4 NXG-HDMI4 Module

User Manual

 

å

Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, 

the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater 

than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing 

the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient 

temperature per Section 2.3.

 

å

Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that 

the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not 

compromised.

 

å

 Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such 

that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

 

å

Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of 

the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the 

circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate 

consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing 

this concern.

 

å

Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be 

maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other 

than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

 

å

Read all safety and operating instructions before you operate the unit.

 

å

Retain all safety and operating instructions for future reference.

 

å

Heed all warnings on the unit and in the safety and operating instructions.

 

å

Follow all installation, operating, and use instructions.

 

å

Unplug the unit from the AC power outlet before cleaning. Use only a damp 

cloth for cleaning the exterior of the unit.

 

å

Do not use accessories or attachments not recommended by Blonder Tongue, 

as they may cause hazards, and will void the warranty.

 

å

Do not operate the unit in high-humidity areas, or expose it to water or 

moisture.

 

å

Do not place the unit on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The 

unit may fall, causing serious personal injury and damage to the unit. Install the 

unit only in a mounting rack designed for 19” rack-mounted equipment.

 

å

Do not block or cover slots and openings in the unit. These are provided for 

ventilation and protection from overheating.  Never place the unit near or over 

a radiator or heat register. Do not place the unit in an enclosure such as a cabinet 

without proper ventilation. Do not mount equipment in the rack space directly 

above or below the unit.

 

å

Operate the unit using only the type of power source indicated on the marking 

label. Unplug the unit power cord by gripping the plug, not the cord.

 

å

 The unit is equipped with a three-wire ground-type plug. This plug will fit only 

into a ground-type power outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug into the 

outlet, contact an electrician to replace the outlet. Do not defeat the safety 

purpose of the ground-type plug.

 

å

 Route power supply cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched 

by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, 

convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.

WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS 

UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE

NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER

This reminder is provided to call the CATV System Installer’s attention to 

Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding 

and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to 

the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry 

as practical.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER 

FROM THIS UNIT.

NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED 

SERVICE PERSONNEL.

Section 1 – General & Safety Instructions

The STOP sign symbol is intended to alert you to the 

presence of REQUIRED operating and maintenance 

(servicing) instructions that if not followed, may result in 

product failure or destruction.

The  YIELD  sign  symbol  is  intended  to  alert  you  to  the 

presence of RECOMMENDED operating and maintenance 

(servicing) instructions.

The  LIGHTNING  flash  symbol  is  intended  to  alert  you 

to  the  presence  of  uninsulated  “dangerous  voltage” 

within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient 

magnitude to constitute a risk of electrical shock.

You should always follow these Instructions to help ensure Against injury to yourself and damage to your equipment.

 

å

 Be sure that the outdoor components of the antenna system are grounded in 

accordance with local, federal, and National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements. 

Pay special attention to NEC Sections 810 and 820.  See the example shown in 

the following diagram:

 

å

We strongly recommend using an outlet that contains surge suppression or 

ground fault protection. For added protection during a lightning storm, or when 

the unit is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from 

the wall outlet and disconnect the lines between the unit and the antenna. This 

will prevent damage caused by lightning or power line surges.

 

å

Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light 

or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When 

installing the antenna, take extreme care to avoid touching such power lines or 

circuits, as contact with them can be fatal.

 

å

Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire 

or electrical shock.

 

å

 Never insert objects of any kind into the unit through openings, as the objects 

may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts. This could cause fire or 

electrical shock.

 

å

Do not attempt to service the unit yourself, as opening or removing covers may 

expose you to dangerous voltage and will void the warranty. Refer all servicing 

to authorized service personnel.

 

å

Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to authorized service 

personnel whenever the following occurs:

 

o

The power supply cord or plug is damaged;

 

o

Liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit;

 

o

The unit has been exposed to rain or water;

 

o

The unit has been dropped or the chassis has been damaged;

 

o

The unit exhibits a distinct change in performance.

 

å

When replacement parts are required, ensure that the service technician uses 

replacement parts specified by Blonder Tongue. Unauthorized substitutions 

may damage the unit or cause electrical shock or fire, and will void the warranty.

 

å

 Upon completion of any service or repair to the unit, ask the service technician 

to perform safety checks to ensure that the unit is in proper operating condition.
