Important Safety Precautions and Explanation of Symbols
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of
important installation, operation, and service instructions in this manual.
The lightning ash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user
to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltages within the enclosure that may be of sufcient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electrical shock to the user.
Please read this Installation and Operation Manual thoroughly before attempting to install, congure,
or operate the Sherbourn C-12. After successful installation and conguration of the C-12, be sure to
retain this manual in a safe place for future reference.
Safety is a key component to a long lasting and trouble free installation. Please read and follow all
instructions and heed all warnings on the C-12 and in this manual. The vast majority of the subsequent
safety precautions are common sense. If you are not comfortable with the installation of audio/video
entertainment equipment, you should seek the services of a qualied installation professional or call us
for help.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THE
C-12 NEAR WATER OR IN WET LOCATIONS, DO NOT EXPOSE IT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE, DO
NOT EXPOSE IT TO DRIPPING OR SPLASHING FROM OTHER SOURCES, AND ENSURE THAT
NO OBJECTS FILLED WITH LIQUIDS (SUCH AS VASES) ARE PLACED ON IT. DOING SO MAY
RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE C-12 AND THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, WHICH MAY RESULT
IN BODILY INJURY OR DEATH.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER
FROM THE C-12 EXCEPT TO MAKE CONFIGURATION CHANGES AS DIRECTED IN THIS
MANUAL.
The Sherbourn C-12 is a cooling device and, as such, is intended to be installed in locations above
equipment that generates heat. The C-12 may be congured to exhaust hot air in several different
directions (depending on the conguration chosen), and to operate in several different modes. Do not
install the C-12 in locations where the ow of air, as congured per the instructions in the manual, is
impeded or blocked. Do not block vents or exhaust openings in the C-12 except as directed in this
manual to implement the chosen conguration. Improper conguration of the C-12, or blocking of the
vents or air-ow openings of the C-12, may result in improper or insufcient operation of the C-12.
Doing so may result in causing either the C-12 or the equipment it services to overheat, which may
result in the risk of re, personal injury, or equipment damage.
Always install your C-12 according to the manufacturer’s instructions and only use attachments or
accessories specied by the manufacturer.
The C-12 is available in both 115 VAC and 230 VAC versions (both are marked on the exterior).
Ensure that the version you have is the correct one for your local AC line voltage, and only connect
your C-12 to outlets of the correct voltage. Only connect the C-12 to an electrical outlet or extension
cord of appropriate type and rating.
Protect the AC power cable from being pinched, walked on, or otherwise damaged. Be especially
careful where the power cable exits the C-12 unit.
DO NOT defeat the safety purpose of a grounding or polarized plug by removing ground pins or using
unsafe adapters. A polarized plug has two blades - one wider than the other. A grounding plug has a
third ground prong in addition to the two main conductors. The wide blade or third groundling prong is
provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not t your outlet, consult an electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet.
