General Precautions
Avoid storing or using the console in conditions of excessive heat or cold, or in
positions where it is likely to be subject to vibration, dust or moisture. Do not use
any liquids to clean the fascia of the unit: a soft dry brush is ideal. Use only water
or ethyl alcohol to clean the trim and scribble strips. Other solvents may cause
damage to paint or plastic parts.
Avoid using the console close to strong sources of electromagnetic radiation (e.g.
video monitors, high power electric cabling): this may cause degradation of the
audio quality due to induced voltages in connecting leads and chassis. For the same
reason, always site the console power supply away from the unit .
Caution!
In all cases, refer servicing to qualified personnel.
Handling and Transport
The console is a very rugged unit, designed for long service. However, care in
handling and transportation will ensure a long and trouble-free life. If the console
is to be regularly moved we recommend that it is installed in a foam lined flight
case. At all times avoid applying excessive force to any knobs, switches or
connectors.
Power supplies & cables
Always make sure that the power supplies have been set to the same source voltage
as the mains supply.
Always use the power supplies and power cables supplied with the console: the use
of alternative supplies may cause damage and voids the warranty; the extension of
power cables may result in malfunction of the console.
Warning!
Always switch the power supplies off before connecting or
disconnecting the console power cable, removing or installing
modules, and servicing. In the event of an electrical storm, or large
mains voltage fluctuations, immediately switch off the PSU and
unplug from the mains.
Always ensure that that you use the correct power supply for your console. Each
Series 10 console requires the CPS150 power supply.
