Precautions
Before installing, setting up or operating this equipment, make sure that you have read
and fully understand all of this section and the “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” at
the front of this manual.
This equipment is supplied by a mains voltage that can cause electric shock injury!
The following must be observed in order to maintain safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
performance.
Safety warnings
Signal 0V is connected internally to the
chassis.
To electrically isolate the equipment,
switch off the mains on/off switch at the
rear of unit. Make sure that the power at
the mains outlet is off, and then disconnect
the mains cable from the mains outlet.
To avoid electrical shock do not remove
covers.
The power supplies - even the DC ones -
have a high current!
General precautions
In the event of ground loop problems,
disconnect the signal screen at one end of the
connecting cables. Note that this can only be
done when the equipment is used within a
balanced system.
Do not remove, hide or deface any warnings or
cautions.
Power
The power supplies contain LETHAL VOLTAGES
greatly in excess of the mains voltage and that
its rails can produce extremely large currents
that could burn out equipment and wiring if
shorted.
The internal power supplies are of the switch
mode type that automatically senses the
incoming mains voltage and will work where the
nominal voltage is in the range 100VAC to
240VAC.
A mains inlet is provided on the rear panel. The
correct lead for connection in the area to which
the unit was shipped is supplied with the unit.
The equipment should only be plugged into the
mains outlet using the supplied lead.
When removing the equipment’s electric plug
from the outlet, always hold the plug itself and
not the cable. Pulling out the plug by the cable
can damage it.
Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet
hands.
Handling the equipment
Completely isolate the equipment electrically
and disconnect all cables from the equipment
before moving it.
Take great care when lifting or moving the
equipment and always take its size and weight
into consideration.
Do not insert your fingers or hand in any gaps or
openings on the equipment, for example, vents.
Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects, such
as paper, plastic, metal etc., into any gaps or
openings on the equipment, for example, vents.
If this happens, turn off the power immediately
and unplug the power from the AC outlets.
Then have the equipment inspected by the
manufacturer's qualified service personnel.

obstructed. To prevent excessive heating of
the equipment, avoid mounting it directly
above power amplifiers or other devices
that radiate significant amounts of heat
such as, radiators and heaters. Keep the
equipment out of direct sunlight.
• Do not place the equipment in an unstable
condition where it might accidentally fall
over.
• Make sure that the mains voltage and fuse
rating information of the equipment will be
visible after installation.
Audio connections
To ensure the correct and reliable operation of
the equipment, only high quality balanced,
screened, twisted pair audio cable should be
used.
XLR connector shells should be of metal
construction so that they provide a screen
when connected to the console and, where
appropriate, they should have Pin 1 connected
to the cable screen.

Electric fields
Caution:
In accordance with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules & Regulations, “… changes or
modifications not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate
the equipment.”
Should this product be used in an
electromagnetic field that is amplitude
modulated by an audio frequency signal (20Hz
to 20kHz), the signal to noise ratio may be
degraded. Degradation of up to 60dB at a
frequency corresponding to the modulation
signal may be experienced under extreme
conditions (3V/m, 90% modulation).
Operation
To avoid electrical shock, never operate the
equipment with the covers removed.
Safety equipment
Never remove, for example, covers, housings
or any other safety guards. Do not operate

DL441 analogue input module
The DL441 analogue input module provides eight balanced line (or mic) inputs. Its rear
panel houses eight input XLRs, each having check and 48V LEDs.
The line inputs may be used as simple unity gain inputs to the XL8, such as insert
returns. However, there is also provision for gain adjustment in 5dB steps from -5dB to
+40dB. This allows very high signal levels to enter the system and means that the
same hardware can be used for mic inputs, if required by the system.
When used for microphones the input can also provide 48-volt phantom power.
Item Description
1Eight XLR analogue mic/line inputs.
2Green check LED illuminates to indicate when a channel is selected on a
console. These are controlled by the console and used as a visual aid to
locate specific connectors.

Appendix D: Replacing An I/O Module
This appendix provides instructions on replacing an module on the rear panel of the
DL451 Modular I/O.
Replacing a module
The design of the DL451 Modular I/O makes module replacement very easy and
straightforward. The unit has rack guides in each of the three module positions so that
the modules can slide easily in and out. Each module is held in place by two screws, at
the left and right sides. A short metal post (or stud) adjacent to each screw facilitates
removal.
>> To remove a module
1Switch off the unit and isolate it electrically from the mains power supply by
switching off the mains power supply at the mains outlet and removing the mains
power cable from the rear of the unit.
2Unplug all cables from the rear of the unit.
3On the module you are replacing, remove the two securing screws from its left
and right sides on the rear panel (circled below).
4Pull out the module using the two circular machined posts (fitted to rear of
module panel, adjacent to the two securing screws).
>> To fit a module
Carefully insert the module into the empty module slot, ensuring the correct
orientation, and secure the module in place using the two securing screws (left and
right). Then, plug in all the cables to the rear panel of the unit. Finally, plug in the
mains cable and switch the unit on.
34 Appendix D: Replacing An I/O Module

Routine maintenance
To help keep your unit in good working order and to make sure it gives you optimum
performance, we recommend that you carry out the following:
Monthly
• Clean the unit, as detailed in “Cleaning” below.
• Check all controls, such as pushbuttons, for freedom of operation.
• Check the functionality of all controls and indicators, such as LEDs.
• Check the functionality of the equipment.
Yearly
• Clean the internal fans, see “Cleaning the internal fans” below.
Cleaning
Switch off the unit and electrically isolate it from the mains before cleaning.
Clean the unit using a dry, lint-free cloth. Don’t use harsh abrasives or solvents. When
cleaning the unit, take great care not to damage the controls or LCD screen.
Cleaning the LCD screen
Carefully wipe the surface of the LCD screen with a soft, lint-free cloth using ethanolic
liquid, such as a screen cleaner for LCDs, or by using a screen wipe specially designed
for the purpose. When cleaning the LCD screen, please take the following precautions:
• Don’t use harsh abrasives, such as paper towels.
• Don’t apply liquids directly to the screen.
• Don’t use ammonia-based cleaners and solvents, such as acetone.
Cleaning the internal fans
The unit’s internal fans need to cleaned regularly to remove the build of dust, dirt etc.
We recommend that they are cleaned at least once a year, provided the unit has been
operated under normal conditions. However, if the operating conditions are more
adverse or extreme, for example, if the unit is operated in the vicinity of smoke
machines, new carpets etc., this frequency should be increased accordingly.
This procedure must be carried out by a fully qualified service engineer.
