WARNING!

HIGH VOLTAGES PRESENT!

FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY, PLEASE READ THIS OPERATING
MANUAL THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING THIS PIECE OF
EQUIPMENT.

Please note the following:

->Be aware that the 10pin cinch sockets at the rear of the PS6 tray back block are
live at 275V whenever the unit is powered on. Don't place hands, or anything else on
unused tray slots, or near cinch connectors when in use.

->Never plug in a CA-286 module while the PS6 Power Supply is on.

->Never operate a CA-286 module without the protective cage covering the circuit
board assembly.

->Never swap transformers on a CA-286 module while the PS6 Power Supply is on.

->This unit must be installed in such a manner that operator access to the Main AC
plug is maintained and accessible. To reduce risk of electric shock, it is essential that
the unit is powered off and/or disconnected from Main AC power before any
installation or maintenance procedures begin.

->This equipment is not to be mounted in an area prone to excessive vibration (like a
drum riser or sub cabinet) or high SPL sound levels. Doing so could introduce
unwanted artifacts and can damage the unit.

->This equipment is not intended for use in hazardous environments. It must be used
and stored in studio conditions, such that the ambient relative humidity does not
exceed 80%, nor is the temperature to be allowed to drop to a level which would
cause excessive moisture buildup in the unit.

->Please insure that adequate ventilation is provided and that the PSU chassis and
any installed PS6 MODULE ventilation slots are not obstructed. When rack mounting
this equipment in a tightly sealed space, a small fan may be required to provide
sufficient airflow.

->In the event that this unit has been dropped or has suffered any impact damage, an
electrical safety test must be carried out by a qualified technician or shipped back to
Coil Audio LLC for service before reconnection to the Main AC power. Please do not
attempt to service the unit yourself.
