Australian Monitor
Warranty 15
6. Warranty
Australian Monitor warrants the original purchaser of
each
Synergy
-Series amplifier (purchased at an
authorised Australian Monitor dealer) that it will be
free from defects in materials and workmanship for a
period of two (2) years from the original date of
purchase.
Australian Monitor will, at its option, repair or replace
any unit or component covered by this warranty
which becomes defective or malfunctions under
normal use and service during the period of this
warranty, at no charge for parts or labour to the
original owner.
This warranty does not cover blown fuses, faulty
fuse contacts, thermal problems due to
obstructed airflow, or defects or malfunctions
resulting from accidents, misuse, abuse,
operation with the incorrect AC mains voltage,
connection to faulty equipment, modification or
alteration without prior factory approval or
service by unauthorised personnel.
It is the owner's responsibility to ensure that normal
maintenance inspections are carried out at regular
intervals as recommended in the maintenance
section of this manual. Australian Monitor reserves
the right to refuse warranty service where the owner
fails to take reasonable care in use and maintenance
of the amplifier.
To validate this warranty, the original purchaser must
complete and mail the warranty registration card
directly to Australian Monitor within fourteen (14)
days of purchase.
To obtain warranty service, the equipment should be
shipped to an authorised Australian Monitor dealer
or direct to Australian Monitor. Freight to Australian
Monitor is at the owner's expense.
Units with a defaced serial number will not be
accepted for warranty service. Any evidence of
alteration, erasure or forgery of the purchase receipt
will also void this warranty.
Australian Monitor accepts no liability for any
consequential damages, whether direct or
indirect, arising from the use or misuse of its
products.
Australian Monitor reserves the right to alter its
designs and specifications at any time without notice
or obligation to previous purchasers.

14 Maintenance
5. Maintenance
Your
Synergy
Series amplifier will need minimal
maintenance. No internal adjustments need to be
made to the unit to maintain optimum performance.
To provide years of unhindered operation we
suggest a maintenance inspection be carried out on
a regular basis, say every 12 months or so.
Fans
Due to the openness of the air path through your
Synergy
Series amplifier, very little dust should settle
within the amplifier. The unit has been designed so
that any dust and/or foreign particles that do settle
within the amplifier will not unduly hinder the cooling
of the unit.
The grille in front of the fans will act to limit the
amount of dust and lint entering the unit. You will find
in time that there will be a build up of dust and lint on
the grille which may start to hinder the airflow through
the unit. You should periodically remove the dust and
keep the grille clean. Removal of dust from the rear
grille will also aid cooling.
Over time, dust may build up on the leading edge of
the fan blades and reduce their cooling efficiency.
The time taken for this to happen will depend on the
environment and the amount of use.
The fan blades are accessible once the lids are
removed and can be easily cleaned. You need only
hold the fan rotor still and wipe the dust off the
blades. Many users
stall
the fan and use
compressed air to blow the dust off the fan blades. It
is important to note that the fan blades must be held
still whilst blowing air over the blades otherwise you
may burn out the bearings in the fan.
Fuses
Along with rear panel mains fuse, there are four (4)
rail fuses provided internally in the unit. These rail
fuses are in series with the positive and negative
output supply to each amplifier channel and provide
overall protection for the output stage. If the amplifier
is subjected to heavy use such as short circuits, 2
ohm or bridged 4 ohm loads, these fuses will
eventually fatigue and may require replacing to
ensure they do not fail at an inconvenient time.
NOTE
Make sure the unit is
off
and is unplugged from the
mains. Give the main filter capacitors time to
discharge before removing lids and inspecting the
fuses.
You should replace the fuse if the element is
sagging or discoloured
. Only ever replace with the
same type fuse and current rating.
When checking for a failed fuse, do not rely on visual
inspection alone. You should use an ohm meter to
check continuity.
Only
competent
or
qualified
persons should
attempt any service or maintenance of your
amplifier.
