IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

1. Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions
should be read before the unit is operated.

2. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions
should be retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the unit and in the
operating instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions
should be followed.

5. Cleaning - Unplug the unit from the outlet before cleaning.
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp
cloth for cleaning.

6. Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended by
the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7. Accessories - Do not place this unit on an unstable stand,
tripod, bracket, or mount. The unit may fall, causing serious
injury to a person and serious damage to the unit. Use only
with a stand, tripod, bracket, or mount recommended by
the manufacturer or sold with the product. Any mounting
of the unit should follow the manufacturer’s instructions
and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the
manufacturer.

An appliance and cart combination should be moved with
care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

8. Ventilation - Openings in the enclosure, if any, are provided
for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of the unit, and
to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be
blocked or covered. This unit should not be placed in a built­in installation unless proper ventilation is provided or the
manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

9. Power Sources - This unit should be operated only from
the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If
you are not sure of the type of power supply you plan to
use, consult your dealer or local power company. For units
intended to operate from battery power or other sources,
refer to the operating instructions. This equipment is to be
isolated from the mains supply by a limited power source as
specified in EN60950:1992 Clause 2.11.

10. Grounding or Polarization - This unit may be equipped with
a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable
to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug.
If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician
to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.

Alternately, this unit may be equipped with a 3-wire

grounding-type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin.
This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug
into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding-type plug.

11. Power Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying
particular attention to cords and plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
appliance.

12. Power Lines - An outdoor system should not be located in
the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light
or power circuits or where it can fall into such power lines
or circuits. When installing an outdoor system, extreme care
should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or
circuits as contact with them might be fatal. U.S.A. models only

- refer to the National Electrical Code Article 820 regarding
installation of CATV systems.

13. Overloading - Do not overload outlets and extension cords
as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

14. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind
into this unit through openings, as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the unit.

15. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as
opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.

16. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug the unit from the outlet
and refer servicing to qualified service personnel 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 unit has been exposed to water and/or inclement

weather (rain, snow, etc.).

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 an improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and
will often require extensive work by a qualified technician
to restore the unit to its normal operation.

e. If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been

damaged.

f. When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance--

this indicates a need for service.

17. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required,
be sure the service technician has used replacement
parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same
characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

18. Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to
this unit, ask the service technician to perform safety checks
to determine that the unit is in proper operating condition.

19. Coax Grounding - If an outside cable system is connected
to the unit, be sure the cable system is grounded. U.S.A.
models only--Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No.70-1981, provides information with respect
to proper grounding of the mount and supporting structure,
grounding of the coax to a discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode.

20. Lightning - For added protection of this unit during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect
the cable system. This will prevent damage to the unit due to
lightning and power line surges.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT
REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER
SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER
SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL.

This symbol indicates the presence of
uninsulated “dangerous voltage” with­in the product’s enclosure. This may
constitute a risk of electric shock.

The user should consult the oper­ating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature accom­panying the appliance.

Attention: Installation should be performed
by qualified service personnel only in accor­dance with the National Electrical Code or
applicable local codes.

Power Disconnect. Units with or without

ON-OFF switches have power supplied to the
unit whenever the power cord is inserted into

the power source; however, the unit is opera­tional only when the ON-OFF switch is in the ON posi­tion. The power cord is the main power disconnect for
all units.

If the unit ever needs repair service, the customer should
contact Aigis Mechtronics for return authorization and
shipping instructions.

3 CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Clean the viewing window(s) as needed with a mild, non­abrasive detergent in water and a soft cloth. DO NOT use
alcohol based cleaners to clean the viewing window.

An accessory L-bracket (p/n MT-HC)
can be installed to turn the entire
Height Strip 90° in either direction
to orient the viewing windows parallel
to the wall. This provides a profile
shot of customers entering and
exiting a store.
The camera(s) can be adjusted up to 22°
left or right of center to adjust the view
slightly into or out of the store.

The HC Series of Height Strip camera housings are intended
to improve in-store security in two ways. First, when
installed next to the main entrance of a store, cameras
within the store will capture a subject’s height when exiting
as he or she passes the brightly colored labels. Second, the
Height Strip’s on-board camera will provide a facial shot of
the subject as he or she exits. Each Height Strip unit can
support up to five (5) Color Hi-Resolution cameras. Up to
three (3) cameras can be oriented to look forward through
the curved viewing windows and can be adjusted left or right
of center. Up to an additional two (2) cameras can be turned
90° perpendicular to look directly across the doorway and
provide a profile shot of the subject. Any cameras looking
through the viewing windows can be adjusted 22° left and
right of center. Side-viewing cameras cannot be adjusted,
and require the installer to drill a small hole in the side of the
Height Strip.
