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
.
