This amplifier will only operate to its very high specification if it is installed and operated as described in this
manual.
INTRODUCTION
Your
T Series
power amplifier is a no compromise, high quality, class AB power amplifier. There is no dynamic
switching of the audio or power rails (a very common method of achieving extra power at the expense of audio
quality) thus ensuring optimum sonic performance.
Fan speed is varied as required to keep the amplifier within its temperature limits. Signal limiters are included to
protect speakers from clipped signals.
The amplifiers include full DC and short circuit protection to ensure trouble-free service even in ‘harsher’
environments.
INSTALLATION
:
ELECTRICAL
The amplifier has been manufactured to comply with your local power supply requirements, but before connecting
the unit to the supply, ensure that the voltage (printed on the rear panel) is correct, and that a mains fuse of the
correct type and rating has been fitted (EXCEPT CT 160 WITH CIRCUIT BREAKER).
Make sure power outlets conform to the power requirements listed on the back of the unit. Damage caused by
connecting to improper AC voltage is not covered by the warranty.
SAFETY WARNING
This unit is fitted with a 3-wire power connector. For safety reasons, THE EARTH LEAD SHOULD NOT BE
DISCONNECTED IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. If ground loops are encountered consult the section on input connections
later in this manual.
WHERE A FIXED MAINS LEAD IS FITTED, THE WIRING COLOURS ARE:
230V AREAS:
EARTH = GREEN AND YELLOW
NEUTRAL = BLUE
LIVE = BROWN
120V AREAS:
EARTH = GREEN
NEUTRAL = WHITE
LIVE = BLACK
TO PREVENT THE LIKELIHOOD OF SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THE UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
DO
NOT PLACE OBJECTS CONTAINING LIQUID ON TOP OF THE APPARATUS.
TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK DO NOT REMOVE COVERS. REFER ALL SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
DO NOT USE THE UNIT IF THE ELECTRICAL POWER CORD IS FRAYED OR BROKEN. The power supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular
attention to cords and plugs and the point where they exit from the appliance.
ALWAYS OPERATE THE UNIT WITH THE AC GROUND WIRE CONNECTED TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM GROUND.
Precautions should be taken so that the means of grounding of a piece of equipment is not defeated.
DO NOT REMOVE THE LID. Removing the lid will expose you to potentially dangerous voltages. There are no user
serviceable parts inside.
