performance.
Safety warnings
Signal 0V is connected internally to the
chassis.
To electrically isolate the equipment,
switch off the mains on/off switch at the
rear of unit. Make sure that the power at
the mains outlet is off, and then disconnect
the mains cable from the mains outlet.

General precautions
In the event of ground loop problems,
disconnect the signal screen at one end of the
connecting cables. Note that this can only be
done when the equipment is used within a
balanced system.
Do not remove, hide or deface any warnings or
cautions.
Power
The power supplies contain LETHAL VOLTAGES
greatly in excess of the mains voltage and that
its rails can produce extremely large currents
that could burn out equipment and wiring if
shorted.
The internal power supplies are of the switch
mode type that automatically senses the
incoming mains voltage and will work where the
nominal voltage is in the range 100VAC to
240VAC.
A mains inlet is provided on the rear panel. The
correct lead for connection in the area to which
the unit was shipped is supplied with the unit.
The equipment should only be plugged into the
mains outlet using the supplied lead.
