General Safety Information
To ensure awareness of potential hazards, all personnel concerned with the operation or
maintenance of the equipment must study the information that follows, together with
local site regulations.
WARNING: RF Power Hazard: High levels of RF power are present in the unit. Exposure to
RF or microwave power can cause burns and may be harmful to health. Switch
off supplies before removing covers or disconnecting any 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.
CAUTION: Users are strongly recommended to return any equipment that requires RF
servicing to Vislink.
WARNING- GaAs / BeO Hazard: Certain components inside the equipment contain Gallium
Arsenide and Beryllium Oxide that are toxic substances. Whilst 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 entering damaged skin.
Please consult your local authority before disposing of these components.
CAUTION: Tantalum Capacitors: When subjected to reverse or excess forward voltage,
ripple current or temperature these components may rupture and could
potentially cause personal injury.
CAUTION: This system contains MOS devices. Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) precautions
should be employed to prevent accidental damage.
CAUTION – AC supply connection and protective earth: The MVL-HD3 series control unit is
a Class 1 device and when used with an AC supply must be connected to a
protective earth. Failure to provide this earth may result in high voltages on the
unit chassis. Installation should always follow local wiring regulations.
The equipment is supplied with an AC supply connector and cord assembly. The wires in
the cord is colored in accordance with the following convention:
Green & Yellow:
Earth (Ground)
Blue
Neutral
Brown
Live
Always ensure that the equipment is correctly connected. Failure to connect the
equipment correctly may render protective devices inoperative; if in doubt consult a
qualified electrician.
CAUTION: The equipped front panel on/off switch is a standby function only. Some
components remain powered. An AC isolator switch is fitted on the rear panel
adjacent to the AC input connector; in normal use, the equipment should be
positioned such that this switch remains readily accessible. To be certain that
