MSE-218SP User Manual 

v1.1 February 2013 

 

3.5 - Powering up the MSE-218SP 

When mains power is supplied, the power supply automatically detects the supply voltage 
and adjusts itself accordingly.  Once the display has gone through the “initializing” stage, 
the screen will show the unit name and current preset recalled, and is then ready for use. 

Important  Note:   

When  connecting  the  MSE-218SP  to  mains  power  supplies,  always 

connect  the  PowerCON  first,  and  then  connect  to  the  mains  supply.    Similarly  when 
disconnecting, always disconnect from the mains supply first.  Failure to do this can cause 
arcs within the PowerCON connector, which can cause the amplifier to detect a fault and 
require resetting. 

Electrical Safety Issues 

Please pay close attention to the following electrical and safety issues: 

a)

 

 The MSE-218SP requires a grounded mains outlet.  Always use a grounded outlet 
and plug. 

b)

 

Never use a ground-lifting adapter or cut the earth pin or cable. 

c)

 

Do not exceed the 20-amp current capability of the PowerCON input connector.  
When connecting multiple loudspeakers together, consider the current 
requirements of 

all

 loudspeakers in the circuit – including the first one. 

d)

 

Ensure that the AC power connector for the mains outlet has the appropriate rating 
for the planned total current draw, and is also suitable for the area the loudspeaker 
is being used in. 

e)

 

Do not use the loudspeaker if the power cables are frayed or broken. 

f)

 

Keep all liquids away from the units to avoid hazards from electrical shock.
