For units that CANNOT BE DISCONNECTED from the power 
source, use a damp cloth for cleaning and do not allow 
moisture or liquids to enter vents. 
 

6. Attachments -

 Use only Vicon recommended attachments 

to prevent unit damage and personal injury.

outdoor environments where they will be exposed to water or 
moisture. 
 

8. Accessories -

 Do not place the unit on an unstable surface 

to avoid falling. Use only Vicon recommended mounting accessories. 
 

9. Ventilation -

they ensure reliable operation. Do not place the unit near a 
heat source or into an enclosure unless recommended by 
Vicon. 
 

10. Power Sources -

 The product should only be operated 

from the recommended power source. If not specified, consult 
your Vicon dealer or local power company. 
 

11. Grounding -

12. Power Cord Protection -

 Power supply cords should not 

be routed in trafficked areas or in tight spaces where they will 
be pinched or used to bear weight. Allow some slack in the 
cord where it enters the unit. 
 

13. Outdoor Cable Grounding -

 Use only grounded outdoor 

cables to protect against voltage surges and static charges. 
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-
1984, provides information on proper grounding of the lead-in 
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding 
conductors and the requirements of grounding electrodes. 
 

14. Lightning -

 Disconnect the product from its power source 

and cable system when possible to prevent damage due to 
lightning and power-line surges. 
 

15. Power Lines -

utility lines where they can fall and make direct contact. 
Contact with power lines can be fatal. 
 

16. Overloading -

 Do not overload wall outlets and extension 

cords to prevent risk of fire and electric shock. 
 

17. Object and Liquid Entry -

 Never probe through, or spill 

liquid into, enclosure openings to prevent risk of fire or electric 
shock. 
 

18. Servicing -

 Refer all servicing to qualified service 

personnel.

replacement parts or an approved equivalent to prevent unit 
damage and injury. 
 

21. Safety Check -

 Request safety checks to be performed 

following repair or maintenance to verify proper operation. 
 

22. ESD Precaution -

 Take all normal electrostatic discharge 

precautions to avoid component damage during installation 
and operation. 
 

23. For 230 VAC Devices-

 When the disconnect device is not 

incorporated in the equipment or when the plug on the power 
supply is intended to serve as the disconnect device, follow 
the guidelines below: 
For permanently connected 230 VAC units, a readily 
accessible disconnect device must be incorporated into the 
site wiring. 
 
For 230 VAC units with a plug, the outlet must be installed 
near the unit and be easily accessible.
