User Manual - VPX-1401

To avoid ESD (Electrostatic Discharge)  damage to  sensitive components, make sure  you are  properly grounded before 

touching any internal materials.  

When working with any equipment manufactured  with electronic devices, proper  ESD grounding procedures  must  be 

followed to make sure people, products, and tools are as free of static charges as possible. Grounding straps, conductive 

smocks, and conductive work mats  are specifically designed for this purpose. These items should not  be manufactured 

locally, since they are generally composed of highly resistive conductive materials to safely drain static discharges, with-

out increasing an electrocution risk in the event of an accident.  

Anyone performing field maintenance on AMX equipment should use an appropriate ESD field service kit complete with at 

least a dissipative work mat with a ground cord and a UL listed adjustable wrist strap with another ground cord.  

WARNING

Do Not Open! Risk of Electrical Shock. Voltages  in this equipment 

are hazardous to life. No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing to 

qualified service personnel.  

Place the equipment near a main power supply outlet and make sure that you 

can easily access the power breaker switch.  

ESD WARNING
