The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

WARNING:

This equipment must be grounded. To ensure safe operation, the three-pin plug must be inserted only into a standard three-pin power outlet which is effectively grounded through normal household wiring. Extension cords used with the equipment must have three cores and be correctly wired to provide connection to the ground. Wrongly wired extension cords are a major cause of fatalities. The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power outlet is grounded or that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if you are in any doubt about the effective grounding of the power outlet, please consult aqualified electrician.

CAUTION:

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock and annoying interference, use the recommended accessories only.

In order to maintain adequate ventilation, do not install or place this unit in a bookcase, built-in cabinet or any other confined space. To prevent risk of electric shock or fire hazard due to overheating, ensure that curtains and any other materials do not obstruct the ventilation.

CAUTION:

The mains plug of the power supply cord shall remain readily operable. The AC receptacle (mains socket outlet) shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible. To completely disconnect this equipment from the AC mains, disconnect the power cord plug from the AC receptacle.

CAUTION:

Invisible Laser radiation is emitted from the Optical fiber connector when this product is turned on. Don’t look into directly into the Optical fiber connector of this product.

CAUTION:

This product uses a semiconductor laser system and is a Class 1 Laser Product complies with Radiation Performance Standards, 21CFR SUBCHAPTER J. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. Don’t make any modifications. Don’t repair by yourself. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

WARNING:

• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture.

• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, keep this equipment away from all liquids. Use and store only in locations which are not exposed to the risk of dripping or splashing liquids, and do not place any liquid containers on top of the equipment.

Mounting the unit in a rack

● Use the unit securely mounted in a standard 19-type rack (depth: 600 mm [23-5/8 inches] or more) compliant with EIA or JIS standards or equivalent.

● Securely x the unit in place using screws that are appropriate for the rack.

● Be sure to attach a support guide for supporting (A) the rear of the unit.

(Provide a support guide that is appropriate for the rack.)

● Before proceeding with the connections, check that the power of the unit and camera is OFF.

● Use the optical ber multi cable to connect the unit and camera.

Connect only the AK-UC4000 camera: Do not connect any other model.

● Use a dedicated cable to connect the unit to the ROP.

● When the unit’s [POWER] switch is set to ON and then the camera’s power is set to ON, the camera can be controlled using the

ROP.

● The camera statuses are shown on the picture monitor.

“Picture monitor displays” (see page 27)

When you congure the unit’s settings by menu operations, the menu screens are displayed on the picture monitor.

“Menu operations” (see page 40)

● Before disconnecting the cables from the camera and ROP, turn off the camera’s power and then turn off the unit’s power.

● When connecting the unit to the ROP using IP connection via a switching hub, use a switching hub that provides PoE support.

● When operating multiple ROPs at the same time with the unit connected using IP connection via a switching hub, the ROP

operated last will be given priority.
