RackPack
Please note and retain this information. Carefully read and follow all of the safety and oper-
ating instructions before you use the machine. Be doubly careful to follow all warnings and
special safety instructions noted in this manual and on the unit.
This manual provides all information needed to t or exchange RackPack modules. Module
manuals do not contain information on tting and exchanging modules. You need this man-
ual everytime a module is to be tted or exchanged.
If the manual is not at hand, you can download it like any other SPL product manual at

Connections: Only use the connections as described. Other connections can lead to health 
risks and equipment damage.
Water And Humidity: Do  NOT  use  this  machine  anywhere  near  water  (for  example  near  a 
wash basin or bath, in a damp cellar, near swimming pools, or the like). In such cases there is 
an extremely high risk of fatal electrical shocks!
Insertion Of Foreign Objects Or Fluids: NEVER  allow  a  foreign  object  through  any  of  the 
machine’s  chassis  openings.  You  can  easily  come  into  contact  with  dangerous  voltage 
or  cause a damaging short circuit.  NEVER  allow any  uids  to  be  spilled  or  sprayed  on  the 
machine. Such actions can lead to dangerous electrical shocks or re! 
OPENING THE DEVICE: Open the device only to t or exchange modules. The tting and/or
exchange of modules should only be carried out by qualied persons. In the light of possible
physical damage or injuries any manipulation is at your own risk. In order to avoid exposure
to any residual voltage, the device should be disconnected from any power source at least 5
minutes before opening it. If you handle the device improperly or ignore the manual (part of
the delivery of the RackPack frame) you risk to damage the device or expose yourself to an
electric shock. In these cases SPL electronics GmbH denies any responsibility.
Electrical Power: Run this machine ONLY from sources which  can provide proper power at 
the prescribed rating. When in doubt about a source, contact your dealer or a professional 
electrician. To be sure you have isolated the machine, do so by disconnecting the power cord 
from your wall connection. Be sure that the power cord plug is always accessible. When not 
using the machine for a longer period, make sure to unplug it from your wall power socket. 
Power Cord Protection: Make sure that your power cord is arranged to avoid being stepped 
on or any kind of crimping and damage related to such event. Do not allow any equipment or 
furniture to crimp this power cord.
Power Connection Overloads: Avoid  any  kind  of  overload  in  connections  to  wall  sockets, 
extension  or  splitter  power  cords.  Always  keep manufacturer  warnings and instructions  in 
mind. Overloads create re hazards and risk of dangerous shocks!
Lightning:Before thunderstorms or other severe weather, disconnect the machine from wall 
power (but to avoid life threatening lightning strikes, not during a storm). Similarly, before 
any severe weather, disconnect ALL the power connections of other machines andantenna 
and phone/internet cables which may be interconnected so that no lightning damage or over-
load results from such secondary connections.
Air Circulation: Chassis  openings  offer  ventilation  and  serve  to  protect  the  machine  from 
overheating. NEVER cover or otherwise close off these openings. NEVER place the machine 
on a soft surface (carpet, sofa, etc.). Make sure to provide for a mounting space of 4-5 cm/2 
inches when mounting the machine in racks or cabinets.
Controls and Switches:Operate the controls and switches only as described in the manual. 
Incorrect adjustments outside safe parameters can lead to damage and unnecessary repair 
costs. Never use the switches or level controls to effect excessive or extreme changes.
