2.3 Package contents
Your C1.2 should arrive in a substantial carton. Once unpacked this carton and packaging materials should be
stored safely in case you ever need to transport your unit. When moving or transporting the C1.2, this should
always be done in the original packaging.
The carton should contain:
The C1.2 DAC/Controller
Four two-part hardened aluminum/polymer spikes
A suction cup (used to remove the four top covers)
An accessory box containing:
–
an infrared remote control
–
a spike adjustment screwdriver
–
a Torx T-10 screwdriver
–
four support discs
–
four stacking caps
–
a USB stick containing the latest CH Precision firmware
In case of damage to the C1.2 chassis or missing components, please contact your authorized dealer
immediately. If your C1.2 unit is still very cold from transport, please let it warm up to room temperature in
order to avoid condensation developing inside it.
2.4 Placing your C1.2 and installing the spikes
Before positioning your C1.2, it is worth taking the time to make a few preliminary decisions.
Decide how many (and which) inputs you will use. Familiarizing yourself with (and making a note of) their
position on the rear panel will be extremely useful when you come to actually make connections and name/
configure those inputs.
Decide whether you will use the CH Precision supplied leveling/grounding spikes.
If you do plan to use the CH spikes, use the blue suction cup to remove the four circular covers in the top plate
of each unit. Gently insert the hardened aluminum composite spikes into each exposed shaft and use the
short red screwdriver to turn them enough to engage the threads at the bottom of each spike. Each internal
thread is coated with a thin layer of grease during assembly to prevent galling between it and the aluminum
spike, but adding a thin coating of grease to each thread before insertion is still a good idea, making
adjustment easier and more precise.
Do not screw the spikes in too far at this point or they will protrude from the feet and potentially damage the
supporting surface. Do not replace the top-caps yet.
Check that the voltage selector switch on the unit is set to the correct local voltage and that the power switch
is off (the 0 side depressed).
Now you are ready to place your C1.2. The chassis is heavy and the feet are fitted with rubber rings to protect
the supporting surface, which makes it hard to slide the unit. Having a partner to help lift and place the
chassis will make things considerably easier.
