INTRODUCTION

SAFETY NOTICES

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY AND TO AVOID INVALIDATION OF THE WARRANTY PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY.

SAFETY SYMBOL GUIDE

For your own safety and to avoid invalidation of the warranty all text marked with these symbols should be read carefully.

WARNINGS

The lightning ash with arrowhead symbol, is intended to alert the user to the presence of un-insulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufcient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

CAUTIONS

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

NOTES

Contain important information and useful tips on the operation of your equipment.

HEADPHONES SAFETY WARNING

Contain important information and useful tips on headphone outputs and monitoring levels.

ESD WARNING

The crossed-out hand symbol is intended to alert the user to devices sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Please refer to the instructions on page 6.

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED. Under no circumstances should the safety

earth be disconnected from the mains lead.

The mains supply disconnect device is the mains plug. It must remain accessible so as to be readily operable when the apparatus is in use.

If any part of the mains cord set is damaged, the complete cord set should be replaced. The following information is for reference only. The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Earth (Ground): Green and Yellow (US - Green/Yellow) Neutral: Blue (US - White)

Live (Hot): Brown (US - Black) As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured Green and Yellow must be connected to the terminal

in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol.

The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal in the plug

which is marked with the letter N.

The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal in the plug

which is marked with the letter L.

Ensure that these colour codes are followed carefully in the event of the plug being changed.

This unit is capable of operating over a range of mains voltages as marked on the rear panel.

The internal power supply unit contains no user serviceable parts. Refer all servicing to a qualied service engineer, through the appropriate Soundcraft dealer.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)

Many semiconductor components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). The lifespan of assemblies contain ing such components can be drastically reduced by improper handling during maintenance and repair. Please observe the following rules when handling ESD sensitive components:

ESD sensitive components should only be stored and transported in the

•

packing material specically provided for this purpose.

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.

Unpacked ESD sensitive components should only be handled in ESD protected

•

areas (EPA, e.g. area for eld service, repair or service bench) and only be touched by persons wearing a wristlet connected to the ground potential of the repair or service bench by a series resistor. The equipment to be repaired or serviced as well as all tools and electrically semi-conducting work, storage, and oor mats should also be connected to this ground potential.

The terminals of ESD sensitive components must not come in uncontrolled

•

contact with electro statically chargeable or metallic surfaces (voltage puncture, discharge shock hazard).

To prevent the components from undened transient stress and possible

•

damage due to inadmissible voltages or compensation currents, electrical connections should only be established or separated when the equipment is switched off and after any capacitor charges have decayed.
