EMI compliance

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment
is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
installation guidelines, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at
his own expense.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the part responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.

Environmental requirements

Care must be taken to observe these considerations when selecting a location for the sign.

•
• Are not designed to be hung in a window. Hanging the sign in a window will void the warranty.
• Should only be used in an environment where the temperature is between -30°C and 50°C (-22° and 122°F).
• Should only be used in an environment where the humidity (non-condensing) does not exceed 95%.
• Must be installed with at least 1 in (2.5 cm) clearance on each end of the case and at least 2 in (5.1 cm) clearance
above the case.
• Warranty will be voided by any form of misuse of abuse of the product.

Reducing electrical noise

Adaptive recommends the following to decrease the amount of electrical emissions and noise with the Alpha 4000 RGB
signs:
• Route incoming power to assign a path separate from a sign's serial communication wires. Do NOT run the power and
communication wires in the same conduit or directly next to one another. Does not apply to PoE only units.
• Where power and serial communications wires must cross, the intersection should be perpendicular.Does not apply to
PoE only units.
• Shield all serial communication wires. Connect the shield to ground at only one point.

Installation

Notice: Sign installation must be performed by qualified personnel.
Notice: Any modifications made to the sign housing will void the warranty.
Notice: Always disconnect the communication cable before disconnecting the power cord.
Notice: Do not change or alter the factory applied finish of the ALPHA 4000RGB sign.
