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.
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. Useonlywithamountingaccessory recommended 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 - If slots and openings are provided in the cabinet, they are to provide
ventilation, ensure reliable operation and protect it from overheating. 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 c
does 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 replacement 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.
