1. Read Instructions -
Read all safety and operating
instructions before the product is operated.
2. Retain Instructions -
Retain all safety and operating
instructions for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings -
Pay attention to all product warnings.
4. Follow Instructions -
Follow all operating instructions.
5. Cleaning -(Do not use caustic, abrasive or aerosol
cleaners)
a) For units that CAN BE DISCONNECTED from the
power source, use a damp cloth for cleaning.
b) 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 UL Listed Vicon recommended
attachments to prevent unit damage and personal injury.
7. Water and Moisture -
Use only products designed for
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 UL Listed Vicon recommended
mounting accessories.
9. Ventilation -
Do not block ventilating slots and openings
as they ensure reliable operation. Do not place the unit near
a heat source or into an enclosure unless recommended by

outlet. Contact an electrician to replace an obsolete outlet.
Do not force a plug into a non-grounded outlet.
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.

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