Opus 600 – Safety and Environment
Location
•
The equipment must be set up so that the mains switch, mains plug and all connections on the rear
of the device are easily accessible.
•
If you transport the equipment to another location take care to ensure that it is adequately secured
and can never be damaged by being dropped or by impacts on the equipment.
Fire hazard
•
Never place naked flames (e.g. candles) near the equipment.
Humidity / heat sources
•
Never expose the equipment to rain or a high level of humidity. For this reason do not install it in
the immediate vicinity of swimming pools, showers, damp basement rooms or other areas with
unusually high atmospheric humidity.
•
Never place objects containing liquid (e.g. vases or drinking glasses) on the equipment. Liquids in the
equipment could cause a short circuit.
•
Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Ventilation
•
This equipment needs adequate ventilation. Do not cover ventilation grilles. If the heat it generates
cannot be dissipated, the equipment could be damaged or flammable materials in its immediate
vicinity could be ignited. Take care to ensure that the air can circulate freely through the ventilation
grilles and keep flammable materials away.
•
Do not insert objects into the ventilation grilles or other openings. You could damage the equipment
and/or injure yourself.
Connection
•
The equipment must be connected to a mains socket that has an earth contact.
•
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
•
Lay all connection cables so that they do not present a trip hazard.
•
Whenever working on the equipment switch off all inputs and outputs to the power supply.
•
Check whether the connection figures comply with the existing mains supply. Serious damage could
occur due to connecting the system to the wrong power supply. An incorrect mains voltage could
damage the equipment or cause an electric shock.
•
Please note that different operating voltages require the use of different types of power cable and
plugs.
Please refer to the following table:
Voltage
Power plug according to standard
110 - 125 V
UL817 and CSA C 22.2 no 42.
220 - 230 V
CEE 7 page VII, SR section 107-2-D1/IEC 83 page C4.
240 V
BS 1363 (1984): "Specification for 13A fused plugs and
switched and un-switched socket outlets."
•
If the equipment causes a blown fuse or a short circuit, disconnect it from the mains and have it
checked and repaired.
•
Do not hold the mains cable with wet hands. There must be no water or dust on the contact pins.
In both cases you could receive an electric shock.
