recording, mixing, TV, radio broadcast or similar studio wherein it will perform to specification providing
that it is installed according to professional practice.
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.
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.
