SONOSAX SX-S - Manual (Page 2)

autonomy, use only professional alkaline D-cells. Also check the manufacture date of D-cells.
32.
33. 1.5 Closing the battery compartment
34. Replace the plastic side cover.
35. NOTE : Certain D-Cells are longer than standard D-Cell batteries and slight difficulty may be found in closing the compartment if such batteries are used. Your nearest
SONOSAX agent or the manufacturer in Switzerland can provide assistance should a problem arise due to this difference in length.
36. Replace the battery compartment while holding in the slide-locks and making sure the power contacts are correctly positioned.
37. The battery compartment is in place when the slide-locks return easily to their original position.
38.
39. 1.6 External power supply (also refer to 2.2 and 2.3)
40. SONOSAX SX-S mixers can be powered from a 9-15V DC (SX-S6) or 11-15 DC (SX-S8/10) power supply capable of delivering at least 1.5A. Average power
consumption is approximately 500mA.
41. The DC power supply input connector (LEMO, Type FGJ IB 303CLLD62, SONOSAX Part nb. 860202) is located on the rear panel of the SONOSAX mixer. Pin No.3 is
allocated to the NiCd batteries charge current. Nominal current is 400mA and nominal charging time is 15 hours.
42. WARNING : DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHARGE D-CELL BATTERIES.

46. 1.8 Fuses
47. Your SONOSAX SX-S is protected against overloads and reversed polarity by two T2.5A fuses located : INSIDE THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT (ON THE RIGHT). To
replace the fuse,remove the cover on the right of the battery compartment with the hex wrench.NOTE : Here you will find spare T2.5A fuses .
• ON THE EXTERNAL DC PC BOARD. Located below the two faders of the master module. To gain access to this fuse, remove the bottom of the SX-S mixer with
the hex wrench.

52. 2. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
53.
54. 2.1 Switching on the SONOSAX mixer
55. Using D-cells or NiCd batteries:
56. Depress POWER push-button on the master module. The two control LEDs of the modulometer should light up within 3 seconds. If they do not light up:
• Check that batteries have been inserted correctly inside the battery compartment.
• If necessary change the batteries.
57. Using the Sonosax external power supply:
58. IMPORTANT : Before turning on the unit, make sure the voltage selector is correctly positioned at either 110V or 220V depending on local current supply. If needed,
change selector position by using a screwdriver, a ball point pen or similar instrument. At 110V, the mixer may be powered from 100 to 125V , 50 to 60 Hertz; at 220V,
from 200 to 260V, 50 to 60 Hertz.
59. Newer SX-S Mixers use an autoranging power supply. It may be powered from 100 to 250 VAC 50 to 100 Hertz.
• The POWER button on the master module should not be pressed while using the external power supply or while charging accumulators.
• The GND button separates the SX-S from ground (in case of ground loop).
60.
61. 2.2 Using an external power supply
62. Apply current indicated (see 1.6) between points 1 (+) and 2 (0V) of the LEMO connector. Do not press the "POWER" button while using an external power supply or
while charging accumulators.
63.
64. 2.3 Battery test
65. When BATT TEST push-button is depressed, the LEDs of the modulometer will indicate the average charge per cell (minimum 1V, maximum 1.5V).
66.
67. 2.4 Low charge alarm
68. When the average charge per cell reaches 1.05V, the two LEDs will automatically start to blink. This alarm means that about 10 to 20 minutes remain before the mixer
automatically turns off. This auto-stop protects the accumulators from excessive discharge.
69.
70. 2.5 Charging the NiCd batteries
71. WITH SONOSAX SX-S POWER SUPPLY :
72. This external accessory will automatically charge the NiCd batteries while the mixer is being used. Simply press the charge 0,4A button. The green "CHARGE" LED on
the power supply as well as the green LED on the Master Module should light up. Nominal charge current is 400mA and nominal charging time is 15 hours.
73. WITH ANOTHER EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY :
74. Apply current charge of 400mA to pin 3 of the LEMO connector. Nominal charging time is 15 hours.
75. IMPORTANT: Never charge D-Cell batteries!
