Warranty Policies
Hardware Warranty
Utah Scientific, Inc. warrants to the original purchaser that the Utah Scientific hardware is free
from defects in materials and workmanship and will perform substantially in accordance with
the accompanying written materials under normal use and service for a period of ten (10) years
from the date of shipment. Any implied warranties on hardware are limited to ten (10) years.
Some states/jurisdictions do not allow limitations on duration of an implied warranty, so the
above limitation may not apply to certain specific purchasers.
Software Warranty
Utah Scientific warrants that the software will perform substantially in accordance with the
accompanying written materials for a period of one (1) year from the date of shipment.
Customer Remedies
For the first one (1) year after purchase of the software and the first ten (10) years after the date
of purchase of the hardware, Utah Scientific’s and its suppliers’ entire liability and purchaser’s
exclusive remedy shall be, at Utah Scientific’s option, either:
• Return of the price paid, or
• Repair or replacement of the software or hardware that does not meet the above warranties
and is returned to Utah Scientific under the returned materials authorization (RMA)
process with freight and forwarding charges paid.
After the initial warranty periods, purchaser’s exclusive remedy is the repair or replacement of
the hardware upon payment of a fixed fee to cover handling and service costs based on Utah
Scientific’s then-current price schedule. The above warranties are void if failure of the
software or hardware has resulted from an accident, abuse, or misapplication. Any replacement
software or hardware will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or
thirty (30) days, whichever is longer.
Setup and Operations Guide
No other warranties. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Utah Scientific and
its suppliers disclaim all other warranties, either express or implied, including, but not limited
to implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, with regard to the

jurisdictions.
No liability for consequential damages. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,
in no event shall Utah Scientific or its suppliers be liable for any damages whatsoever
(including without limitation, damages for loss of business profits, business interruption, loss
of business information, or any other pecuniary loss) arising out of the use of or inability to use
Utah Scientific products, even if Utah Scientific has been advised of the possibility of such
damages. Because some states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability
for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply in those
circumstances.

Installation
Initial Inspections
Check the contents of the shipment for completeness and possible transport damage.
If the contents are incomplete or damaged, contact Utah Scientific Inc immediately for
repairing or replacement parts of the equipment.
Before Applying Power
Verify that the product is configured to match the available main power source per
the input power configuration instructions provided in this manual.
The modules of the UTAH 100-3 frame may only be installed in specific positions.
Interchanging power and function modules may harm the UTAH 100-3-frame
permanently.
The modules of the UTAH 100-3 frame shall always have the components facing
to the right. Failure may occur if modules are installed incorrectly.
Service
Servicing, adjustments, maintenance or repair of this product may be performed
by qualified personnel only. Adjustments described in this manual may be
performed with power supplied to the product while protective covers are
removed. Energy available at many points may, if contacted, result in personal
injury. Capacitors inside this product may still be charged even when
disconnected from their power source.
1-2 Product Overview
Product Overview
Product Overview
The UTAH 100-3 family of Distribution Amplifiers provide an economical but highly
reliable means of creating multiple copies of both analog and digital video signals.
The 2 RU frame holds dual power supplies for maximum reliability and up to ten DA
modules. Each module is supplied with a rear panel assembly to match the module’s
configuration.
Installation
1. Remove the front cover and inspect the frame and the cards carefully for
damages that may have occurred during transport.
Section 1
2. Check that the frame is installed so the airflow though the unit is
unrestricted. No forced ventilation is required under normal operating
conditions.
3. Connect the external power cords to the corresponding power connectors
on the rear side of the UTAH 100-3 frame. Check that the Power LED on
the primary supply is lit, while the Fan and Temp LEDs remain unlit. If a
failure occurs related to no power, inoperative fan, or temperature range,
please disconnect power and contact UTSCI support for assistance.
Section 1 1-3
Section 1
4. Check the power LEDs on the individual DAs. The blinking green "Activity"-LED
along the front of the card indicate good power to the board and that the correct
jumper setting is present. Normally no changes are necessary if used with Utah
Scientific Inc. control software/systems.
5. Install any additional (needed) cards in the frame - while observing the LED status
at all times.
6. Reinstall the front cover to ensure that air travels properly trough the unit.
