Installation and wiring

Carefully unpack the unit and store the original packing material carefully. The
carton and packing are specially designed for this unit and will be needed again
if you wish to move the equipment at any time.
If you have to transport the device, it must always be carried or sent in its original
packaging in order to prevent damage and defects.


The device is extremely heavy - caution is required when unpacking and
transporting it. Always lift and transport the device with two persons.
Legal requirements pertaining to the lifting of heavy loads prohibit the transport
of the device by women.
Ensure that you have a firm, secure hold on the device. Do not let it fall. Wear
safety footwear when moving the device. Take care not to stumble. Ensure an
unobstructed area of movement by removing obstacles and possible hindrances
from the route.
Take care when lowering the device! To avoid your fingers being crushed,
ensure that they are not trapped between the device and the support surface.
If the unit gets very cold (e. g. when being transported), condensation may form
inside it. Please do not switch it on until it has had plenty of time to warm up to
room temperature, so that any condensation evaporates completely.
If the device has been in storage, or has not been used for a protracted period
(> two years), it is essential to have it checked by a specialist technician before
re-use.
Before placing the unit on sensitive laquer or wood surfaces please check the
compatibility of the surface and the unit's feet on a non visible point and if
necessary use an underlay. We recommend a surface of stone, glass, metal or
the like.
The unit should be placed on a rigid, level base (See also chapter
“Safety
notes”
). When placing the unit on resonance absorbers or anti-resonant
components make sure that the stability of the unit is not reduced.
The unit should be set up in a well ventilated dry site, out of direct sunlight and
away from radiators.
The unit must not be located close to heat-producing objects or devices, or
anything which is heat-sensitive or highly flammable.
Mains and loudspeaker cables, and also remote control leads must be kept as
far away as possible from signal leads and antenna cables. Never run them
over or under the unit.

Notes on connections:

Always tighten the Power Link plug fully. Check carefully that the plug is not
tilted or skewed when it is screwed in place. Note the markings on the socket
and plug (see wiring diagram in Appendix A).

Do not switch the PS 3000 HV on unless the Power Link cable is properly
inserted and tightened.

The H
LINK
socket of the integrated amplifier should be connected to the
H
LINK
socket of the source devices (see wiring diagram in Appendix A).

The device is intended to be connected to mains outlet with protective earth
connector. Please connect it only with the mains cable supplied to a properly
installed mains outlet with protective earth connector. To achieve maximum
possible interference rejection the mains plug must be connected to the mains
socket in such a way that phase is connected to the mains socket contact
marked with a dot (

).

Do not use switchable mains sockets, such as switched multiple-outlet
sockets.

Brief interruptions in the power supply may cause the mains fuse fitted to the
PS 3000 HV to trip.

It is essential to check that the mains socket you wish to use can supply the
power required for the equipment.
(The power consumed by the PS 3000 HV in conjunction with the A 3000 HV /
PA 3100 HV can be up to 3300 W!)

When you have completed the wiring of the system switch the system on.
If you encounter problems when setting up and using the integrated amplifier for
the first time please remember that the cause is often simple, and equally
simple to eliminate. Please refer to the section of these instructions entitled
'Trouble shooting' .
