The following guidance helps you to ensure the safe operation of your Vicon system, including the use of Lock Studio.

To avoid introducing a safety hazard and possibly damaging the system, please ensure that an adequate and good-quality alternating current (AC) power source is available. For guidance, see the ratings statement on the rear of the connected PoE or PoE+ unit. Also ensure that any computers and peripheral devices are set to be electrically rated to operate with the AC power available in your location.

When working with Vicon systems, observe these safety precautions:

- To prevent electric shock, plug all system components into properly grounded power sources. These cables must be equipped with three-prong plugs to ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable.
- Ensure nothing rests on the system cables and that cables are not located where they can be stepped on or tripped over.
- Do not spill food or liquids onto any electrical component of the system. If any component gets wet, immediately contact Vicon Motion Systems or your nearest agent or distributor for advice.
- Do not push any objects into the slots of any unit of the system. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out internal components.
- Keep all system components away from radiators and heat sources, and do not block cooling vents. Avoid placing loose papers underneath any components. Do not place any components on closed-in units or on a bed, chair, etc.
- Replace fuses with the same type and rating for continued fire protection.
- Do not use outside, near water, in an environment exposed to anesthetic or other explosive gases, or in mobile applications.
