If you want to dispose this product, do not mix it with general household waste. There is a
separate collection system for used electronic products in accordance with legislation that
requires proper treatment, recover y and recycling.

Private household in the 25 member states of the EU, in Switzerland and Norway may return their used
electronic products free of charge to designated collection facilities or to a retailer (if you purchase a similar
new one).

For Countries not mentioned above, please contact your local authorities for a correct method of disposal.

By doing so you will ensure that your disposed product undergoes the necessary treatment, recovery and
recycling and thus prevent potential negative effects on the environment and human health.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

The symbols shown above are internationally accepted symbols that warn of potential
hazards with electrical products. The lightning flash with arrowpoint in an equilateral triangle
means that there are dangerous voltages present within the unit. The exclamation point
in an equilateral triangle indicates that it is necessary for the user to refer to the owner’s
manual.

These symbols warn that there are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not open the
unit. Do not attempt to service the unit yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
Opening the chassis for any reason will void the manufacturer’s warranty. Do not get the
unit wet. If liquid is spilled on the unit, shut it off immediately and take it to a dealer for
service. Disconnect the unit during storms to prevent damage.

Safety InStructIonS

NOTICE FOR CUSTOMERS IF YOUR UNIT IS EQUIPPED WITH A POWER CORD.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE SHALL BE CONNECTED TO A MAINS SOCKET OUTLET WITH A PROTECTIVE EARTHING
CONNECTION.

The cores in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

GREEN and YELLOW - Earth BLUE - Neutral BROWN - Live

As colours of the cores in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

WARNING FOR YOUR PROTECTION

READ THE FOLLOWING:

KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS

HEED ALL WARNINGS

FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

THE APPARATUS SHALL NOT BE EXPOSED TO DRIPPING OR
SPLASHING LIQUID AND NO OBJECT FILLED WITHI LIQUID,
SUCH AS VASES, SHALL BE PLACED ON THE APPARATUS.

CLEAN ONLY WITH A DRY CLOTH.

DO NOT BLOCK ANY OF THE VENTILATION OPENINGS.
INSTALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MANUFACTURER’S
INSTRUCTIONS.

DO NOT INSTALL NEAR ANY HEAT SOURCES SUCH AS RA­DIATORS, HEAT REGISTERS, STOVES, OR OTHER APPARATUS
(INCLUDING AMPLIFIERS) THAT PRODUCE HEAT.

ONLY USE ATTACHMENTS/ACCESSORIES SPECIFIED BY THE
MANUFACTURER.

UNPLUG THIS APPARATUS DURING LIGHTNING STORMS OR
WHEN UNUSED FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME.

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding­type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the
other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The wide blade or third prong are provided for your safety.
If the provided plug does not fit your outlet, consult an electrician
for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particu­larly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they
exit from the apparatus.

Use only with the cart stand, tripod bracket, or table specified by
the manufacture, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used,
use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid
injury from tip-over.

•

The core which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug marked with the

letter E, or with the earth symbol, or coloured green, or green and yellow.

•

The core which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal marked N or coloured black.

•

The core which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked L or coloured red.

This equipment may require the use of a different line cord, attachment plug, or both, depending on the
available power source at installation. If the attachment plug needs to be changed, refer servicing to qualified
service personnel who should refer to the table below. The green/yellow wire shall be connected directly to
the units chassis.

WARNING: If the ground is defeated, certain fault conditions in the unit or in the system to which it is connected
can result in full line voltage between chassis and earth ground. Severe injury or death can then result if the
chassis and earth ground are touched simultaneously.

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is
required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such
as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled
or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has
been dropped.

POWER ON/OFF SWITCH: If the equipment has a Power switch,
the Power switch used in this piece of equipment DOES NOT
break the connection from the mains.

MAINS DISCONNECT: The plug shall remain readily operable.
For rack-mount or installation where plug is not accessible, an
all-pole mains switch with a contact separation of at least 3 mm in
each pole shall be incorporated into the electrical installation of the
rack or building.

FOR UNITS EQUIPPED WITH EXTERNALLY ACCESSIBLE FUSE
RECEPTACLE: Replace fuse with same type and rating only.

MULTIPLE-INPUT VOLTAGE: This equipment may require the use
of a different line cord, attachment plug, or both, depending on the
available power source at installation. Connect this equipment only
to the power source indicated on the equipment rear panel. To
reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, refer servicing to qualified
service personnel or equivalent.

If connected to 240V supply, a suitable CSA/UL certified power
cord shall be used for this supply.

3.1 ZonePro Wiring

Zone Controller Installation

The installation of the Zone Controllers MUST be accomplished with the use of cable which is
rated VW-1 or higher. Common NEC designations which meet this rating include: CMP, CMR,
CMG, CM and CMX.

ZC-1 - The ZC-1 is a programmable zone controller that allows input or output volume level
control from a wall panel.

ZC-2 - The ZC-2 is a programmable zone controller that allows input or output volume level
and mute control from a wall panel.

TM

Section 3

ZC-3 - The ZC-3 allows wall panel routing and Actions selection for the SC devices.

ZC-4 - The ZC-4 provides contact closure routing and Actions selection for room combining or

fire safety applications.

ZC-Fire - The ZC-Fire is the interface to generic fire alarm relays. When fire alarm activates,
the general purpose relay can typically be programmed to close if normally open or
vices-versa. The ZC-fire interface unit monitors the state of the relay (n.o. or n.c.) and upon
the state of change, notifies the SC 32/64, which then mutes its outputs.

ZC-6 - The ZC-6 is a push-button up and down input or output volume controller.

ZC-7 - The ZC-7 allows Actions selection for the SC devices.

ZC-8 - The ZC-8 is used for a combination of input or output volume up/down, and four

position source/program select.

ZC-9 - The ZC-9 allows wall panel routing and Actions selection for the SC devices.

ZC-BOB - The ZC-BOB allows parallel or home run cabling of the Zone Controllers.

dbx® incorporates high quality
mechanical fans in some products. All
mechanical fans have a limited life
expectancy. We recommend annual
inspection of fans for dust occlusion
and excessive noise. Fan assemblies
should be replaced after six to ten
years of use. Environmental factors
such as elevated temperature, dust,
and smoke can adversely affect
fan life. Systems exposed to these
conditions should be inspected more
frequently. Fan replacement can be
performed either at the factory or by
an experienced technician in the field.
Please contact dbx Technical Support
for more information on purchasing
replacement parts or product service.

dbx® has a policy of continued product
improvement and accordingly reserves
the right to change features and
specifications without prior notice.
