FCC Notice
Note: Complies with Federal Communications Commission Rules & Regulations Part 15, Subpart B for a Class
A digital device.
WARNING
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is, in
strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instruction, may cause interference to radio and television reception. It
has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance with the
specification in subpart B of part 15 of the FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection
against such interference in a commercial installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio and television reception,
which can be determined by turning equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
•Reorient the receiving antenna.
•Relocate the equipment with respect to the receiver.
•Relocate the equipment away from the receiver.
•Plug the equipment into a different electrical outlet so that the equipment and receiver are
on different branch circuits.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional
suggestions.
The user may find the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission helpful:
“Interference Handbook, Bulletin CIB-2”
This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Superintendent of Documents, Mailstop
SSOP, Washington, D.C. 20402-9328, ISBN 0-16-045542-1.
Warning: Power must be removed from this unit before removing circuit modules or ribbon cables.
Caution: This unit contains circuit cards with integrated circuit devices that can be damaged by static
discharge. Take all necessary precautions to prevent static discharge.

Coaxial Cable Recommendations
Coaxial cables used to route video signals to and from the unit must meet the video recommendations in this section.
Caution: Careful selection of the proper cable is essential to obtain the best performance from this
equipment. Vicon assumes no responsibility for poor performance when cables other than those
recommended are installed. In all cases, coaxial cable impedance should be 75 ohms.
Materials
Use only cable with a pure copper center conductor. Do not use cable with either a copper-plated steel or an aluminum
center conductor because these do not transfer signals effectively in the frequency range used in CCTV networks. A
center conductor with low DC resistance is required for effective CCTV operation. Solid-core bare copper conductor is
best suited to video applications, except where flexing occurs. If the coaxial cable will be subjected to flexing during
normal use, select a cable with a stranded center conductor. The preferred dielectric material is cellular (foam)
polyethylene. It has better electrical characteristics than solid polyethylene, but is more vulnerable to moisture.
Therefore, use only solid polyethylene dielectric cable with a heavy exterior insulation in applications subject to
moisture. The shield must be copper braid providing 95% or better coverage.
Cable Types
The most commonly used cable types are RG-59/U and RG-11/U. Each is actually a family of cables with widely varying
electrical characteristics, some of which are not suitable for CCTV applications. Choose a cable type by referring to the
characteristics and maximum distances listed below. The maximum distance for best picture refers to the distance
between the camera and the unit. The characteristics of the cables in this table should be used as a guideline when
cables other than Belden are used. Materials and construction must follow the guidelines above. Note that “BC” refers
to bare copper and “TC” refers to tinned copper.
