1. General Information

General Safety Information

To ensure awareness of potential hazards, all personnel concerned with the operation or

maintenance of the equipment must study the information that follows, together with

local site regulations.

WARNING: RF Power Hazard: High levels of RF power are present in the unit. Exposure to

RF or microwave power can cause burns and may be harmful to health. Switch

off supplies before removing covers or disconnecting any RF cables, and before

inspecting damaged cables or antennas.

WARNING: Avoid standing in front of high gain antennas (such as a dish) and never look

into the open end of a waveguide or cable where RF power may be present.

CAUTION: Users are strongly recommended to return any equipment that requires RF

servicing to Vislink.

WARNING- GaAs / BeO Hazard: Certain components inside the equipment contain Gallium

Arsenide and Beryllium Oxide that are toxic substances. Whilst safe to handle

under normal circumstances, individual components must not be cut, broken

apart, incinerated or chemically processed. In the case of Beryllium Oxide, a

white ceramic material, the principal hazard is from the dust or fumes, which

are carcinogenic if ingested, inhaled or entering damaged skin.

Please consult your local authority before disposing of these components.

CAUTION: Tantalum Capacitors: When subjected to reverse or excess forward voltage,

ripple current or temperature these components may rupture and could

potentially cause personal injury.

CAUTION: This system contains MOS devices. Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) precautions

should be employed to prevent accidental damage.

CAUTION –AC supply connection and protective earth: The MVL-HD3 series control unit is

a Class 1 device and when used with an AC supply must be connected to a

protective earth. Failure to provide this earth may result in high voltages on the

unit chassis. Installation should always follow local wiring regulations.

The equipment is supplied with an AC supply connector and cord assembly. The wires in

the cord is colored in accordance with the following convention:

Green & Yellow:

Earth (Ground)

Blue

Neutral

Brown

Live

Always ensure that the equipment is correctly connected. Failure to connect the

equipment correctly may render protective devices inoperative; if in doubt consult a

qualified electrician.

CAUTION: The equipped front panel on/off switch is a standby function only. Some

components remain powered. An AC isolator switch is fitted on the rear panel

adjacent to the AC input connector; in normal use, the equipment should be

positioned such that this switch remains readily accessible. To be certain that

the equipment is isolated from the AC supply; always unplug it from the AC

outlet.

Disposal Instructions

WARNING: DO NOT incinerate batteries. Exposing batteries to naked flames or extreme

heat sources can cause them to rupture or explode.

DO NOT dispose of any of the supplied equipment as household waste. The supplied

equipment is not biodegradable in landfill sites. For safe disposal of the supplied

equipment, take it to your local (council/authority) environmental waste site. For details,

contact your local authority/recycling center.

NOTE: In Europe dispose of all equipment in accordance with the European Environmental

directive.

Environmental

CAUTION: The unit is IP0x rated and must be protected from dripping or splashing

water/fluids. When used outdoors, protect the unit using a rain cover.

Health & Safety

Exposure to Non-Ionizing (RF) Radiation/Safe Working Distances

The safe working distance from a transmitting antenna may be calculated from the

relationship:

D =

in which D = safe working distance (meters)

PT = transmitter or combiner power output (watts)

GR = antenna gain ratio = anti log (gain dBi ÷10)

w = Maximum allowed power density (watts/square meter)

The RF power density value is determined by reference to safety guidelines for exposure of

the human body to non-ionizing radiation. It is important to note that the guidelines

adopted differ throughout the world and are from time-to-time re-issued with revised

guidelines. For Vislink use, a maximum power density limit (w) of 1w/m² is to be applied

when calculating minimum safe working distances. Appendix A refers.

WARNING: Any transmitting equipment, radiating power at frequencies of 100 kHz and

higher, has the potential to produce thermal and athermal effects upon the

human body.

To be safe:

a. Operators should not stand or walk in front of any antenna, nor should they

allow anyone else to do so.

b. Operators should not operate any RF transmitter or power amplifier with any of

its covers removed, nor should they allow anyone else to do so.

Maximum RF Power Density Limits

The RF Radiation Power Density limit figure recommended by Vislink is based upon

guideline levels published in:

a. IEEE standard C95.1 1999 - IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with respect to

Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.

b. Guidelines for Limiting Exposure to Time-varying Electric, Magnetic &

Electromagnetic Fields (up to 300 GHz) published in 1998 by the Secretariat of

the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).

Both documents define guideline RF power density limits for "Controlled" and

"Uncontrolled" environments. An uncontrolled environment is defined as one in which the

person subjected to the RF radiation may be unaware of and has no control over the

radiation energy received. The uncontrolled environment conditions can arise, even in the

best-regulated operations and for this reason, the limits defined for the uncontrolled

environment have been assumed for the Vislink recommended limit.

Documents a) and b) also show the RF power density guidelines to be frequency

dependent. Different power density / frequency characteristics are presented in the two

documents. To avoid complexity and to avoid areas of uncertainty, Vislink recommends

the use of a single power density limit across the frequency range 100 kHz to 300 GHz. The

1w/m² power density limit we recommend satisfies the most stringent of the guidelines

published to date.

NOTE: The IICNIRP document is freely available for download from the internet at

www.icnirp.de/emfgdl (PDF file) the IEEE standard is available on loan from Essex

County Library on payment of a search fee.
