INSTALL & CONNECT
The equipment
must be correctly grounded
(ground resistance, Rg = 30 Ohm or less).
The environment must be dry and dustless. Do not expose the unit to rain or water
splashes, and do not place liquid containers or incandescent objects like candles on top of
the unit.
Do not obstruct the ventilation grilles
with any kind of material. If the device requires any
intervention and/or connection/disconnection, it must be first powered off.
Do not handle the speaker output terminals
with your device turned on, there are high
voltages. The output cabling should be connected by a qualified technician. Otherwise only
use pre-made flexible cables. There are no user serviceable parts inside the amplifier.
Non-compliance with the instructions or neglecting warnings may cause
malfunction or even damage the unit.
•
Avoid turning on the device without the speakers connecte
d to its outputs and
without having previously set the volume/gain controls to minimum level.
•
Always use shielded cables
to make connections between devices.
•
In an amplifier, avoid placing the speaker output cables close to other signal
cables
(micro, line…). This may cause the system to oscillate, damaging the
amplifier and speakers.

LOCATION, ASSEMBLY AND VENTILATION
Vida series devices have a
19" rack format (2RU).
It is very important not to enclose the amplifier or expose it to extreme temperatures as it
generates heat.
It is also necessary to promote the passage of fresh air through the
ventilation holes of the chassis
. The ventilation system forces the air flow, front to back,
through the unit.
If multiple products are installed in the same rack or in a cabinet with closed doors, it is
highly recommended to install fans in their upper and lower ends for a forced airflow from
the bottom up. This upward air flow will help to dissipate the heat generated inside.
It is advisable
not to place power amplifiers under other appliances
, but upon these
ones, leaving at least one rack unit off between each device and installed above and below
it in the rack frame.
