The SL series consoles use the SLP5600 external power supply. The SLP5600 power supply is a two space rack mountable power supply which provides the required DC voltages for the SL series.

Power Requirements

It is best to supply the SLP5600 with its own dedicated circuit. This reduces possible loss of power to the console if other circuit breakers are over loaded and tripped. The SLP5600 is supplied with a 6 AMP circuit breaker located on the rear panel. Should this breaker trip, turn off the power switch on the front panel and press in the black and white tab on the breaker. The circuit breaker is a thermal metal breaker, so it may not turn on immediately after trip- ping. Continue pressing every few seconds until the breaker latches. Now turn on the power again, if the breaker trips again, check for the proper cable connections.

Safety Ground

The SLP5600 is supplied with a third wire safety ground connected to the power cord. This should never be defeated. Along with providing the best grounding for the console, the safety ground prevents the possibility of electrical shock if a live wire comes into contact with the chassis. If grounds need to be lifted due to ground loop noises, only lift grounds on signal cables not on the AC power cords.
