SFD-2 MKII PLACEMENT FOR PROPER VENTILATION

Allow 

at least

6” (15 cm) of clear space above the SFD-2 MKII

chassis for proper ventilation, making sure the air vent slots in
the chassis cover remain unobstructed. 

Be sure

the SFD-2 MKII is resting on a hard, flat surface.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Ventilation - Although your SFD-2 MKII Digital Processor gener-
ates only nominal heat in use, be sure that the ventilation slots in
the top cover have 

at least

6” of unobstructed air space above

them.
2. Water and Moisture - This product should not be used near
water. To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this
product to rain or moisture.
3. Heat - This product should be situated away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appli-
ances which produce heat.
4. Power Sources - This product should be connected to an AC
power source of the proper rated voltage. The original ship-
ping containers will stipulate the AC voltage this unit can oper-
ate with correctly.
5. Cleaning - A regular dusting with a soft, non-abrasive cloth
will generally keep the finish of the faceplate and chassis look-
ing like new. At no time should you allow any liquid to come in
contact with the SFD-2 MKII Digital Processor; it may run into
the electronic circuitry and cause damage which will not be
covered under your warranty.
6. Servicing - Do not open this product. 

No user serviceable

parts inside.

period of time.
8. Do not remove the SFD-2 MKII chassis cover while the unit is
switched to the OPERATE mode or is connected to an AC
power source. Cover screws could fall through the ventilation
slots and cause electrical damage to the SFD-2 MKII.
