Attention!

The attention of the specifier, purchaser, installer, or user is drawn to the special measures and limitations listed below, which must be observed when the product is taken into service to maintain compliance with the above Directives.

Field connection to maintain product compliance with CE certification

This product should only be used with high quality, shielded cables and be terminated with metal-bodied connectors.

The cable shield should be connected to the designated ground or frame pins at the originating end of the cable, where possible.

Any other cable type or configuration may result in degraded performance due to electromagnetic interference.

This product should not be used in an electromagnetic field that is amplitude modulated by an audio frequency signal (20Hz to 20KHz) as the signal to noise ratio may be degraded.

The product should only be operated with the power supply provided, connected to the specified voltage mains.

The unit should not be operated in wet or extremely humid environments.

To avoid damage from static electricity always observe safe grounding and handling procedures.

If operating the unit in lighting prone areas or areas where electrical mains may fluctuate, the use of lighting protection and uninterruptible power supplies is recommended.

UL/FCC Compliance

All Alcorn McBride products meet UL design guidelines.

Products with Internal Power Supplies

All internal power supplies are UL certified.

Products with External Power Supplies

All external power supplies are UL certified class 2.

FCC Declaration of Conformity

All Alcorn McBride products meet or exceed FCC standards for Class B digital devices under FCC Part 15, Subpart B. The products identified above also meet or exceed CISPR22, EN550224 and EN50082 standards.

Warranty

5 Year Product Warranty

If you’re expecting to see a lot of legal mumbo jumbo here, you’re in for a pleasant surprise. We handle warranty issues in as straightforward a fashion as we run the rest of our business. Have you ever wondered how a manufacturer can have so little confidence in their products that they’re only willing to provide a 90 day warranty? It makes us wonder. Here’s our warranty:

If your product breaks within five years of purchasing it from us (one year for ShowTouch) or one of our dealers or distributors, we’ll repair or replace it (at our discretion) for free. You pay to get it to us, we pay to get it back. If you need to return a product, please call to obtain an RMA for merchandise credit (less a restocking fee).

There’s not much fine print. The only other proviso is that if, in our opinion, the product was abused (mounting it to the wheel of an all-terrain vehicle, trying to power it from a lightning rod, etc.) then we’re going to charge you for time and materials to fix it, or at least to cover funeral expenses.

Frankly, this stuff doesn’t break much. Don’t block the ventilation holes (unless you’re mounting it under Shamu’s tank, but that’s another story) and it will last you for years.
