2.3 Installation

Voltage Selection and Fusing

All XLogic units have selectable voltage inlets. Always confirm that the input mains voltage range is set correctly

before applying power. Always isolate the mains supply before changing the input range setting.

If it is ever necessary to replace a blown mains fuse, then always use the correct rating and type of replacement.

If a correctly rated fuse continues to blow, then a fault exists and the cause should be investigated or the unit

returned to Solid State Logic for repair/replacement as appropriate.

Details of mains settings and correct fuse ratings can be found in Section 3.1 and Appendix A of this manual.

Safety Earth Connection

Any mains powered item of Solid State Logic equipment that is supplied with a 3-core mains lead (whether

connectorised or not) should always have the earth wire connected to the mains supply ground. This is the safety

earth and grounds the exposed metal parts of the racks and cases and should not be removed for any reason.

2.2 Electrical Safety Warning

When installing or servicing any item of Solid State Logic equipment with power applied, when cover

panels are removed, HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS CAN EXIST.

These hazards include: High voltages

High energy stored in capacitors

High currents available from DC power busses

Hot component surfaces

Any metal jewellery (watches, bracelets, neck-chains and rings) that could inadvertently come into contact

with uninsulated parts should always be removed before reaching inside powered equipment.
