This symbol is intended to alert the user of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature provided with the equipment.
This symbol is intended to alert the user of the presence of uninsulated dangerous
voltage within the product’s enclosure that may present a risk of electric shock.
Caution
Read Instructions • Read and understand all safety and operating instructions before using the equipment.
Retain Instructions • The safety instructions should be kept for future reference.
Follow Warnings • Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the equipment or in the user
information.
Avoid Attachments • Do not use tools or attachments that are not recommended by the equipment
manufacturer because they may be hazardous.
Warning
Power sources • This equipment should be operated only from the power source indicated on the product. This
equipment is intended to be used with a main power system with a grounded (neutral) conductor. The
third (grounding) pin is a safety feature, do not attempt to bypass or disable it.
Power disconnection • To remove power from the equipment safely, remove all power cords from the rear of
the equipment, or the desktop power module (if detachable), or from the power source receptacle (wall
plug).
Power cord protection • Power cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be stepped on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them.
Servicing • Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. To
prevent the risk of shock, do not attempt to service this equipment yourself because opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Slots and openings • If the equipment has slots or holes in the enclosure, these are provided to prevent
overheating of sensitive components inside. These openings must never be blocked by other objects.
Lithium battery • There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace it only with the
same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Ce symbole sert à avertir l’utilisateur que la documentation fournie avec le matériel
contient des instructions importantes concernant l’exploitation et la maintenance
(réparation).
Ce symbole sert à avertir l’utilisateur de la présence dans le boîtier de l’appareil
de tensions dangereuses non isolées posant des risques d’électrocution.
Attention
Lire les instructions• Prendre connaissance de toutes les consignes de sécurité et d’exploitation avant
d’utiliser le matériel.
Conserver les instructions• Ranger les consignes de sécurité afin de pouvoir les consulter à l’avenir.
Respecter les avertissements • Observer tous les avertissements et consignes marqués sur le matériel ou
présentés dans la documentation utilisateur.
Eviter les pièces de xation • Ne pas utiliser de pièces de fixation ni d’outils non recommandés par le
fabricant du matériel car cela risquerait de poser certains dangers.
Avertissement
Alimentations• Ne faire fonctionner ce matériel qu’avec la source d’alimentation indiquée sur l’appareil. Ce
matériel doit être utilisé avec une alimentation principale comportant un fil de terre (neutre). Le troisième
contact (de mise à la terre) constitue un dispositif de sécurité : n’essayez pas de la contourner ni de la
désactiver.
Déconnexion de l’alimentation• Pour mettre le matériel hors tension sans danger, déconnectez tous les cordons
d’alimentation de l’arrière de l’appareil ou du module d’alimentation de bureau (s’il est amovible) ou
encore de la prise secteur.
Protection du cordon d’alimentation • Acheminer les cordons d’alimentation de manière à ce que personne ne
risque de marcher dessus et à ce qu’ils ne soient pas écrasés ou pincés par des objets.
Réparation-maintenance • Faire exécuter toutes les interventions de réparation-maintenance par un technicien
qualifié. Aucun des éléments internes ne peut être réparé par l’utilisateur. Afin d’éviter tout danger
d’électrocution, l’utilisateur ne doit pas essayer de procéder lui-même à ces opérations car l’ouverture ou le
retrait des couvercles risquent de l’exposer à de hautes tensions et autres dangers.
Fentes et orices • Si le boîtier de l’appareil comporte des fentes ou des orifices, ceux-ci servent à empêcher
les composants internes sensibles de surchauffer. Ces ouvertures ne doivent jamais être bloquées par des
objets.
Lithium Batterie • Il a danger d’explosion s’ll y a remplacment incorrect de la batterie. Remplacer uniquement
avec une batterie du meme type ou d’un ype equivalent recommande par le constructeur. Mettre au reut les
batteries usagees conformement aux instructions du fabricant.

UL guidelines for rack mounting
ThefollowingUnderwritersLaboratories(UL)guidelinespertaintotheinstallation
of an SW8/12 VGA Ars switcher unit onto a rack.
1
. Elevated operating ambient—Ifinstalledinaclosedormulti-unitrack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be
greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an
environmentcompatiblewiththemaximumambienttemperaturespecied
by Extron (Tma = +32to+122°F[0to+50°C]).
2. Reduced air flow—Installationoftheequipmentinarackshouldbesuch
that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
3
. Mechanical loading—Mountingoftheequipmentintherackshouldbesuch
thatahazardousconditionisnotachievedduetounevenmechanicalloading.
4. Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits
might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when
addressing this concern.
5
. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted
equipmentshouldbemaintained.Particularattentionshouldbegivento
supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as
the use of power strips).

The SW8/12 VGA Ars switchers have two output ports that provide simultaneous,
buffered video output of the selected video input signal.
Outputsaredeliveredontwo15-pinHDfemaleconnectors(identicaltotheinput
