With the XT20 off, plug the female end of the power cord into the XT20's
[POWER INPUT] socket and the male (plug) end into a source of AC power. It's
good practice to not turn on the XT20 until all other cables are hooked up.
The XT20 works with any AC voltage from 90 to 250 volts, 50 to 60 Hz. This
eliminates the need for transformers or voltage switches. Your XT20 was
supplied with the correct power cord for your country or local area, however
only the following alternative power cords are approved for use with ADAT:
•
use Alesis UL/CSA power cord #7-41-0001.
•
0004.
•
power cord #7-41-0002.
•
41-0003.
The XT20's IEC-spec AC cord (do not substitute any other AC cord) is designed to
feed an outlet that includes three pins, with the third, round pin connected to
ground. The ground connection is an important safety feature designed to keep
the chassis of electronic devices such as the Alesis ADAT - XT20, BRC and AI-1
at ground potential. Unfortunately, the presence of a third ground pin does not
always indicate that an outlet is properly grounded. Use an AC line tester to
determine this. If the outlet is not grounded, consult with a licensed electrician.
