Introduction
IMPORTA T IFORMATIO
This section contains definitions, warnings, and practical information necessary to ensure a safe working environment. Please
take time to read this section before installing or using your AWS. Please do not dispose of these instructions.
Graphic Symbols
The following symbols may be used in this section and elsewhere in this manual:
General Hazard (refer to User or Service nstructions for details)
Electrical Hazard
General Safety
• Read these instructions.
• Keep these instructions.
• Heed all warnings.
• Follow all instructions.
• Do not use this apparatus near water.
• Do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
• Clean only with dry cloth.
• Do not block any ventilation openings. nstall in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.
• Ensure that this apparatus is positioned on a secure level surface.
• Ensure that no strain is placed on the cables connecting to this apparatus. Ensure also that such cables are not placed
where they can be stepped on, pinched, pulled or tripped over in any way.
• Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such
as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus
has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally or has been dropped.
• Adjustments or alterations to this apparatus may affect the performance such that safety and/or international compliance
standards may no longer be met.
• This apparatus is equipped with a headphone socket – excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can
cause hearing loss.
• This apparatus is designed for use solely by engineers and competent operators skilled in the use of professional audio
equipment.
Caution
The AWS console is too heavy for one person to lift. f covers or panels are removed for any reason, sharp
edges may be present on exposed metalwork.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing unless you are qualified to do so.

Power Safety
• This apparatus includes a universal power supply; approved and certified for operation in this apparatus.
• An external disconnect device is required for this apparatus. The appliance coupler is a suitable disconnect device.
• The appliance coupler shall remain readily operable.
• Use only the Solid State Logic provided power cords. Use of any other power cord is not covered by your warranty
and may cause fire or explosion.
• The power cord must be earthed and precautions should be made so that the grounding is not defeated.
• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarised or grounding-type plugs fitted to the power cords. A polarised plug
has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The
wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. f the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an
electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
• To ensure safe operation of this apparatus, connect only to an ac. power source that contains a protective earthing (PE)
conductor. This apparatus 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 apparatus is not
designed for use with live and neutral connections reversed or where the neutral conductor is not at earth potential
( T supplies). This apparatus 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).
• An external over-current protection device is required to protect the wiring to this apparatus which must be installed
according to current wiring regulations. n certain countries this function is supplied by use of a fused plug. n other cases
a fused spur or circuit breaker should be used according to local practice.
The current requirement for this apparatus can be found in Appendix A of this manual.
• f an extension power cable or adaptor is used, ensure that the total power rating of the power cable and/or adaptor is
not exceeded.
• Unplug this apparatus during an electrical storm or when unused for long periods of time.
• Do not operate this apparatus whilst it is covered or boxed in any way.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing unless you are qualified to do so.
• Disconnect the power cord before removing any panels. The power switch alone does not provide adequate isolation
for service access.
• Do not permit anyone to remove panels or covers from this apparatus, other than qualified service personnel.
• Do not permit anyone other than qualified service personnel to operate this apparatus unless all panels and covers are
in place.

Introduction
Caution
When installing or servicing any item of SSL equipment with power applied, when cover panels are removed:
HAZARDOUS COND T ONS CAN EX ST!
These hazards include: • High energy stored in capacitors
•High currents available from DC power busses
•Hot component surfaces
• High voltages
To reduce the risk of fire, replace internal fuses only with identical type and rating.
FCC otice
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 used 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.
Disposal of WEEE by Users in the European Union
The symbol shown here is on the product or on its packaging, which indicates that this product must not be
disposed of with other waste. nstead, 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.
Standards Conformance
This apparatus fully conforms with the current protection requirements of the European community council
directives on EMC and LVD.
