Servicing Precautions – General Notes
Service personnel: Service work should be carried out by technically qualified service personnel
only. Mains power is dangerous and can kill. Do not attempt to work on a
linear or switched mode power supply if you are not suitably qualified to do
so. Do not attempt to repair surface mount circuit assemblies unless you are
suitably qualified and have the necessary facilities to do so. Replacement
circuit assemblies can be ordered.
Service facilities: Ensure a suitably sized work surface is available. Ensure this is clear of dirt,
debris and obstructions which may damage the equipment surfaces. Ensure
adequate lighting. Use the correct tools for the job and ensure they are in
good working order. Ensure all workshop safety requirements are adhered
to.
Service information: Check that you have all the information you need before starting the service
job. Refer to the Allen & Heath web site or contact Allen & Heath technical
support for details on the latest information. Full technical information can
be downloaded from the web site Distributor Zone (password required).
Mains power: Connect the equipment to mains power only of the type described in the
user guide and marked on the rear panel. The power source must provide a
good ground connection. Ensure you always use an isolation transformer
when working on any mains power supply unit.
Mains cord and fuse: Use the correct power cord as supplied with the equipment. Do not remove
or tamper with the ground connection in the power cord. Heed the
Important Mains Plug Wiring Instructions printed in the user guide if it is
necessary to rewire the mains cord. Always replace the equipment mains
fuse with the correct type and rating as described in the user guide and
marked on the equipment panel.
Opening the unit: Switch off and remove the mains power cord before opening the equipment.
Ensure all power supply covers and safety shields are in place before
applying power with the unit open for diagnostic fault finding.
Closing the unit: Before finishing, check the quality and accuracy of the service work carried
out. Remove any dirt or debris as this may cause equipment failure in the
future. Ensure all assemblies, harnesses and connectors are correctly
aligned and plugged in. Ensure that jumper settings and control
configurations are correctly set according to the requirements of the
customer.
Testing the unit: Before operating the equipment, read and adhere to the Important Safety
Instructions printed in the user guide. Test that the service work has been
successfully carried out.
Shipping the unit: Use adequate packing such as the original packaging or purpose designed
