2. Install the appropriate power cord.
AC power passes through an IEC-standard mains connector and an RF filter de-
signed to meet the standards of all international safety authorities.
The power cord is terminated in a “U-ground” plug (USA standard), or CEE7 / 7
plug (Continental Europe), as appropriate to your 8500S’s Model Number. The
green/yellow wire is connected directly to the 8500S chassis.
If you need to change the plug to meet your country’s standard and you are
qualified to do so, see Figure 2-1. Otherwise, purchase a new mains cord with the
correct line plug attached.
3. Mount the 8500S in a rack.
The 8500S requires one standard rack unit (1 ¾ inches / 6.4 cm).
There should be a good ground connection between the rack and the 8500S
chassis — check this with an ohmmeter to verify that the resistance is less than
0.5
Ω
.
Mounting the unit over large heat-producing devices (such as a vacuum-tube
power amplifier) may shorten component life and is not recommended. Ambient
temperature should not exceed 45
°
C (113
°
F) when equipment is powered.
Equipment life will be extended if the unit is mounted away from sources of vi-
bration, such as large blowers and is operated as cool as possible.
4. Connect inputs and outputs.
See the hookup and grounding information on the following pages.
