INSTALLATION
2.1.
Unpacking and Initial Inspection
Before you install your amplifier, thoroughly read this manual.
First, carefully inspect the cardboard carton and its contents for physical damage. ACOM
ships amplifiers in highly protected containers, but it cannot assure that mistreatment
by shippers will not occur. If damage is evident, notify your dealer immediately. Delay
may void the carrier's warranty.
Keep all packing materials for possible future amplifier shipment.
2.2.
Amplifier Location Selection
CAUTION
The weight of the unit is about 13 kg, which should preferably be handled by two
persons.
Position the amplifier near the place where it will be used. You will need an easy access to the command
knobs and indicator's area, as well as to the rear panel cabling.
NOTICE
The ACOM 700S is forced air cooled. Keep a minimum clearance distance of 10 cm
(4 inches) to any other devices or objects.
The exhaust air can reach 65
o
C (150
o
F) and if the surrounding devices are sensitive to heating from outside
or use forced air cooling themselves, increase the distances accordingly.
NOTICE
Do not leave accidental paper, cloth or other lightweight pieces around and under the
amplifier. They may be drawn in by the cooling air stream and block the vents. This will
lead to overheating and accelerated material aging, not covered by the warranty.
