Safety instructions

1 Safety instructions

 There are no switches or parts inside the camera that require adjustment. The guarantee

becomes void upon opening the camera casing.

 If the product is disassembled, reworked or repaired by other than a recommended service

person, AVT or its suppliers will take no responsibility for the subsequent performance or

quality of the camera.

 The camera does NOT generate dangerous voltages internally. However, because the IEEE-

1394a standard permits cable power distribution at voltages higher than 24 V, various

international safety standards apply. Reference documents applicable in the United States

include:

• Information Processing and Business Equipment, UL 478

• National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70

• Standard for the Protection of Electronic Computer/Data-Processing Equipment, ANSI/NFPA

Reference documents applicable in Europe include materials to secure the European Union CE

marking as follows:

• Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (91/263/EEC)

• EMC Directive (89/339/EEC)

• CE Marking Directive (93/68/EEC)

• LOW Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC) as amended by the CE Marking

Reference documents applicable in Japan include:

• Electronic Equipment Technology Criteria by the Ministry of Trading and Industry (Similar to

NFPA 70)

• Wired Electric Communication Detailed Law 17 by the Ministry of Posts and Telecom Law for

Electric Equipment

• Dentori law issued by the Ministry of Trading and Industry

• Fire law issued by the Ministry of Construction

 Make sure NOT to touch the shield of the camera cable connected to a computer and the

ground terminal of the lines at the same time.

 Use only DC-power supplies with insulated cases. These are identified by having only TWO

power connectors.

 Although IEEE-1394a is functionally plug and play, the physical ports may be damaged by

excessive ESD (electrostatic discharge), when connected under powered conditions. It is

good practice to bring the metal part, which is the shield of the IEEE-1394 cable, in contact

with the housing of the camera, before plugging it into the camera and on the other side in

contact with metal parts of the computer, before plugging it into the port of the computer.

This ensures that excessive charge can flow safely to ground.

 When you feel uncomfortable with the previous advice or when you do not know the

connectivity of an installation at all, we strongly recommend to power all systems down

before connecting or disconnecting a camera.
