1. Always use a properly grounded power cord for this product.

Please never remove the ground of the power plug. This connection ensures safe and quiet operation and 
is absolutely necessary for operation. 

2. When installing into a rack, be sure to provide adequate ventilation. 

The top and bottom ventilation slots are not decoration and should never be covered during operation. The
main reason for technical defects are mostly heat problems. In non-ventilated cabinets, use ventilation 
panels (1H) between units (even if they don't look very beautiful) to prevent heat build-up. 

3. Avoid places with strong magnetic fields. 

 

The housings of the device are designed to protect the sensitive electronics from EMI and RFI. For rack 
mounting, be sure to place devices with large power supplies or power amplifiers as far away from the unit
as possible in the rack. A separate routing of signal and power lines can also help to suppress EMI and 
RFI as much as possible. 

4. Protect your device from moisture and water splashes. 

 

If water has entered the housing, disconnect it immediately from the mains and send it to us for inspection 
to prevent major damage. 

5. If you feel unsure about having to open the device

 

 to make settings, check fuses or set / 

remove jumpers, please contact our support team. We're here to help. 

6. Before you open the device 

to change jumpers or make adjustments, be sure to 

unplug 

the power adapter before opening the case.

 Disconnect the device from the mains! Make 

sure that no foreign parts remain in the device after completion of the work.
