To ensure awareness of potential hazards, personnel concerned with the operation or
maintenance of the equipment must read and understand the following information,
together with local site regulations.
WARNING: RF Power Hazard - High levels of RF power are present in the Camera Control
Data Transmitter unit. Exposure to RF or microwave power can cause burns
and may be harmful to health. Always switch off the power before removing
covers or disconnecting RF cables and before inspecting damaged cables or
antennas.
WARNING: Avoid standing in front of high gain antennas (such as a dish) and never look
into the open end of a waveguide or cable where RF power may be present.
WARNING: We strongly recommend returning equipment requiring RF servicing to Vislink.
WARNING: GaAs / BIO Hazard - Certain internal components contain Gallium Arsenide and
Beryllium Oxide, which are toxic substances. While safe to handle under
normal circumstances, individual components must not be cut, broken apart,
incinerated or chemically processed. In the case of Beryllium Oxide, a white
ceramic material, the principal hazard is from the dust or fumes which are
carcinogenic if ingested, inhaled or enter the body via damaged skin.
WARNING: Connecting to the AC supply and protective earth: The Camera Racking
Interface Unit is a Class 1 device and must be connected to a protective earth
when used with an AC supply. Failure to provide this earth may result in high
voltage on the unit chassis. Always install in-line with local wiring regulations.
WARNING: Tantalum Capacitors: When these components are subjected to reverse or
excess forward voltage, ripple current or temperatures, they may rupture and
cause personal injury.
CAUTION: This system contains MOS devices. Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) precautions
should be employed to prevent accidental damage.
The FocalPoint System is IPX0 rated. It should not be exposed to dripping or splashing
water/liquid. When used outdoors, a suitable rain cover is required to protect the unit.
