INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
MAINS VOLTAGE
CHECK that the mains voltage on a sticker printed on the rear of this
amplifier is similar to the mains voltage normaly supplied to
your area. If in doubt, please consult your AUDIOVALVE dealer.
PLACEMENT AND VENTILATION
This Audio Valve
Prometheus
power amplifier is designed to
operate at a moderately high temperature. The ideal location
is on the rigid stand or floor mounted away from direct contact
with any objects, materials or deep pile carpets which may be
effected by the heat or which may interrupt the flow of air around
the amplifier.
When operating the amplifiers quite a lot of heat is generated which
should be allowed to dissipate without restriction. Make sure
that no objects are placed on the top of the amplifier. Always
ensure adequate ventilations.
MAINS / LINE POWER
connection is via supplied plug-in lead.
The standard IEC socket connects the mains power at the amplifier
end while a local mains plug is required at the wall end. In the event
where a "local" plug needs to be fitted to the wall end of the lead,
ensure the at the plugs is wired correctly by a suitable qualified
or experienced person.
Ensure the main switch of the front of this amplifier is OFF before
attempting any modification of the mains connection.
MAINS / LINE FUSE ( 230VAC-3,15asb / 115VAC-6 asb )
A Mains / Line fuse is fitted within the IEC Mains / Line socket on
the rear of the amplifier. A small draw at the bottom of this socket
may be removed
(after the IEC plug is removed)
by levering it out
with a flat blade screw driver. The fuse ( american type ) fitted should
be razed at no greater than 6.3 ampere slow blow.
In the unusual event that this fuse should blow, you must first
establish the cause of this failure, cure the fault and then replace
the fuse with one of the same type.
DO NOT FIT A FUSE WITH HIGHER RATING.
