Installing the Equipment Read this First! 2.1.1 Handling The TT1220 must be handled and installed carefully and thoughtfully to prevent safety hazards and damage. 2.1.2 Installing the Equipment Ensure that personnel designated to install the unit have the appropriate skill and knowledge. If in any doubt, please contact Customer Services (see Preliminary pages for contact details).
2.3.1 Fixing The TT1220 is designed for fixed use only and has been shipped with fixing brackets suitable for a standard 19-inch rack. When installed in a rack, it should be secured by using the fixing brackets. In addition, support shelves must be used to reduce the weight on the brackets.
IF THE RECEIVER HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO A LIGHTNING STRIKE OR POWER SURGE WHICH HAS STOPPED IT WORKING, DISCONNECT THE POWER IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT REAPPLY POWER UNTIL IT HAS BEEN CHECKED FOR SAFETY. IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT TANDBERG TELEVISION CUSTOMER SERVICES.
TT1220 is not constructed for electrical connection directly to any public telecommunication system. None of the output signals shall be distributed directly from TT1220 to a public telecommunication system leaving the building without using some kind of interface in between such as a telecom terminal, switch or similar unit.
NOTE… The TT1220 is not fitted with an ac power supply ON/OFF switch. Ensure the socket-outlet supplying the equipment is installed near the equipment, so that it is easily accessible. Instruction Manual: TT1220 Professional Receivers and Decoders Page 2-7 ST.TM.TT1220.4...
As there is no power switch fitted to this unit, ensure the local ac power supply is switched OFF before connecting the supply cord. Connect the mains lead to the TT1220 and then to the local supply. Page 2-8 Instruction Manual: TT1220 Professional Receivers and Decoders...
