1. PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS AND SAFETY PROCEDURES

UNPACKING
Check packaging - Upon taking delivery of the unit, inspect the packaging for signs of

damage. If damage has occurred, advise the carriers and/or the suppliers immediately.
Check contents - Upon taking delivery of the unit, unpack the unit carefully and check

that all the items are present and correct. If any items are missing or damaged, contact
your equipment dealer.

Retain packaging - The shipping carton is the safest container in which to transport the
unit. Retain undamaged packaging for possible future use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read instructions - All relevant safety, installation and operating instructions should be

read before attempting to install, connect or operate the unit.
Retain Instructions - All safety, installation and operating instructions should be retained

for future reference.
Heed warnings - All warnings on the unit and in any relevant safety, installation or

operating instructions should be adhered to.
Cleaning - Unplug the unit from the power outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid

cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer as

they may cause hazards.
Water and moisture - Do not expose the internal electronics of this unit to water or

dampness; for example, in an unprotected outdoor installation, or in any area classified
as a wet location.

Accessories - Do not attach this unit to an unstable stand, bracket or mount. The unit
may fall, causing serious injury to a person and serious damage to the unit.

Power sources - This unit should be operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the manufacturer’s label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply you
intend to use, consult your equipment dealer or local power company. For units intended
to operate from battery power or other sources, refer to operating instructions.

Power connector - This unit is equipped with a single 2 pole power connector, mounted at
the rear of the CoData for low voltage power input. Do not attempt to alter this connector
in any way.

CODATA Installation Manual V2 - OCT 12.doc - 4 -

Power cord protection - Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely
to be trapped, pinched or otherwise damaged by items in close proximity to them,
whether inside the unit or outside it. Particular attention should be paid to cords at plugs,
connection units and the point of exit from the unit.

Overloading - Do not overload outlets and extension cords, as this can result in fire or
electric shock.

Object and liquid entry - Never push objects of any kind into the unit, as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on or inside the unit.

Servicing - Servicing of the unit should only be undertaken by qualified service personnel,
as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other hazards.

Damage requiring service - Servicing by qualified personnel should be carried out under
the following conditions:

(a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
(b) If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the unit
(c) If the internal electronics of the unit have been exposed to rain or water

(d) If the unit does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.

Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as
improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require

extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to normal operation.
(e) If the unit has been dropped or the enclosure is damaged.
(f) If the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance. This indicates a need for

service.
Replacement parts - If replacement parts are required, ensure that only replacement

parts recommended by the product manufacturer are used.
Safety check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to the unit, safety checks

should be performed to ensure that the unit is in proper operating condition.
Pre-installation checks - It is recommended that the unit be bench tested prior to

installation on the site.
Safety during installation or servicing - Particular care should be taken to isolate the

data source in order to prevent operation while engineering work is being carried out on
the CODATA.

Adhere to safety standards - All normal safety precautions as laid down by British
Standards and the Health and Safety at Work Act should be observed.

WARNING

TO PREVENT DANGER OF FIRE OR SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THE INTERNAL

COMPONENTS OF THIS EQUIPMENT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

2. INTRODUCTION

GENERAL

The Omnivision CODATA transceivers offer a cost sensitive solution to the reuse coaxial
cables in your existing building structures as the transport medium for Ethernet data;
camera or switch data.

The Omnivision CODATA transceiver modules offer a full duplex connection with data
rates of up to 130MBits/s over distances of 500m. This technology allows the upgrade of
analogue CCTV cameras with IP and Mega Pixel cameras while utilising the existing
building infrastructure. Ethernet switches can also be connected using these devices.

Applications include retail outlets, education facilities, banking halls and finance,
Transport, etc.
