3 Precautions Important Safety Warnings [Power] Caution Operate unit only on the specified supply voltage. Disconnect power cord by connector only. Do not pull on cable portion. Stop [Grounding] Do not place or drop heavy or sharp-edged objects on power cord. A damaged cord can cause fire or electrical shock hazards. Regularly check power cord for excessive wear or damage to avoid possible fire / electrical hazards. Caution Hazard Ensure unit is properly grounded at all times to prevent electrical shock hazard. Do not ground the unit to gas lines, units, or fixtures of an explosive or dangerous nature. Ensure power cord is firmly plugged into AC outlet. Caution [Operation] Hazard Hazard Do not operate unit in hazardous or potentially explosive atmospheres. Doing so could result in fire, explosion, or other dangerous results. Do not allow liquids, metal pieces, or other foreign materials to enter the unit. Doing so could result in fire, other hazards, or unit malfunction. [Transportation] If foreign material does enter the unit, turn power off and disconnect power cord immediately. Remove material and contact authorized service representative if damage has occurred. Caution Handle with care to avoid shocks in transit. Shocks may cause malfunction. When you need to transport the unit, use the original packing materials or alternate adequate packing.

4 [Circuitry Access] Do not remove covers, panels, casing, or access circuitry with power applied to the unit! Turn power off and disconnect power cord prior to removal. Internal servicing / adjustment of unit should only be performed by qualified personnel. Stop Do not touch any parts / circuitry with a high heat factor. Capacitors can retain enough electric charge to cause mild to serious shock, even after power is disconnected. Capacitors associated with the power supply are especially hazardous. Avoid contact with any capacitors. Hazard Unit should not be operated or stored with cover, panels, and / or casing removed. Operating unit with circuitry exposed could result in electric shock / fire hazards or unit malfunction. [Potential Hazards] Caution If abnormal smells or noises are noticed coming from the unit, turn power off immediately and disconnect power cord to avoid potentially hazardous conditions. If problems similar to above occur, contact authorized service representative before attempting to again operate unit. [Rack Mount Brackets, Ground Terminal, and Rubber Feet] Caution To rack mount or ground the unit, or to install rubber feet, do not use screws or materials other than those supplied. Otherwise, it may cause damage to the internal circuits or components of the unit. If you remove the rubber feet attached on the unit, do not reinsert the screws securing the rubber feet. [Consumables] Caution The consumables used in unit must be replaced periodically. For further details on which parts are consumables and when they should be replaced, refer to the specifications at the end of the Operation Manual. Since the service life of the consumables varies greatly depending on the environment in which they are used, they should be replaced at an early date. For details on replacing the consumables, contact your dealer.

5 Upon Receipt Unpacking VDA-106A units and their accessories are fully inspected and adjusted prior to shipment. Operation can be performed immediately upon completing all required connections and operational settings. Check your received items against the packing lists below. ITEM QTY REMARKS VDA-106A 1 Select the voltage range between 200 V or 100 V AC before purchasing AC Cord 1 Rubber Feet 1 set Operation Manual 1 Option ITEM QTY REMARKS Rack mount bracket set (type 1) Rack mount bracket set (type 2) 1 set 1 set For mounting single unit to an EIA 1RU rack space. For mounting two units to an EIA 1RU rack space. Check Check to ensure no damage has occurred during shipment. If damage has occurred, or items are missing, inform your supplier immediately. Rack Mounting The VDA-106A can be either single or dual mounted in EIA standard rack units. The rack mounting requires a purchase of one of the two available rack mount kits. When mounting single unit the single mount kit with one extended rack ear must be used. When mounting two units the dual mount kit with standard size rack ears must be used. Consult your FOR-A supplier to order either of these options. IMPORTANT To change the voltage range from 200 V to 100 V, or vice versa, after purchasing products, consult your FOR-A reseller. Components need to be replaced in the FOR-A factory.
