Safety of Mains Operated Redbox Equipment
Preparing the Machine for Use
Each Redbox is shipped in protective packaging and should be inspected for damage
before use. Where an item is found to have transit damage, notify your supplier
immediately with all the relevant details of the shipment. Packing materials should be
kept for inspection.
Equipment Safety
This equipment has been designed to meet the safety regulations currently advised in
the country of purchase.
The power cable supplied carries an EARTH conductor, which is connected internally to
the equipment chassis ground. This connection through a properly wired power
connector is essential for safe operation. Disconnection of this earth connection may
render the equipment unsafe, with a consequential possible electrical shock hazard
from exposed metallic parts.
This equipment will operate in a horizontal position and conforms to the
safety regulations specified by use of the CE Mark.
Warning: There are no user serviceably parts inside the machine. If you
should ever need to look inside the unit, always disconnect the mains supply
before removing the equipment covers.
Voltage Setting Checks
Ensure that the machine operating voltage is correct for your mains power supply by
checking the box in which your Redbox was supplied. The voltage is shown on the box
label. The available voltage settings are 115V, or 230V. Please note that the majority
of the Redboxes are switch able between 115V and 230V.
Fuse Rating
The Redboxes are supplied with a single fuse in the live conducting path of the power
infeed at the power supply. For reasons of safety it is important that the correct rating
and type of fuse is used. Incorrectly rated fuses could present a possible fire hazard,
under equipment fault conditions. The fuse ratings for the Redboxes are: -
Voltage Fuse
115 V 200mA, 5 x 20mm SB
230 V 100mA, 5 x 20mm SB
Power Cable and Connection
An IEC power connector is supplied with the Redbox which has a moulded plug
attached – this is a legal requirement. If no moulded plug has been supplied with
Your Redbox, please contact your supplier, because an IEC connector is always
supplied from the Sonifex factory. If for any reason, you need to use the Redbox with
a different power cable, you should use the following wiring guidelines:
