Aviom AV-P2 User Manual
Mounting the AV-P2
The AV-P2 module is designed to be mounted to any flat surface.
Optionally, it can be rack mounted using a standard 19-inch rack shelf.
Two AV-P2 units can fit on a single rack shelf.
Optionally, it can be rack mounted using a standard 19-inch rack shelf.
Two AV-P2 units can fit on a single rack shelf.
The mounting flanges on each side of the device are designed to
support the weight of the AV-P2 without additional hardware. The
mounting flanges can be reversed easily using only a Phillips head
screwdriver. Each mounting flange contains holes for two screws per
side. Always support the unit with all four screws when attaching the
product to a flat surface.

product to a flat surface.
If desired, the mounting flanges can be turned around so that they
mount under the AV-P2, making the profile of the AV-P2 as small as
possible. Always use all the mounting screws when reversing the flanges
on the AV-P2.

Always allow adequate ventilation for devices mounted in equipment
racks. Avoid placing your AV-P2 directly above or below other rack-
mounted devices that produce high levels of heat, such as power amps.

Extending Cable Lengths
Cat-5e cables can be extended by using a simple passive device called
an inline coupler to add length to existing cables (as long as you do not
exceed the specified maximum cable length). If you need a longer cable
on occasion, this is a simple solution. Note that it is possible that the
maximum cable length specification can be compromised by using
inline couplers or other passive cable connection devices.

For long cable runs (in excess of 500 feet), any Pro16 device can be used
to extend the distance between two points. Each Pro16 device refreshes
the A-Net signal, allowing another 500 feet of cable to be used.

Cleaning and Maintenance
The exterior of your Aviom products should be cleaned with a dry, soft,
lint-free cloth. For tougher dirt, you can use a cloth slightly dampened
with water or with a mild detergent.

When cleaning your Aviom products, never spray cleaners directly onto
the product surfaces. Instead, spray a small amount of the cleaning
solution onto a clean cloth first. Then use the dampened cloth to clean
the product.

AC Line Conditioning
Aviom products are digital devices and as such are sensitive to sudden
spikes and drops in the AC line voltage. Changes in the line voltage
from lightning, power outages, etc., can sometimes damage electronic
equipment.

from lightning, power outages, etc., can sometimes damage electronic
equipment.
To minimize the chance of damage to your equipment from sudden
changes in the AC line voltage, you may want to plug your equipment
into a power source that has surge and spike protection. Power outlet
strips are available with built-in surge protection circuits that may help
protect your equipment.

Other options for protection of your equipment include the use of an
AC line conditioner or a battery backup system (sometimes referred to
as an uninterruptible power supply, or UPS).
