1. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
• The power supply cords supplied with the D-2008SP and D-2012C are designed for exclusive use with each
equipment. Never use them with other equipment.
• Use the unit in locations where the temperature is between +5 to +40 °C (41 to 104 ºF) and the humidity is
less than 90 % (no condensation).
• The unit is a precision audio component. To prevent failure, do not give the unit strong shocks or vibrations.
• When mounting the D-2008SP in an equipment rack, be sure to mount a perforated panel larger than 1U
size* 1 above and below the unit.
• Do not position the heat-generating component such as a power amplifier immediately below the D-2008SP
in the rack even if the perforated panel is mounted between them. Also, keep such components away from
each other so that the ambient temperature around the D-2008SP should not exceed +40 ºC (104 ºF).
Failure to do so may shorten the product life.
• When mounting the D-2012C in an equipment rack, be sure to mount a perforated panel larger than 1U
size* 1 above the unit.
• Do not position the heat-generating component such as a power amplifier immediately below the D-2012C in
the rack. Also, keep such components away from each other so that the ambient temperature around the D-
2012C should not exceed +40 ºC (104 ºF). Failure to do so may shorten the product life.
• Do not place objects on the motorized faders of the D-2012C as these faders move up and down
automatically through operation such as preset memory recall.
• The largest-scale system can be configured with 4 D-2008SPs, 4 D-2012Cs, and 1 PC.
When using the multiple D-2008SP or D-2012C units, their firmware versions must be 3.0.0 or later, and the
D-2000 Setting software version must be 3.0.0 or later.
For details on how to check their versions, read the separate Setting Software Instructions, "Menu item
description."
Firmware of the D-2008SP and D-2012C can be updated using the Setting Software ver. 3.0.0 or later*
2 .
For details on how to update the firmware, read the separate Setting Software Instructions, "Method to
Enable Communications between the PC and the Unit."
The latest versions of the D-2000 Setting Software and Instruction Manual are made available on the TOA
product data download site (http://www.toa-products.com/international/).
• To clean, be sure to first switch off the unit's power, then wipe with a dry cloth. When the unit gets very dirty,
use a cloth damped in a neutral cleanser. Never use benzene, thinner, chemically-treated cleaning cloth, or
alcohol because such volatile liquids could deform or discolor the unit.
• About the wear-and-tear items
The D-2012C's following parts are wear-and-tear items. Replace them when they approach the end of their
useful lives, which vary depending on the environments or conditions of use. Note that the replacement of
such wear-and-tear parts is chargeable even when the unit is within the valid guarantee period.
· Motor fader:
30000 reciprocations (Approx. 6 years)
· Rotary encoder: 30000 rotations (Approx. 12 years)
* 1 1U size = 44.5 mm or 1.75" (standard size)
* 2 To update the D-2012C firmware ver. 2.0.0, use the dedicated "D-2012C Firmware Updater Software
Program." (Refer to p. 49.)
