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 specied 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.
Double pole neutral fusing — Disconnect mains power prior to servicing.
Use proper lift points — Do not use door latches to lift or move equipment.

the voltage specied for the product.
12 K2 System Guide 06 November 2012
Safety Summaries
Use correct voltage setting — If this product lacks auto-ranging power supplies, before applying
power ensure that the each power supply is set to match the power source.
Provide proper ventilation — To prevent product overheating, provide equipment 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.
Do not operate with suspected equipment failure — If you suspect product damage or equipment
failure, have the equipment inspected by qualied 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 supplycords whichcomply withNEMA congurations.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 specic integrated circuits (ASICS). As a
result, circuit board repair at the component level is very difcult in the eld, if not impossible. For
warranty compliance, do not troubleshoot systems beyond the board level.

ESD Protection
Electronics todayare more susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage than older equipment.
Damage to equipment can occur by ESD elds that are smaller than you can feel. Implementing the
information in this section will help you protect the investment that you have made in purchasing
Grass Valley equipment. This section contains Grass Valley’s recommended ESD guidelines that
should be followed when handling electrostatic discharge sensitive (ESDS) items. These minimal
recommendations are based on the information in the Sources of ESD and Risks on page 21 area.
The information in Grounding Requirements for Personnel on page 22 is provided to assist you in
selecting an appropriate grounding method.

20 K2 System Guide 06 November 2012
Recommended ESD Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when handling Grass Valley equipment:
• Only trained personnel that are connected to a grounding system should handle ESDS items.
• Do not open any protective bag, box, or special shipping packaging until you have been grounded.
NOTE: When a Personal Grounding strap is unavailable, as an absolute minimum, touch a
metal object that is touching the oor (for example, a table, frame, or rack) to discharge any
static energy before touching an ESDS item.
• Open the anti-static packaging by slitting any existing adhesive tapes. Do not tear the tapes off.
• Remove the ESDS item by holding it by its edges or by a metal panel.
• Do not touch the components of an ESDS item unless it is absolutely necessary to congure or
repair the item.
• Keep the ESDS work area clear of all nonessential items such as coffee cups, pens, wrappers
and personal items as these items can discharge static. If you need to set an ESDS item down,
place it on an anti-static mat or on the anti-static packaging.
Sources of ESD and Risks
Safety Summaries
The following information identies possible sources of electrostatic discharge and can be used to
help establish an ESD policy.
Personnel
One of the largest sources of static is personnel. The static can be released from a person’s clothing
and shoes.
Environment
The environment includes the humidity and oors in a work area. The humidity level must be
controlled and should not be allowed to uctuate over a broad range. Relative humidity (RH) is a
major part in determining the level of static that is being generated. For example, at 10% - 20% RH
a person walking across a carpeted oor can develop 35kV; yet when the relative humidity is
increased to 70% - 80%, the person can only generate 1.5kV.
Static is generated as personnel move (or as equipment is moved) across a oor’s surface. Carpeted
and waxed vinyl oors contribute to static build up.
Work Surfaces
Painted or vinyl-covered tables, chairs, conveyor belts, racks, carts, anodized surfaces, plexiglass
covers, and shelving are all static generators.
Equipment
Any equipment commonly found in an ESD work area, such as solder guns, heat guns, blowers,
etc., should be grounded.
Materials
Plastic work holders, foam, plastic tote boxes, pens, packaging containers and other items commonly
found at workstations can generate static electricity.
