Quick Reference Guide
Handling the equipment
Completely isolate the equipment electrically
and disconnect all cables from the equipment
before moving it.
When lifting or moving the equipment, always
take its size and weight into consideration.
Use suitable lifting equipment or transporting
gear, or sufficient additional personnel.
Do not insert your fingers or hand in any gaps
or openings on the equipment, for example,
vents.
Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects,
such as paper, plastic, metal etc., into any
gaps or openings on the equipment, for
example, vents. If this happens, immediately
disconnect the equipment from the AC mains;
see “Safety warnings” on page xi. Then have
the equipment inspected by the
manufacturer's qualified service personnel.
Do not press or rub on the sensitive surface of
the GUI screens.
If the glass of the GUI screen is broken, liquid
crystals shouldn’t leak through the break due
to the surface tension of the thin layer and the
type of construction of the LCD panel.
However, in the unlikely event that you do
make contact with this substance, please wash
it out with soap.
Installation
Before installing the equipment:
• Make sure the equipment is correctly
connected to the protective earth conductor
of the mains voltage supply of the system
installation through the mains leads.
• Power to the equipment must be via a fused
spur(s).
• Power plugs must be inserted in socket
outlets provided with protective earth
contacts. The electrical supply at the
socket outlets must provide appropriate
over-current protection.
• Both the mains supply and the quality of
earthing must be adequate for the
equipment.
• Before connecting up the equipment, check
that the mains power supply voltage rating
corresponds with the local mains power
supply. The rating of the mains power
supply voltage is printed on the equipment.
Location
Ideally a cool area is preferred, away from
power distribution equipment or other
potential sources of interference.
Do not install the equipment in places of poor
ventilation.
Do not install this equipment in a location
subjected to excessive heat, dust or
mechanical vibration. Allow for adequate
ventilation around the equipment, making sure
that its fans and vents are not obstructed.
Wherever possible, keep the equipment out of
direct sunlight.
Do not place the equipment in an unstable
condition where it might accidentally fall over.
Make sure that the mains voltage and fuse
rating information of the equipment will be
visible after installation.
Audio connections
To ensure the correct and reliable operation of
your equipment, only high quality balanced,
screened, twisted pair audio cable should be
used.
XLR connector shells should be of metal
construction so that they provide a screen
when connected to the console and, where
appropriate, they should have Pin 1 connected
to the cable screen.
