instructions.
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
Vicon.
10. Power Sources -
The product should only be operated
from the recommended power source. Use only a UL Class
2 indoor/dry or Class 3 outdoor/wet power supply.
11. Grounding -
Only products equipped with a 3-prong
grounded plug should be inserted into a grounded power
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.
14. Lightning -
Disconnect the product from its power
source and cable system when possible to prevent damage
due to lightning and power-line surges.
15. Power Lines -
Do not locate outside cables over power
or utility lines where they can fall and make direct contact.
Contact with power lines can be fatal.
16. Overloading -
Do not overload wall outlets and
extension cords to prevent risk of fire and electric shock.
17. Object and Liquid Entry -
Never probe through, or spill
liquid into, enclosure openings to prevent risk of fire or
electric shock.
18. Servicing -
Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
19. Damage Requiring Service -
Obtain service when:
a)
The power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b)
Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the
product.
c)
The product is not designed for outdoor use and has
been exposed to water or moisture.
d)
The product does not operate per the operating
instructions. Perform Vicon recommended
adjustments, modifications and troubleshooting only to
avoid unit damage and personal injury.
e)
The product has been dropped.
f)
The product shows a significant change in
performance.
20. Replacement Parts -
Use only Vicon specified
replacement parts or an approved equivalent to prevent unit
damage and injury.
21. Safety Check -
Request safety checks to be performed
following repair or maintenance to verify proper operation.
22. ESD Precaution -
Take all normal electrostatic
discharge precautions to avoid component damage during
installation and operation.
23. For 230 VAC Devices Only -
When the disconnect
device is not incorporated in the equipment or when the plug
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.
