Select a space in suitable E.I.A. standard rack to locate the unit. Determine the local electrical power supply voltage. As supplied from the factory, your AES-403 is setup for 100 – 240 V.A.C. 50 - 60 Hz. No external adjustment for local power standards is necessary if power available conforms to the above rating.
The unit features a front panel headphone output and volume control for easy confidence monitoring. The AES-403 can be used as a totally automatic switcher sensing loss of clock or any error displayed on the front panel to command the switcher to select the alternate feed.
