Installation

3.0Installation

3.1Voltage Selection

Before connecting the mains supply ensure that the voltage range selector next to the IEC socket on the rear of the unit is correctly set. The input setting must be confirmed before applying power. The input module can be configured to be one of 4 voltage settings. The setting is indicated by a plastic pin protruding through the appropriate hole in the fuse panel.

The setting is altered by a small vertical PCB which can be fitted in 4 positions.

To change the setting:

Switch off and remove the IEC lead.

Using a small flat-bladed screwdriver, lever open the fuse panel to the right of the connector.

At the right hand side is a vertical PCB with a plastic key which indicates the setting. Using pliers, pull out the PCB.

The PCB has to be rotated until the desired voltage is shown along the edge which plugs into the module. The plastic key (and this bit is quite fiddly) must also be rotated so that it points out of the module and so that the round pin aligns with the appropriate hole in the cover panel; (refer to the diagrams opposite).

Re-insert the PCB and replace the fuse panel. The plastic pin should project through the appropriate hole.

3.2Mounting

The XLogic unit is designed to be rack mounted. It is 1RU (44.5mm/1.75 inch) high. Its depth is:

325 mm/12.8 inches not including heatsink

365 mm/14.3 inches including heatsink

400 mm/15.75 inches including connectors

Please note that the rack ears of early XLogic Mic Amp units are not capable of supporting the full weight of the unit. Therefore if the unit is to be rack-mounted, it must either be mounted on suitable rack shelves or be fitted with a pair of support brackets to reinforce the rack ears – do not rely on just the basic front panel for rack-mounting the unit. Later XLogic Mic Amp units incorporate reinforcement brackets into the chassis and so are suitable for direct rack-mounting. Should your unit require them, pairs of support brackets (SSL Part No.: 629943XR) are available from your local distributor.

A 1RU space must be left above each unit to ensure adequate ventilation.

3.3Standalone Operation

Before mounting the unit in the rack check that the front panel displays are correct by powering up the unit. Section 3.6 describes how to set the displays for your installation.

If several units are to be mounted in the same rack then the headphone monitor and talkback bus should be connected between the units by connecting the ‘MON IN’ and ‘MON OUT’ connectors on adjacent units, using the supplied RJ11-RJ11 cable (SSL Part No.66C67240).

The headphone output monitors any channel selected to ‘MON’ plus an external talkback input. The talkback input can be connected to a line level console talkback output if required. This signal is bussed between units on the monitor link cables. Use an RJ11 to female XLR adaptor (SSL Part No. 66C67241) to connect talkback to a free MON IN or MON OUT connector. One adaptor cable is supplied with each unit.

Once these connection have been made apply power to the unit(s). Ensure that the yellow ‘REMOTE’ LED on the right of the front panel is not lit. If it is lit, use a small screwdriver or similar to turn off the recessed ‘REMOTE’ switch below the LED. Finally connect the male XLR connectors on the rear of the unit to the line level inputs of your console or recorder and your microphones to the XLR inputs on the front of the unit.
