1.1 Utilization for the Purpose Intended
The SCore Live system is intended for professional use.
It is presumed that the unit is operated only by trained personnel. Servicing
is reserved to skilled technicians.
The electrical connections may be connected only to the voltages and signals
designated in this manual.
1.2 First Steps
1.2.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Your new system is shipped in a special packing which protects the units
against mechanical shock during transit. Care should be exercised when
unpacking so that the surfaces do not get marred.
Check the condition of the equipment for signs of shipping damage. If there
should be any complaints you should immediately notify the forwarding agent
and your nearest Studer distributor.
Please retain the original packing material because it offers the best protection
in case your equipment ever needs to be transported.
1.2.2 Installation
Safety Notice
If the SCore Live frame is freestanding, live parts of the power supply units
might get touched. In order to reduce the risk of electric shock make sure that
the SCore Live frame is never operated outside of its 19” rack.
Primary Voltage The power supply units are auto-ranging; they can be used for mains voltages
in a range of 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz.
Power Connection The attached female IEC 320/C13 mains cable sockets have to be connected
to appropriate mains cables by a trained technician, respecting your local
regulations. Refer to the ‘Installation, Operation, and Waste Disposal’ chapter
at the beginning of this document.
Earthing This equipment must be earthed, due to the mains input filter network be ing
connected to the mains earth.
Some consideration must be given to the earthing arrangement of the sy stem,
at the center of which is the frame. The frame is earthed to the mains earth via
the power supply. Ground loops may occur if signal processing equip ment
patched to the frame has its signal earth commoned to the equip ment chassis.
Thermal Considerations The unit must not be used in conditions of excessive heat or cold, near any
source of moisture, in excessively humid environments, or in positions where
it is likely to be subjected to vibration or dust. The ambient temperature range
for normal operation of the unit is +5...+40° C.
Under standard circumstances (open 19’ frame) and an ambient temperature
b5 and +40° C, the power dissipations listed below must not be
exceeded . Please note that these figures may change for special environments,
such as air-conditioned machine rooms, etc.
Principal Rule The cooler the better – a temperature increase of only 10° C (18° F) reduces
component lifetime by 50%!
