PRECAUTIONS/SAFETY WARNINGS

1

Please read this manual carefully before using your

HOMERUN

 Series Matrix Switcher. Keep this

manual handy for future reference. These safety
instructions are to ensure the long life of your

HOMERUN

 Series Matrix Switcher and to prevent

fire and shock hazard. Please read them carefully
and heed all warnings.

1.1 GENERAL

 Unauthorized personnel shall not open the unit

since there are high-voltage components
inside.

 Qualified Altinex service personnel, or their

authorized representatives must perform all
service.

1.2 INSTALLATION

 For best results, place the 

HOMERUN 

Series

Switchers on a flat, level surface in a dry area,
away from dust and moisture. To prevent fire
or shock, do not expose this unit to rain or
moisture.

 Handle your 

HOMERUN

 Switcher carefully.

Dropping or jarring can damage the internal
components. Do not place heavy objects on
top of the 

HOMERUN

 Switcher.

 Do not place the 

HOMERUN 

Switcher in direct

sunlight, near heaters or heat radiating
appliances, or near any liquid. Exposure to
direct sunlight, smoke, or steam can harm
internal components. Do not pull the power
cord or any signal cables that are attached to
the 

HOMERUN

. If the 

HOMERUN

 is not used

for an extended period of time, disconnect the
power cord from the power outlet.

1.3 RACK-MOUNT INSTALLATION

 Use only Altinex supplied rack-mount ears for

mounting the 

HOMERUN

 Switcher into a rack.

 The maximum operating ambient temperature

is 45 degrees Centigrade.

 When installing the 

HOMERUN

 Series

Switcher into a rack, distribute individual units
evenly, otherwise hazardous conditions may be
created by an uneven weight distribution. Allow

1-U rack space for every 4 

HOMERUN

Switcher modules for air circulation. This will
reduce heat build up and will prolong the life of
the 

HOMERUN

 Switcher.

 Connect the 

HOMERUN

 Series Switcher to a

properly rated power outlet.

 Reliable grounding of the 

HOMERUN

 Series

Switcher should be maintained by using the
provided 3-prong power cord only.
Furthermore, make sure that the rack is
properly grounded.

1.4 CLEANING

 Unplug the 

HOMERUN

 Series Switcher’s

power cord before cleaning.

 Clean surfaces with a dry cloth. Never use

strong detergents or solvents such as alcohol
or thinner. Do not use a wet cloth or water to
clean the unit.
