Installation General Installation Instructions Please consider besides these general instructions also any product-specifi c instructions in the “Installation” chapter of this manual. Unpacking Check the equipment for any transport damage. If the unit is mechanically damaged, if liquids have been spilled or if objects have fallen into the unit, it must not be connected to the AC power outlet, or it must be immediately disconnected by unplugging the power cable.
Page 5
Installation / EMC Class I Equipment (Mains Operation) Should the equipment be delivered without a matching mains cable, the latter has to be prepared by a trained person using the attached female plug (IEC 320 / C13 or IEC 320 / C19) with respect to the applicable regulations in your country.
Page 6
EMC / Maintenance / ESD • Use a system grounding concept that satisfi es the safety requirements (class I equipment must be connected with a protective ground conduc- tor) and that also takes into consideration the EMC require ments. When deciding between radial, surface, or combined grounding, the advantages and disadvantages should be carefully evaluated in each case.
Page 7
ESD / Repair • When performing a repair by replacing complete assemblies, the removed assembly must be sent back to the supplier in the same packing material in which the replacement assembly was shipped. If this should not be the case, any claim for a possible refund will be null and void.

Repair / Disposal SMD Components Studer has no commercially available SMD components in stock for ser- vice purposes. For repair, the corresponding devices have to be purchased locally. The specifi cations of special components can be found in the service manual.

Beyond these specifi cations, possible problems are described below. Ambient Temperature Units and systems by Studer are generally designed for an ambient tempera- ture range (i.e. temperature of the incoming air) of +5 °C to +40 °C. When rack mounting the units, the intended air fl ow and herewith adequate cooling must be provided.

D19 MasterSync Redundancy: Two D19 MasterSync units may be connected with a cable (order no. 1.680.025.81). Both units then must be fed with the same sync signal and must have identical settings. In case of a malfunction, the supply as well as the AES/EBU and word clock signals are taken from the second unit.
