IMPORTANT SAFETY & USER NOTICE
FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY
Radial 500 series power racks are specically designed for use by
qualied professional audio engineers. The open frame design is not
intended for use by consumers or those unfamiliar with this format.
Even though the current and voltage levels are relatively low, we
recommend that all slots be lled with a module or covers be placed
over unlled slots. This will help protect you from electrical shock.
These power racks are designed to be used with 500 series modules
manufactured by Radial or others that follow the 500 series format.
Even though there is no formalized standard, Radial has endeavored
to take every step possible to ensure cross-brand compatibility. To this
end, Radial has produced a free PDF download called the Workhorse
Open Source Document (Whos.Doc) that outlines the mechanical
and electrical requirements for module designs. Manufacturers are
invited to consult this document in order to assist in assuring cross-
platform compatibility with both current and older 500 series formats.
Users should also consult this document and ensure the module
being used follows the prescribed pin-out conguration.
The user should ensure that the module current requirements do
not exceed the available current provided by the power rack. It is
also important that when securing the module to the frame that the
retainer screws not be over tightened or cross threaded. This will
prevent damaging the treads and ensure a longer rack life.
Finally, hot swapping or exchanging modules when power is on
can shorten the life of the card-edge connector. Although Radial
has incorporated extra safety measures, hot swapping is not
recommended. Damage caused by hot swapping is not covered
under the Radial Limited Warranty. The user is responsible for any
damage to the racks or modules arising out of hot swapping and the
user shall save Radial Engineering Ltd. harmless should any damage
occur. Please consult the Radial Limited Warranty for further details.
