Unpacking

Your Bogen equipment was carefully checked before leaving the factory; inspect the shipping container and unit closely for improper handling. If the unit has been damaged, make an immediate claim to the distributor from whom it was purchased. If the unit was shipped directly to you, save all shipping materials and notify the carrier immediately and place a claim.

Wiring and Grounding Precautions

The MCP35A master control panel of the PI and SI products operates from a 120V 60Hz AC source and con- sumes approximately 100 watts. The AC line cord is terminated in a three-prong plug, and should be plugged into an appropriate three-wire grounded outlet. It is important that the unit be properly grounded. Three-prong pigtail adapters may be used only if the ground lug is properly grounded.

Auxiliary Power Receptacle

An 840-watt, three-wire grounded outlet is provided on the rear panel for power auxiliary equipment. Equipment connected to this outlet will be grounded only if the MCP35A control panel is properly grounded.
