Always make sure to connect all coaxial cables and network cables before connecting the power cable. This
must be done to avoid electrical shock and to avoid damage to the unit. Ground loops might build up enough
electrical charge to give an electrical shock if not properly connected before connecting the power cord. Make
sure to connect the Cable TV (CATV) amplifier’s ground connection to the Controller unit if both the CATV
amplifier and Controller are installed in the same physical location. If the CATV-amplifier is located far away on
the coaxial network, the Controller unit must not be grounded because this will create a ground loop.
When Using the Controller
The Controller is designed to operate on 12 VDC. If the unit is not powered using the power supply delivered
with the Controller, but in any other way directly or indirectly with 12 VDC, a 3 A fuse must be fitted to the
power cable.
Please observe the following:
• Do not stick any foreign objects, like metal or flammable objects into the Controller or its ventilation holes,
as this can cause fire or electric shock.
• Do not remove the cover or modify it in any way.
- High voltages which can cause severe electric shocks are present inside the Controller. For any
inspection, adjustment, and repair work please contact your local InCoax dealer. The warranty is void if
the cover has been opened.
- Never attempt to repair this product yourself. Improper repair work can be dangerous. Never
disassemble or modify this product. Tampering with this product may result in injury or fire.
• Do not handle the power supply plug with wet hands as this may cause electric shocks.
• Do not use in locations subject to high humidity or dust levels, as this may cause damage to the equipment
or start a fire.
• Do not do anything that may damage the power cable. When disconnecting the power cable, pull on the
plug body, not the cable.
• Do not damage a power cable, make any modifications to it, place heavy objects on top of it, heat it, place
it near any hot objects, twist it, bend it excessively, or pull it. To do so may cause fire and electric shock.
You should discard the power cable if it is damaged in any way.
• The power cable shall also be discarded if the plug is damaged.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the Controller.
• Securely insert the power supply plug as far as it will go.
• Unplug all cables connected to the Controller before moving it.
It is recommended to unplug the power supply from the wall outlet or the unit if the Controller is not going to
be used for any prolonged length of time.
Network Requirements
Please consider the following during the installation of the Controller.
The risk of potential differences and the spread of voltage from faulty equipment are largely linked to the
design of the power installation in the building. If the coax connections are not galvanically separated according
to the standard EN 60728 {d} then a galvanic separator, e.g. Soontai Isolator IS9 SG, shall be used between the
coax connection and the Controller.
In terms of potential equalization, the EN 50083-1 {e} and EN 60728 shall be followed. Cable distribution
systems shall be designed and constructed so that no dangerous voltages can occur in the external conductors
of any cables or in metal cases on passive parts.
Warning
If the Controller is installed in an environment where the surrounding temperature is at least 50
o
C (degrees
Celsius), the coax connectors can reach a temperature of at least 85
o
C. In this case the coax connectors must
not be covered with or in contact with combustible materials due to the risk of fire.
