Section 2 Safety Considerations

Section2 – Safety Considerations

This section contains definitions and warnings, and practical information to ensure a safe working environment. Please take time to read this section before undertaking any installation work.

Definitions

‘Maintenance’

All maintenance must be carried out by fully trained personnel. Note: it is advisable to observe suitable ESD precautions when maintenance to any part is undertaken.

‘Non-User Adjustments’

Adjustments or alterations to the equipment may affect the performance such that safety and/or international compliance standards may no longer be met. Any such adjustments must therefore only be carried out by fully trained personnel.

‘Users’

This equipment is designed for use solely by engineers and competent operators skilled in the use of professional audio equipment.

‘Environment’

This product is a class A product intended to form an integrated component part of a professional audio recording, mixing, TV, radio broadcast or similar studio wherein it will perform to specification providing that it is installed according to professional practice.

Electrical Safety Warning

When installing or servicing any item of SSL equipment with power applied, when cover panels are removed, HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS CAN EXIST.

These hazards include:High voltages

High energy stored in capacitors

High currents available from DC power busses

Hot component surfaces.

Any metal jewellery (watches, bracelets, neck-chains and rings) that could inadvertently come into contact with uninsulated parts should always be removed before reaching inside powered equipment.

Installation Instructions

Voltage Selection and Fusing

Although the majority of SSL equipment uses auto-ranging power supplies, some sub-systems have user- selectable voltage inlets. Always confirm that the input mains voltage range is set correctly before applying power. Always isolate the mains supply before changing the input range setting.

If it is ever necessary to replace a blown mains-fuse, then always use the correct rating and type of replacement. If a correctly rated fuse continues to blow, then a fault exists and the cause should be investigated or the unit returned to SSL for repair/replacement as appropriate.

Details of mains settings and correct fuse ratings can be found in Appendix A of this manual.
