DANGER! 

Risk of deadly injuries from electrical current!

The ACR Automatic Cable Reel can generate a high voltage 
which can be considered hazardous. This hazardous voltage 
may be exposed if the automatic cable reel is opened while the 
system is operational. Therefore the ACR Automatic Cable Reel 
should only be opened by a 

Mini-Cam Service Centre

.

 
• There are no user serviceable parts or components within the 
ACR.

DANGER!

Risk of deadly injuries from electrical current!

Only use an appropriately rated and approved cord set in
accordance with the regulation of the country in which this 
system is used.

DANGER!

Risk of deadly injuries from electrical current!

The ACR can be used in wet environments that 

do not 

exceed 

the Environmental Protection IP45 rating.
