Z1 Operating Manual
Z1 requires a mains power supply with IEC connector on the left hand side. Z1 will work
on a mains voltage in the range of 85V-250V AC, 50 or 60 Hz.
The unit is cooled only by natural convection, so it is necessary to allow adequate space
around the unit to ensure that air flow is not obstructed.
Please take the normal precautions for siting an electronic instrument. Do not place on
a source of direct heat, in direct sunlight, or near another instrument that may result in
interference with either’s operation.
The following statement is provided to comply with FCC regulations in the U.S.A., but
the precautions and corrective measures are applicable worldwide:
Z1 Installation
General
WARNING: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with this instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.
Z1 and its accessories have been tested to exceed the requirements of the above
FCC rules, however this does not guarantee that interference will not occur, especially
if connected to other devices that do not comply with these rules. If interference is
experienced after installation of this equipment turn it off to determine whether it is the
source. If interference is still experienced try to correct the situation by one or more of
the following measures:
• Relocate either Z1 and its associated equipment and cabling or
the equipment affected by the interference.
• Utilise different mains power outlets. Try installing a filter in the mains
lead of Z1 or the other equipment.
• In the case of radio interference where 300 ohm ribbon antennas are
used, try changing to 75 ohm coaxial cable.
If for any reason you should need additional information relating to radio and TV
interference, you may find a booklet prepared by the Federal Communications
Commission helpful: “How to Identify and Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems”.
