GRAPHIC SYMBOL EXPLANATION
The lightening bolt symbol alerts the user to the presence of
dangerous voltage that may present the risk of electric shock.
The exclamation point symbol alerts the user to the presence of
important operating and maintenance 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.
