Section2 – Safety Considerations

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.

Definitions

'Maintenance'

All maintenance must be carried out by fully trained personnel.

Note: It is advisable to observe suitable ESD precautions when maintaining electronic assemblies.

'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, TV, radio broadcast or similar studio wherein it will perform to specification providing that it is installed

according to professional practice.

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:

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.

Installation Instructions

Voltage Selection and Fusing

All C100HDS systems use auto-ranging power supplies. These are designed to operate at input voltages in the range 100

to 240VAC (±10%) so do not require setting to suit the local supply.

If, where fitted, 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.

• High voltages

• High energy stored in capacitors

• High currents available from DC power busses

• Hot component surfaces.
