Screw-lock and power supply precautions
Caution
Screw-lock precautions
•
Also, all AVT 1394b camera and cables have industrial
screw-lock fasteners, to insure a tight electrical connec-
tion that is resistant to vibration and gravity.
•
We strongly recommend using only 1394b adapter
cards with screw-locks.
Power supply precautions
•
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.
•
If you are charged: before touching the shield of the cam-
era cable, make sure to discharge first (by touching the
ground terminal of the lines).
•
Use only DC power supplies with insulated cases. These
are identified by having only two power connectors.
•
If you feel uncomfortable with the previous advice or if
you have no knowledge about the connectivity of an
installation, we strongly recommend powering down all
systems before connecting or disconnecting a camera.
