RackPack 500
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 500 modules.
Module manuals do not contain information on tting and exchanging modules. You need
this manual 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
www.spl.info.
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 500 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 and antenna
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.
