Martin RDM 5.5 Splitter

The RDM 5.5 Splitter is supplied with a blue Neutrik PowerCon NAC3FCA

cable-mount connector for power input. The user must supply a suitable

length of power cable that meets the requirements listed on page 5 and

install the PowerCon connector on it as described below. The user must

then either hard-wire the power cable to the building’s electrical

installation, providing an easily accessible power on/off switch close to the

device, or install on the power cable a grounding-type (earthed) mains

plug that is suitable for the local power outlets, following the power plug

manufacturer’s instructions. Table 1 shows some pin identification

schemes. Consult a qualified electrician if you have any doubts about

proper installation.
