risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons.
Safety Symbols
•Hazardous Voltage symbol
•Caution symbol. The product is marked with this symbol when it is necessary to
refer to the manual to prevent damage to the product.
Warnings
Please observe the following important warnings:
•Any instructions in this guide that require opening the chassis, changing a
power supply, or removing a board, should be performed by qualified personnel
only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any service unless you
are qualified to do so.
•Heed all warnings on the unit and in the operating instructions.
•Do not use this product in or near water. Disconnect AC power before installing
any options or servicing the unit unless instructed to do so by this manual.
•This product is grounded through the power cord ground conductor. To avoid
electric shock, plug the power cord into a properly wired receptacle before con-
necting the product inputs or outputs.
•Route power cords and other cables so they won’t be damaged.
•The AC receptacle (socket) should be located near the equipment and be easily
accessible.
•Disconnect power before cleaning. Do not use any liquid or aerosol cleaner -
use only a damp cloth.

Setup and Operations Guide v
•Dangerous voltages exist at several points in this product. To avoid personal
injury, do not touch exposed conductors and components while power is on. Do
not insert anything into either of the systems two-power supply cavities with
power connected.
•Do not wear hand jewelry or watches when troubleshooting high current cir-
cuits, such as power supplies. During installation, do not use the door handles
or front panels to lift the equipment as they may open abruptly and injure you.
•To avoid fire hazard when replacing fuses, use only the specified correct type,
voltage and current rating as referenced in the appropriate parts list for this
product. Always refer fuse replacement to qualified service personnel.
•Have qualified personnel perform safety checks after any service.
Cautions

Warranty Policies
Hardware Warranty
Utah Scientific, Inc. warrants to the original purchaser that the Utah Scientific hardware is free
from defects in materials and workmanship and will perform substantially in accordance with
the accompanying written materials under normal use and service for a period of ten (10) years
from the date of shipment. Any implied warranties on hardware are limited to ten (10) years.
Some states/jurisdictions do not allow limitations on duration of an implied warranty, so the
above limitation may not apply to certain specific purchasers.
Software Warranty
Utah Scientific warrants that the software will perform substantially in accordance with the
accompanying written materials for a period of one (1) year from the date of shipment.
Customer Remedies
For the first one (1) year after purchase of the software and the first ten (10) years after the date
of purchase of the hardware, Utah Scientific’s and its suppliers’ entire liability and purchaser’s
exclusive remedy shall be, at Utah Scientific’s option, either:
• Return of the price paid, or
• Repair or replacement of the software or hardware that does not meet the above warranties
and is returned to Utah Scientific under the returned materials authorization (RMA)
process with freight and forwarding charges paid.
After the initial warranty periods, purchaser’s exclusive remedy is the repair or replacement of
the hardware upon payment of a fixed fee to cover handling and service costs based on Utah
Scientific’s then-current price schedule. The above warranties are void if failure of the
software or hardware has resulted from an accident, abuse, or misapplication. Any replacement
software or hardware will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or
thirty (30) days, whichever is longer.

viii MC-40/400 Operations Guide
No other warranties. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Utah Scientific and
its suppliers disclaim all other warranties, either express or implied, including, but not limited
to implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, with regard to the
software, the accompanying written materials, and any accompanying hardware. This limited
warranty gives the purchaser specific legal rights. These rights may vary in certain states/
jurisdictions.
No liability for consequential damages. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,
in no event shall Utah Scientific or its suppliers be liable for any damages whatsoever
(including without limitation, damages for loss of business profits, business interruption, loss
of business information, or any other pecuniary loss) arising out of the use of or inability to use
Utah Scientific products, even if Utah Scientific has been advised of the possibility of such
damages. Because some states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability
for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply in those
circumstances.

System Parts Listing
The system components you have received (or will already have) may include the following:
•Utah 200 or 400 Router
•Control Card, housed within the SC-3 or SC-4 system (external). The system is also com-
patible with the SC-200.
• [White] Terminator box or UNET “Y” splitter cable. This device is placed between the SC-
4 (or SC-3)and the MC-2020.
• MC-2020 mainframe (processor)
• MCP-2020 panel
• Controller Terminators for the Router and SC-3 or SC-4
•Ethernet Hub
• System Installation CD (with NFS Server license)
• CAT 5 to 9-pin serial adapter for diagnostic port
• MC-2020 Breakout Panel (optional)
Connections
The MC-2020 mainframe and SC-3 or SC-4 are connected via UNET cabling. The UNET cable
is attached to its corresponding port on the back of the SC-3/4 controller (see the next illustra-
tion). Since UNET must be terminated, the cable is passed through a termination box or “Y”
cable prior to being connected to the MC-2020. Termination is necessary since there is no
loop through capability.

MC/P-2020 System 1-3
Initial Activation and Confirmation
Ethernet Hub
The Ethernet hub is designed to accommodate a stand-alone operation when a house net-
work is not available. The following devices connect to this central hub:
• SC-3 or SC-4
• MCP-2020
• MC-2020
• Computer control (optional, for RMS and Telnet operations)
(see figure 1-1)
Initial Activation and Confirmation
Once all connections have been made and the system is powered up, the system will scan the
network and locate the processor assigned to Channel 1, then make the necessary connec-
tions via the UNET cabling.
The MCP-2020 will complete its brief test cycle and allow you to complete takes from the
panel.
The system uses an SD video signal for reference input and timing control (on HD systems
use an HD video signal). This can consist of house black or color bars. Though the default
system configuration is for one channel, the panel has the ability to control a minimum of eight
different channels.
Channels not located will display as ‘pending’.
Default IP Configuration
The single-channel default (factory set) IP configuration is as follows:
Multiple chassis configurations will affect these addresses. Please contact customer service
for more detail.
