D-5000 / May 2000
Once the supply is rackmounted, it should be connected to the console
using the factory supplied cable. The console’s two power supply connec-
tors are located at the rear of the console, one at each end of the meterbridge
bottom pan. If you are using one supply, connect it to one of the console
connectors (it doesn’t matter which one). If you are using two supplies
(failsafe option), connect the long power supply cable to the center
connector of the rackmount failsafe panel. Then connect one supply with
a short cable to either of the two remaining connectors on the failsafe panel
and connect the second supply with a short cable to the last connector. Note
that the power supply cable’s 10-pin female connector has to be rotated
until its locating pins match the male connectors on the console. Do not
force a connector on; it attaches easily when properly aligned. Connect the
cable(s) first to the console, then to the rear of the rackmount power supply.
Note each power supply is fitted with a 3-wire grounded AC cord that
should be plugged into a "clean" AC power source, that is, an AC source
that feeds only the control room audio gear. This source should be a
separate feed from those powering lighting, air-conditioning, or any other
non-audio machinery. The third pin ground wire of the AC source should
be tied to the central system ground point. Note that while the AC power
cord ground wire terminates at the power supply chassis, it does NOT
connect to the D-5000 console common; the console itself must be
grounded separately. (See previous section, "System Ground".)
The power feed recom-
mended in the text is of-
ten installed and referred
to in studios as an “iso-
lated AC ground” outlet.
It is usually orange in
color.
