Choosing a Good Location

There are a few items to consider when selecting a location for your DR500 Receiver. Observe the following Safety Precautions:

Safety Precautions

Carefully read and follow all safety, use, and operating instructions before operating the DR500. Heed all warnings and cautions contained in this User Guide. Retain these safety, use, and operating instructions for future reference.

FOLLOW STARTUP PROCEDURE

Do not plug in the DR500 Receiver until you have connected the system and read Section 3: Basic Operations.

PROVIDE A SAFE LOCATION

Place the DR500 on a stable surface of sufficient size and strength, where it will not be jarred, hit, or pushed off its surface. Ensure that all cables and cords are out of the way and will not be tripped over, as this could cause personal injury or serious damage to the DR500.

AVOID WATER AND MOISTURE

Do not expose the DR500 to any liquids, which are often found in flower vases, coffee cups, rain from open windows, etc. If the DR500 is exposed to any liquid, contact your DMX affiliate, as serious damage could occur to the DR500 or its components.

AVOID HEAT, HUMIDITY, AND DUST

To avoid internal damage, the DR500 should be placed away from all heat sources, including radiators, heater ducts, etc., out of direct sunlight, and away from high humidity, excessive dust, or mechanical vibrations, that can cause damage to internal parts.

PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION

To avoid overheating, place the DR500 on a smooth, hard surface that has 2" of clearance around the unit and adequate air circulation. If the DR500 is placed in a closed area, such as a bookcase or rack, ensure that proper ventilation is provided.

Never place the DR500 on a soft surface, such as a rug, sofa, or bed, that would obstruct the required air flow into the DR500 ventilation slots.

USE CORRECT POWER SOURCE

Operate the wall mount power supply for the DR500 from a 120 V, 60 Hz outlet only. Take care not to overload wall outlets or extension cords, as this increases the risk of fire or electrical shock.

ROUTE POWER CORDS SAFELY

Route power cords so they are not walked on or pinched. Pay particular attention to cords and connections at the plugs, receptacles (such as power strips), and the point where they exit from the DR500 and attach to other equipment. Do not place any items on or against power cords.

USE APPROVED ATTACHMENTS ONLY

Use only DMX-approved attachments with the DR500 Receiver..
