Media Converters — Instruction Manual 9

Safety Summary

Symbols on the Product

The following symbols may appear on the product:

Indicates that dangerous high voltage is present within the
equipment enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock.

Indicates that user, operator or service technician should refer
to product manual(s) for important operating, maintenance,
or service instructions.

This is a prompt to note fuse rating when replacing fuse(s).
The fuse referenced in the text must be replaced with one
having the ratings indicated.

Identifies a protective grounding terminal which must be con­nected to earth ground prior to making any other equipment
connections.

Warnings

Identifies an external protective grounding terminal which
may be connected to earth ground as a supplement to an
internal grounding terminal.

Indicates that static sensitive components are present which
may be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Use anti-static
procedures, equipment and surfaces during servicing.

The following warning statements identify conditions or practices that can
result in personal injury or loss of life.

Dangerous voltage or current may be present — Disconnect power and remove

battery (if applicable) before removing protective panels, soldering, or
replacing components.

Do not service alone — Do not internally service this product unless another

person capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation is present.

Remove jewelry — Prior to servicing, remove jewelry such as rings, watches,

and other metallic objects.

Avoid exposed circuitry — Do not touch exposed connections, components or

circuitry when power is present.

10 Media Converters — Instruction Manual

Safety Summary

Use proper power cord — Use only the power cord supplied or specified for

this product.

Ground product — Connect the grounding conductor of the power cord to

earth ground.

Operate only with covers and enclosure panels in place — Do not operate this

product when covers or enclosure panels are removed.

Use correct fuse — Use only the fuse type and rating specified for this

product.

Use only in dry environment — Do not operate in wet or damp conditions.

Use only in non-explosive environment — Do not operate this product in an

explosive atmosphere.

High leakage current may be present — Earth connection of product is essential

before connecting power.

Dual power supplies may be present — Be certain to plug each power supply

cord into a separate branch circuit employing a separate service ground.
Disconnect both power supply cords prior to servicing.

Cautions

Double pole neutral fusing — Disconnect mains power prior to servicing.

Use proper lift points — Do not use door latches to lift or move equipment.

Avoid mechanical hazards — Allow all rotating devices to come to a stop before

servicing.

The following caution statements identify conditions or practices that can
result in damage to equipment or other property

Use correct power source — Do not operate this product from a power source

that applies more than the voltage specified for the product.

Use correct voltage setting — If this product lacks auto-ranging power sup-

plies, before applying power ensure that the each power supply is set to
match the power source.

Provide proper ventilation — To prevent product overheating, provide equip-

ment ventilation in accordance with installation instructions.

Use anti-static procedures — Static sensitive components are present which

may be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Use anti-static procedures,
equipment and surfaces during servicing.

Media Converters — Instruction Manual 11

Safety Summary

Do not operate with suspected equipment failure — If you suspect product damage

or equipment failure, have the equipment inspected by qualified service
personnel.

Ensure mains disconnect — If mains switch is not provided, the power cord(s)

of this equipment provide the means of disconnection. The socket outlet
must be installed near the equipment and must be easily accessible. Verify
that all mains power is disconnected before installing or removing power
supplies and/or options.

Route cable properly — Route power cords and other cables so that they ar not

likely to be damaged. Properly support heavy cable bundles to avoid con­nector damage.

Use correct power supply cords — Power cords for this equipment, if provided,

meet all North American electrical codes. Operation of this equipment at
voltages exceeding 130 VAC requires power supply cords which comply
with NEMA configurations. International power cords, if provided, have
the approval of the country of use.

Use correct replacement battery — This product may contain batteries. To

reduce the risk of explosion, check polarity and replace only with the same
or equivalent type recommended by manufacturer. Dispose of used bat­teries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Troubleshoot only to board level — Circuit boards in this product are densely

populated with surface mount technology (SMT) components and applica­tion specific integrated circuits (ASICS). As a result, circuit board repair at
the component level is very difficult in the field, if not impossible. For war­ranty compliance, do not troubleshoot systems beyond the board level.

Regulatory Notices

Certifications and Compliances

FCC Emission Control

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equip
ment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equip
ment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which
case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Grass Valley Group
can affect emission compliance and could void the user’s authority to
operate this equipment.

Laser Safety

Laser safety in the United States is regulated by the Center for Devices and
Radiological Health (CDRH). The laser safety regulations are published in
the “Laser Product Performance Standard,” Code of Federal Regulation
(CFR), Title 21, Subchapter J.

User’s Guide,” governs laser products outside the United States. Europe
and member nations of the European Free trade Association fall under the
jurisdiction of the Comite European de Normalization Electrotechnique
(CENELEC).

For the CDRH: The radiant power is detected trough a 7 mm aperture at a
distance of 200 mm from the source focused through a lens with a focal
length of 100 mm.

For IEC compliance: The radiant power is detected trough a 7 mm aperture
at a distance of 100 mm from the source focused through a lens with a focal
length of 100 mm.
