IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

 
Please read all of these instructions and save them for future reference. Follow all 
warnings and instructions marked on the unit. 
 

 

Do not obstruct air vents in the rear panel. Do not insert objects through any 
apertures. 

 

Do not use a damaged or frayed power cord. 

 

Unplug the unit before cleaning. Clean with a damp cloth only. Do not spill liquid 
on the unit. 

 

Ensure adequate airflow around the unit to prevent overheating. We recommend 
leaving a blank 1U panel above the unit to aid ventilation. 

 

Unplug the unit and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the 
following conditions: If the power cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has entered 
the unit; if the unit has been dropped or the case damaged; if the unit does not 
operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Adjust only those 
controls that are covered by the operating instructions. 

 

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarised or grounding-type plug. A 
polarised plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type 
plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wider blade or the third 
prong is provided for your safety. When the plug provided does not fit into your 
outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. 

 

WARNING: THIS UNIT MUST BE EARTHED BY THE POWER CORD. 
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE MAINS EARTH BE 
DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAINS LEAD. 

 
This unit is supplied with an external power supply dependant on the region in which 
the TrakMaster Pro is purchased. To avoid the risk of fire, replace the mains fuse only 
with the correct value fuse, as marked on the plug. The external power supply unit 
contains no user serviceable parts. Refer all servicing to a qualified service engineer, 
through the appropriate Focusrite dealer. 
 

RACK VENTILATION: PLEASE ENSURE THE TRAKMASTER PRO IS 
PLACED TOWARDS THE BOTTOM OF YOUR EQUIPMENT RACK, 
WITH SUFFICIENT SPACE ABOVE AND BELOW FOR VENTILATION.
