SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The Rackpower 320 is designed to operate with 120VAC, 60 Hz. Operation with 220 or
240 volts will damage the unit and possibly cause personal injury.

Follow the test procedure indicated on the Ground Fault Interupt Circuit before each use.
Do not use the Rackpower 320 if the unit fails this test.

CAUTIONS

1. Although the Rackpower 320 is a ground loop control device and has ground
lift capability, the Rackpower 320 device itself must be grounded. Defeating the unit’s
grounding capability could create a hazard.

2. There are no user serviceable parts inside the Rackpower 320. Do not attempt
service yourself. Contact Juice Goose as directed in this manual if service is required.

3. The Ground Fault Interrupt Circuit will not protect from electric shock due to
defects in the main power supply line or from contacting both the hot and neutral circuit
conductors at the same time.

4. Do not expose the Rackpower 320 to moisture. Avoid severe physical impacts
to the unit.

The ground lift capability of this unit is provided for the express purpose of locating and
diagnosing the source of a ground loop occurring between multiple pieces of audio equip­ment. Once located, the ground loop should be corrected at the source and the related
equipment should be re-grounded.
