Before you install the Cygnus
Unpacking
Take care when you remove the Cygnus main chassis and power supply from their packaging. Because of its
machined aluminum top chassis, it is heavier than the average preamp. Have an extra person nearby to help
if you need it. You may wish to use gloves to protect your fingers.
Connecting the power supply cables
The Cygnus's separate power supply (bottom component in the picture above) must be connected to the
Cygnus main chassis (top component in the picture above) as shown above before you plug the unit into a
wall. Make sure the power switch on the power supply is in the off (O) position.
The supplied cables are spiral-wrapped, gold-plated copper designed for aerospace use, and can handle up to
30 amps. These cables are permanently attached to the back of the power supply. Do not attempt to replace
them. The cables are long enough to allow separation of the two components, so you can, for example, place
the power supply at the bottom of your equipment rack with the Cygnus main chassis up nearer the top.
Connect the power supply’s Left Analog cable into the Analog Left power input of the Cygnus main chassis.
Repeat with the Analog Right and Control power cables. The connector on the Control cable is different from
the analog power cables to assure the proper connection is made.
Do not connect the AC power cord yet. Wait until you have connected the Link cable between the power
supply and the main chassis.
DO NOT remove the power cables while the unit is powered on. If you do happen to accidently pull one of
them out, DO NOT plug it back in. Turn off the power supply using the hard switch on the rear panel, unplug
the unit, then replace the cable. Failure to power down the unit before replacing a power cable can result in
substantial damage to your Cygnus.
