Page 8 Crest Audio CK Power Processing Amplifiers
Replacing or Installing a Network Module.
The amplifier must be switched off and unplugged from the AC
mains supply before this operation is undertaken. Four Phillips head
screws secure the module to the chassis. The module is connected
electrically to the amplifier via multi-pin ribbon cables. Unplugging
the module from the ribbon cable connectors frees the module for
removal. To insert the same or another module, simply reverse this
procedure. Note: Standard CK Power Processing amplifiers come
with a blank panel installed in the Network bay. The amplifier must
not be operated without a Network module or blank panel in place.
Signal Ground Lift Jumper.
Whenever possible, the signal source equipment should share the
same AC ground as the amplifier(s). In some cases, however, partic-
ularly if an amplifier is being installed in an existing system, this
may result in a ground loop. If this happens, remove the factory-
installed ground lift jumper from the output barrier strip (located on
the Power/Output module), which electrically connects the signal
ground to the chassis/AC ground. If the jumper is removed, the sig-
nal ground is lifted and is clamped to ± 0.6V. Don’t remove the
jumper if the amplifier and the signal source equipment are not on
the same AC ground!
In a properly designed system (for safety and to minimize noise), the
amplifier should receive its ground from the AC line cord. The shield
on a balanced input line should be grounded at one end only (usually
the sending end), and it must never be relied on to supply AC ground
to the amplifier.
