Important Safeguards
GRAPHIC SYMBOL EXPLANATION
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended
to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the
product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK,
DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-
SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING
TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
CAUTION:
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to
the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the unit.
1. Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should be read
before the video product is operated.
2. Retain Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should be retained
for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the video product and in the operating
instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be followed.
5. Cleaning - Step aapplies to equipment that can be disconnected from the CCTV system
without seriously jeopardizing security. Step b applies to equipment that must operate
continuously such as video switching equipment at military installations.
a. Disconnect this video product from its power source before cleaning. Do not
use caustic, abrasive, or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
b. Use a damp cloth to clean the equipment. Do not allow moisture or liquids to
enter any vents. Do not use caustic, abrasive, or aerosol cleaners.
6. Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended by Vicon as they may
cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture - Do not use this video product in any location where it may
be exposed to water or moisture. This does not apply to outdoor camera housings,
outdoor pan-and-tilt drives, and other equipment designed for direct exposure to
outdoor environments.
8. Accessories - Do not place this video product on any unstable surface or table.
The video product may fall, causing serious injury to a person and serious damage
to the video product. Use only with a mounting accessory reco mmended by Vicon, or sold
with the video product. Any mounting of the video product should follow Vicon’s
instructions, and a mounting accessory recommended by Vicon should be used.
9. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to
ensure reliable operation of the video product and to protect it from overheating, and
these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be
blocked by placing the video product on a rug or other similar surface. This video
product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This video
product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack
unless proper ventilation is provided or Vicon’s instructions have been adhered to.
10. Power Sources - This video product should be operated only from the type of
power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power
supplied to your installation site, consult your Vicon dealer or local power company.
For video products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to
the operating instructions.
11. Grounding - This applies to video products equipped with a 3-wire grounding-
type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug only fits into a grounding-
type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into
the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
12. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so that they are
not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying
particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the video product.
13. Outdoor Cable Grounding - If an outside cable system is connected to the
video product, be sure the cable system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1984, provides information with respect to
proper grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode.
14. Lightning - For added protection for this video product when it is not used for
long periods of time, disconnect it from its power source and from the cable system.
This prevents damage to the video product due to lightning and power-line surges.
15. Power Lines - An outside cable system should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into
such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside cable system, extreme care
should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with
them might be fatal.
16. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
17. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into this video product
through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could
result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the video product.
18. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this video product yourself as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.
19. Damage Requiring Service - Disconnect this video product from its power
source and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions. Note that step cdoes not apply to outdoor camera housings, outdoor
pan-and-tilt drives and other equipment specifically designed for direct exposure to
outdoor environments.
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the video product.
c. If the video product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the video product does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions, as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage
and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the
video product to its normal operation.
e. If the video product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f. When the video product exhibits a distinct change in performance - this
indicates a need for service.
20. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician has used parts specified by Vicon or that have the same
characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in
fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
21. Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this video
product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that
the video product is in proper operating condition.
