IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICES
To avoid risk of electric shock, injury or death, it is recommended to never
attempt to self-service a Flock Audio PATCH System. There are no self
repairable or removable parts in the system. If your Flock Audio PATCH
System requires repairs, please contact our support centre to arrange for a
Flock Audio Certified Repair Technician. (www.flockaudio.com/support)
#1. Do Not Self-Service
To avoid risk of damage to your PATCH System, avoid having liquids &/or
spills near your PATCH System. If accidental spill occurs, safely shut off your
PATCH System using the front power toggle switch, unplug the wall outlet
and disconnect the 6 spin power supply from the system. Once completed
please contact Flock Audio Support to arrange for a Certified Repair
Technician to remove and repair if required.
#2. Avoid Liquid &/or Spills
It is not recommended to use any alternative power supply sources other
than your included Flock Audio TRUM Power 24VDC Power Supply with
your Flock Audio PATCH System. Use of other power supplies may cause
damage and void your warranty agreement. Use of 3rd party USB & DB-25
cables are of no concern and should be chosen based upon the preference
and needs of the user.
#3. Use Only Recommended Power Supplies & Cables
Proper mount spacing and rack mount ventilation is required to ensure your
Flock Audio PATCH System does not overheat. It is recommended that the
rear of the rack is open for proper ventilation and that the user DOES NOT
mount the PATCH System above any tube related audio equipment. If
necessary, there should be a 1/2 - 1U rack space between the PATCH
System and any warm or tube related audio equipment to avoid
unexpected shutdowns or internal damage.
#4. Proper Rack mount Ventilation Requirements
In addition to your supplied Power Supply brick, it is recommended that
you always use a properly shielded and grounded IEC Power Cable (110V/
220V) with your PATCH System. The Chassis is designed to work with the
earth ground inside the box for both a safe & quiet audio operation. Never
remove or use a IEC cable accessory without the grounding pin.
#5. Use Properly Grounded IEC Power Cables
Although no damage or immediate danger will occur if 48V Phantom Power
is engaged on a preamp connected to the Input of the PATCH System, it is
not recommended to leave that 48V source active for a lengthly period of
time. The PATCH System is equipped with its own 48V capabilities, and
once it detects an externally connected active 48V source, it will prompt the
user both in the PATCH APP & Red Flashing LED on the Hardware to
disable it.
#6. External 48V Phantom Power (I.E. Connected Preamp)
Never use your Flock Audio PATCH System during any electrical or
dangerous lightning storms. Calmly shut down your System, Unplug the IEC
power cable from the wall outlet or power conditioner until it is safe to
continue use. It’s also recommended to keep the system unplugged if not in
use for long extended periods of time.
#7. Discontinue Use During Electrical Storms
