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.
2.1 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, dubbing, film, TV, radio broadcast or similar studio wherein it will perform to specification
providing that it is installed according to professional practice.
2.3 Installation
Voltage Selection and Fusing
The X-Rack unit has an auto-sensing power supply that can operate on 100 – 230V without adjustment.
The X-Rack power supply module is internally fused. If the fuse should fail for any reason the unit should be
returned to Solid State Logic for repair/replacement as appropriate.
Safety Earth Connection
Any mains powered item of Solid State Logic equipment that is supplied with a 3-core mains lead (whether
connectorised or not) should always have the earth wire connected to the mains supply ground. This is the safety
earth and grounds the exposed metal parts of the racks and cases and should not be removed for any reason.
Note that the earth stud provided on the rear of the equipment is a functional earth not a safety earth.
2.2 Electrical Safety Warning
When installing or servicing any item of Solid State Logic equipment with power applied, when cover
and/or blank 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.
