PRECAUTIONS
This equipment is supplied by a mains voltage that can cause electric shock injury!
The following special limitations must be observed in order to maintain safety and electromagnetic compatibility performance.
Power
The internal power supply is a switch mode type that automatically senses the incoming mains voltage and will work where the nominal voltage is in the range 100V a.c. to 240V a.c.
A single, fused IEC mains inlet is provided on the rear panel. The correct lead for connection in the area to which the unit was shipped is supplied with the unit. The equipment should only be plugged into the mains outlet using the supplied lead.
When removing the equipment’s electric plug from an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cable, as pulling out the plug by the cable can damage it, and never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Grounding
In the event of ground loop problems, use the earth LIFT switches provided on both sets of outputs (rear panel). If you have ground loop problems relating to the inputs, use a DI box, for example, Klark Teknik’s DN100, to provide isolation.
Handling the equipment
Before moving the equipment, disconnect it from the mains, and when lifting or moving it, always take its size and weight into consideration.
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, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power from the a.c. outlet. Then have the equipment inspected by the manufacturer's qualified service personnel.
Installation
Before installing and connecting up the equipment, check that both the mains supply and the quality of earthing are adequate for the equipment. Also check that the mains power supply voltage rating corresponds with the local mains power supply and that the mains fuse is of the correct type and rating.
Unless advised otherwise, optional equipment must only be installed by service personnel and in accordance with the appropriate assembly and usage regulations.
Location
Ideally, a cool, well ventilated area is preferred, away from power distribution equipment or other potential sources of interference. Do not install this equipment in a location subjected to excessive heat, dust or mechanical vibration and keep the equipment out of direct sunlight. Where necessary use fan cooled racks.
This unit is only intended for rack mounting.
Audio connections
To ensure the correct and reliable operation of your Square ONE Splitter, 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 unit and should have Pin 1 connected to the cable screen.
