ENVIRONMENTAL NOTICE
Here are very important instructions to follow before to power on your Amplitude
8
:
I. It is imperative that the Amplitude
8
be connected to a ground via its three wire AC power cord. It is important
that the AC power outlet, which the Amplitude
8
is plugged into, is actually grounded. Failure to do so will severely
compromise the performance, reliability and safety of use of the Amplitude
8
.
II. Ventilation is an important issue when placing the Amplitude
8
in a system. Make certain that the Amplitude
8
is
placed in a well-ventilated area or rack unit.
III. Please take note that some powerline conditioners defeat the AC power ground on their outlets. If the
intention is to plug the Amplitude
8
into a line conditioner, check with your dealer to make certain that the
particular conditioner that is intended for use DOES NOT DEFEAT THE AC GROUND on its AC outlets. Only the
highest powered line conditioners should be considered for use with the Amplitude
8
. Otherwise, the amplifier’s
power output may be compromised.
IV. DO NOT remove any cover panels from the Amplitude
8
, as there are no user serviceable components inside.
Refer servicing and updating to qualified service personnel only.
V. It is imperative that the Amplitude
8
be operated in a well ventilated environment and the immediate external
temperature be maintained as specified in Appendix B of this manual. External cooling fans may be required in
some cases. Do not stack any equipment directly above or below the Amplitude 8, to protect it from overheating,
as well as the continued functionality of any equipment near and around it.
2.
OPERATION
Before turning on the Amplitude
8
, ensure that all precautions and warnings have been carefully
reviewed and adhered to. Damage to the Amplitude
8
caused by improper operation, wiring and/or
ventilation will not be covered under warranty and Trinnov Audio will not be liable for any
consequential damage or loss.
After the main rear power switches are turned on, the amp goes into Standby. The amplifier is
completely off, save for a very small (and low power) supply to power the soft start circuit. When the
Standby button is pressed, the soft start sequence begins and the LED turns green. Several relay
clicks may be heard while the amplifier readies itself for operation. When the turn-on sequence is
complete the LED will illuminate blue and the amp will be fully on. Pressing the Standby button again
takes the amp directly into the standby mode.
2.2
REMOTE TRIGGERS
Use
the
remote
trigger
to
connect
to
a
compatible
preamplifier,
source
device
or
other
product
with
5
to
12
VDC
output.
When
so
interconnected,
the
Amplitude
8
will
turn
on
and
off
in
response
to
the
signals
received
from
the
source
device.
The
trigger
circuit
requires
a
steady-state
signal.
Units
that
send
a
pulse
signal
for
turn-on
and
turn-off
will
not
work
with
the
Amplitude
8
.
The trigger output will pass through the steady-state signal received on the trigger input to switch downstream devices
on and off.
