!"!
Welcome to Solid State Logic’s C10 HD™ broadcast console.
! "
This manual aims to provide everything you are likely to need to know about how to install and configure the C10 HD
console, whether you are a new user with little operational experience, an operator who is familiar with SSL consoles, or
a system administrator who is in charge of the maintenance and configuration of the console.
This manual is divided into seven sections which progressively cover the details required to prepare the proposed location,
be able to install and commission the console and finally configure the software to achieve a basic level of operation – ie.
from delivery to getting audio in and out.
Section 1 3974*:)9/43 –This section. Please take time to read this section fully as it includes important
information relating to electrical and to physical safety.
Section 2 7+5'7'9/43 – Covers the requirements for the intended location of the room/studio and then
lists the peripheral equipment that will be needed. ote that some items and services will need to
be supplied by the facility. This section also provides an overview with more detailed descriptions
of the main component parts of the C10 HD system.
Section 3 389'11'9/43 – Provides step-by-step cabling instructions and includes a section on the initial
setup of the system network.
Section 4 43,/-:7'9/43 – Covers the first steps necessary to set up the console surface in order to
name signals and to make basic I/O routes (This is the section that should result in sound coming
out!)
Section 5 *2/3/897'9/43 – The console can be configured in different ways depending on the degree of
control required by individual users (ie. access levels). This section covers these level settings and
also looks at maintenence and remote monitoring functions.
Section 6 55+3*/)+8 – These include: Specifications, connector pinouts, configuration details and useful
guidelines. Also covered are options that include: Additional I/O, resource sharing capability and
processor redundancy.
Section 7 +7;/)/3-74)+*:7+8– This section shows how to remove the various console assemblies
from the frame.
The information provided by this manual is relevant to the all versions of the C10 HD. In certain areas differences exist
between the 16-channel fader frame and the 24 and 32-channel frames. These details will be highlighted in the specific
section.
!!
Certain configurations of the C10HD console will automatically include commissioning by an SSL engineer so are not
covered, or are only mentioned briefly, in this manual. Some detail of these options is covered in the Appendix section.
These configurations include:
• Consoles fitted with the Redundant processing
• Consoles equipped with a MORSE resource sharing router
• Remote MORSE stageboxes equipped with SDI I/O cards

C10 HD Installation Manual Section 1: Introduction |Page 1-3
!& !
This section contains definitions and warnings, and practical information to ensure a safe working environment. Please take
time to read this section before undertaking any installation work.
!
‘M inten nce’
All maintenance must be carried out by fully trained personnel. ote: It is advisable to observe suitable ESD
precautions when maintaining electronic assemblies.
‘Non-User Adjustments’
Adjustments or alterations to the equipment may affect the performance such that safety and/or international
compliance standards may no longer be met. Any such adjustments must therefore only be carried out by fully trained
personnel.
‘Users’
This equipment is designed for use solely by engineers and competent operators skilled in the use of professional audio
equipment.
‘Environment’
This product is a class A product intended to form an integrated component part of a professional audio recording,
mixing, TV, radio broadcast or similar studio wherein it will perform to specification providing that it is installed
according to professional practice.
!& ! !
Any mains powered item of SSL equipment that is supplied with a 3-core mains lead (whether connectorised or not) must
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 enclosures and must not be removed for any reason.
Safety Information
! !& $
When installing or servicing any item of SSL equipment with power applied, when cover panels are removed,
HAZARDOUS CO DITIO S CA 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.
"&
To ensure safe operation of this equipment, connect only to an AC power source that contains a protective earthing (PE)
conductor. This equipment is designed for connection to single phase supplies with the neutral conductor at earth potential
– category T or TT – and is fitted with a protective fuse in the live conductor only. This equipment is not designed for
use with live and neutral connections reversed or where the neutral conductor is not at earth potential (IT supplies). This
equipment should not be connected to a power system that switches open the return (neutral) lead when the return lead
also functions as the protective earth (PE).
All mains powered assemblies must be connected to the same mains phase. In particular, note that as PSU redundancy
is standard, the two input leads must OT be connected across different phases of a 3-phase supply.
Mains cables will be coded with either of the following colour schemes:
or
LIVE: Brown Black
EUTRAL: Blue White
EARTH: Yellow/Green Green
The ratings label, which details the console power requirements, is located adjacent to the mains inlet connectors on the
power input panel beneath the rear of the console.
! #"! !!
An external disconnect device is required for this equipment which must be installed according to current wiring
regulations. A detachable power cord, as fitted to this equipment, is a suitable disconnect device.
An external over-current protection device is required to protect the wiring to this equipment which must be installed
according to the current wiring regulations. The fusing or breaking-current is defined in the product specification. In certain
countries this function is supplied by use of a fused plug.
Some units (specifically, those fitted with PSU Redundancy) utilise multiple power sources. This is clearly marked on the
equipment. The finished installation must also be clearly marked to ensure that all sources of power are removed before
servicing work begins.
& !&
The console surface is too heavy for one person to move; ensure sufficient manpower is available when positioning
the console. Take particular care if removing a fully populated RIO chassis from an equipment rack.
If the console trim is removed for any reason then there may be sharp edges exposed on the frame metalwork.

Safety Information
C10 HD Installation Manual Section 1: Introduction |Page 1-5
!!
The C10 HD system is CE compliant. ote that cables supplied with SSL equipment may be fitted with ferrite
rings at each end. This is to comply with the current regulations and these ferrites should not be removed.
If any of the console metalwork is modified in any way – particularly the addition of holes for custom switches etc. – this
may the adversely affect the CE certification status of the product.
!!
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment
is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference
at his own expense.
!"! $& " ! " "
The symbol shown here, which is on the product or on its packaging, indicates that this product must not
be disposed of with other waste. Instead, it is the user’s responsibility to dispose of their waste equipment
by handing it over to a designated collection point for recycling of waste electrical and electronic
equipment. The separate collection and recycling of your waste equipment at the time of disposal will help
to conserve natural resources and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects human health and
the environment. For more information about where you can drop off your waste equipment for recycling,
please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or where you purchased the
product.
