  • Page 4 Safety Instructions SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Safety regulations production switcher is designed in conformity with the safety regula- tions EN60950 / VDE0805 (protection class 1) and is in an unobjectionable condi- tion when leaving the factory. Information on the following pages provides important safety guidelines for Opera- tors and Service Personnel.
  • Page 5 Safety Instructions ATTENTION! Electrostatic sensitive devices on the p.c. board. Observe the following pre- caution instructions for handling! Earthing connection Never remove or insert p.c. boards when the production switcher is switched on. Install or remove p.c. boards from the production switcher with the corresponding equipment only.
  • Page 6 Safety Instructions CAUTION! To reduce the risk of electric shock, plug each power supply cord into sepa- rate branch circuits employing separate service grounds. When setting up and connecting the switcher, connect the external earth line al- ways before connecting the power line. Thus is ensured that in case of a short-circuit between mains and case, the voltage is led to earth.
  • Page 7 The EMC regulations are only applicable when correctly shielded cables are used for the installation of the equipment. This applies to video cables as well as control cables. Corresponding cables can be obtained from Thomson. Run all connection cables in covered cable ducts (risk of stumbling).
  • Page 8 Sicherheitshinweise SICHERHEITSHINWEISE Sicherheits- Produktionsmischer entspricht den Sicherheitsbestimmungen von bestimmungen EN60950 / VDE 0805 (Schutzklasse 1) und hat das Werk in sicherheitstechnisch einwandfreiem Zustand verlassen. Um diesen Zustand zu erhalten und einen gefahrlosen Betrieb sicherzustellen, sind die nachfolgenden und die in den einzelnen Abschnitten des Handbuches auf- geführten Sicherheitshinweise, insbesondere die Hinweise bezüglich Brandge- fahr, elektrischer Schlag und Verletzungsgefahren, zu beachten: Achtung:...
  • Page 9 Sicherheitshinweise ACHTUNG! Auf den Platinen befinden sich elektrostatisch empfindliche Teile. Beachten Sie bei der Handhabung folgende Vorsichtsmaßnahmen: Earthing connection Niemals Leiterplatten entfernen oder einsetzen wenn der Mischer eingeschal- tet ist. Leiterplatten aus dem Mischer nur mit entsprechender Ausrüstung entneh- men. Vor Entnahme der Leiterplatten aus dem Schutzbeutel, geerdetes Hand- gelenkband anlegen (z.B.
  • Page 10 Sicherheitshinweise Beim Aufstellen und Anschließen des Mischers ist die Verkabelung einer externen Erdleitung immer vor der Verkabelung der Netzleitung vorzunehmen. Hiermit wird gewährleistet, daß im Falle eines Kurzschlusses zwischen Netz und Gehäuse die Spannung gegen Erde abgeleitet wird. Daher die Erdleitung niemals während des Betriebes vom Gerät lösen.
  • Page 11 Die EMV-Bestimmungen werden nur eingehalten, wenn bei der Installation der Ge- räte vorschriftsmäßig abgeschirmte Kabel verwendet werden. Dies gilt sowohl für Video- als auch für Steuerkabel. Entsprechende Kabel sind bei Thomson erhält- lich. Sämtliche Anschlußkabel in abgedeckten Kabelschächten verlegen (Stolper- gefahr).
