8. Set the rear-panel EARTH LIFT switch to the DOWN ( , ON) grounded position; see Figure 7.

!!Set the EARTH LIFT switch to the UP ( , OFF) position to remove the mains earth from thesignal circuit if a +ve ground battery system is used, or it is necessary to avoid a ground loop

problem.

It is possible to form a ground loop when connecting pieces of audio equipment using unbalancedconnections that provide alternative earth connections via their cable screens. Such ground loopsresult in audible hum from the system.

Never disconnect the mains earth from the plug to attempt to cure a ground loop. In the event ofa fault, the equipment casing could become live.The recommended method of wiring low-level signal interconnections to preserve EMC(Electromagnetic Compatibility) performance and minimise the likelihood of ground loops is asfollows:

1) We always recommend screen to shell connection for best EMC performance, but breakthe connection at the source end if a ground loop problem is encountered. In practice, the

connections between this equipment are balanced and short and it is unlikely that groundloop problems will be encountered.

2) It is also possible to switch the rear panel EARTH LIFT switch to the UP ( , OFF)ungrounded position. In some cases this may cure the problem.

Figure 7 Setting the Earth Lift switchEARTH LIFT DOWN

9. Set the DIP switches at the rear of the mainframe as required; see Figure 8.

The internal DIP switches must be set before the last interface card (the one closest to the AC

mains socket) is fitted.

3 Safety and PrecautionsEnvironmentalAlways ensure adequate ventilation is provided for theequipment by fitting 1U ventilation panels above andbelow the equipment and do not obstruct ventilationholes.

The temperature and humidity ranges shown in thespecifications for this product must not be exceeded.

This equipment must not be installed in an area that issubject to a corrosive atmosphere, excessive moistureor may allow water or other liquids to come into contactwith the unit or its external connections.

Electrical Safety

!!

This product contains wiring that isenergised to 230 V RMS AC mains and100 V RMS audio signals at up to 20 kHz.

Terminals marked with the symbol arehazardous, and the external wiringconnected to these terminals requiresinstallation by qualified personnel only.

!!

Always ensure that the equipment iscorrectly earthed by connection to an AC

mains supply with a protective earthingconnection.

Ensure power supply cabling isadequately rated for the units operatingcurrent and protected, in case of shortcircuit, by a correctly rated fuse or circuitbreaker. This is particularly important forsupply feeds from the 24 V backupbatteries which can deliver short circuitcurrents of several hundred amps.

!!Always replace blown fuses with thecorrect type and rating.

!!

Note that this equipment is intended forcontinuous operation and the front panelmains switch is not readily accessiblewithout the use of tools to remove thefront cover.

Note that if the amplifiers are connectedas a system which is permanentlyconnected to the mains, then an all-pole

mains isolator with a separation of 3 mmin each pole shall be incorporated in theelectrical installation.

!!

You must switch off AC mains and batterysupplies before plugging/unpluggingamplifiers or you may damage themainframe, and amplifier cardelectronics.

!!

External 24 V DC batteries connected tothis unit can deliver very high currentsthat could cause fire or burns. Take careto avoid short circuits of the batterysupply by tools or jewellery.
