Section2 – Safety Considerations
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.
Definitions
‘Maintenance’
All maintenance must be carried out by fully trained personnel.
Note: It is advisable to observe suitable ESD precautions when maintaining electronic assemblies.
‘ on-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.
Installation Instructions
Voltage Selection and Fusing
All C100HDS systems use auto-ranging power supplies. These are designed to operate at input voltages in the range 100
to 240VAC (±10%) so do not require setting to suit the local supply.
If, where fitted, 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 SSL for repair/replacement as appropriate.
Details of mains settings and correct fuse ratings can be found in Appendix A of this manual.
Electrical Safety Warning
When installing or servicing any item of SSL 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.
Safety C nsiderati ns
Secti n 2
Page 3
Safety Earth Connection
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 cases and should not be removed for any reason.
Mains Supply and Phases
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 TN 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 NOT be connected across different phases of a 3-phase supply.
Mains cables will be coded with either of the following colour schemes:
1or 2
LIVE: Brown Black
NEUTRAL: 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.
Mains Isolation and Over-Current Protection
An external disconnect device (switch) is required for this equipment which must be installed according to current wiring
regulations. A detachable power cord, if fitted to this equipment, is a suitable disconnect device, otherwise an approved
disconnect switch is required – the rating of which is defined in the product specification (Appendix A) and on the
equipment itself.
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.
Physical Safety
The console surface is too heavy for one person to move, ensure sufficient manpower is available when positioning the
console. Take particular care when removing a fully populated RIO chassis from the equipment rack.
If the console trim is removed for any reason then there may be sharp edges exposed on the frame metalwork.
C100HDS Installati n Guide

CE Certification
The C100HDS system is CE compliant. Note that the majority of cables supplied with SSL equipment are 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.
FCC Certification
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part
15 of the CC 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.
Instructions for Disposal of WEEE by Users in the European Union
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

Section 3 – Pre Installation Information
Physical installation of the console is normally carried out by a specialised transportation company. In some cases this will
have been arranged by the local SSL office, in other cases by the facility.
Before the console is installed all building work should be completed and the environment MUST be clean otherwise the
warranty will be rendered invalid.
Before commissioning can take place the following must be completed:
• Air Conditioning installed, tested, blown-through and working
• Lighting installed and tested
• Cable Trunking installed
• Wall and floor finishes completed
• Power Distribution installed and tested
• Cables installed and tested
• Monitor loudspeakers installed and working
• Other utilities (telephone, water etc.) available
The cables that run between console and processor can be shipped in advance of the console in a separate kit (the pre-
install kit). These cables should be installed by the facility engineers. Instructions for installing these cables are found on
pages 25 to 35 of this manual.
Cables that may be required for the connection of ancillary functions – meters, talkback or any custom switching etc. –
are OT supplied by SSL and will need to be provided by the facility. Refer to pages 38 to 41 for cabling information.
