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.
