Section 2 – Safety Information
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 maintenance to any part is undertaken.
'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

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
The Duality console uses auto-ranging power supplies so voltage range setting is not necessary. Some 3rd party sub-
systems however may have user-selectable voltage inlets. Always confirm that the input mains voltage range is set correctly
before applying power. Always isolate the mains supply before changing the input range setting.
If 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.
