PRECISION 8i
Unpacking and Inspection
We recommend that you inspect your PRECISION 8i upon unpacking
it from the factory shipping carton. In the unlikely event that the unit ex-
hibits any physical damage, DO NOT connect it to the AC mains power,
but contact your dealer immediately.
In addition to the PRECISION 8i, the shipping carton should also in-
clude:
•
External Power Supply PSU-8i
•
Connector cable PSU-8i
•
AC power cord
•
Operation Manual
•
Warranty registration sheet
We recommend that you keep the shipping carton and foam supports in
the event that the unit must be shipped at some time in the future. DO
NOT package the unit in "packing peanuts" or similar material as it will
settle during shipping and damage will likely occur. If original packing
materials cannot be located, wrap the unit with a liberal amount of plastic
"bubble wrap" material extending at least " beyond the extremities of
the PRECISION 8 enclosure.
The PRECISION 8i is designed for conventional rack mounting, or
stand-alone mounting by use of the adhesive rubber feet supplied.
Avoid locating the unit next to equipment that emits strong electromag-
netic fields. If the unit is to be permanently mounted in a high-vibration
environment, you may wish to provide additional side or rear support to
prevent possible distortion of the mounting ears.
•
Do not locate the unit where it is exposed to rain, moisture, or liquid
spills.
•
Do not locate the unit where it is exposed to temperature extremes.
•
Do not mount the Power Supply Unit closer than one rack space
from the preamp unit. This avoids coupling unwanted magnetic
interference into the preamp unit.
We recommend that you provide adequate ventilation so that the air tem-
perature surrounding the unit does not exceed 55 °C (1 °F). If multiple
units are to be mounted in a poorly ventilated rack or travel case, a 1 /4"
blank space should be located after every two units (two units mounted
together, blank space, two more units, etc.).
