Electrical Considerations
The amplifier is fitted with a universal power supply which will operate world-wide — no user
setting is required.
Make sure power outlets conform to the power requirements listed on the back of the unit.
Damage caused by connecting to improper AC voltage is not covered by the warranty.
SAFETY WARNING
Where a MAINS plug or appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, it should remain
readily operable.
Where the amplifier is mounted in a rack and permanently connected to the mains, then the
rack should be installed with a readily accessible connector or an ALL POLE circuit breaker
with 3mm breaking distances.
For safety reasons,
THE EARTH LEAD SHOULD NOT BE DISCONNECTED IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE
.
If ground loops are encountered consult the section on connecting your amplifier on page 14.
The wiring colours are:
230V AREAS:
EARTH = GREEN AND YELLOW
120V AREAS:
EARTH = GREEN
NEUTRAL = BLUE
NEUTRAL = WHITE
LIVE = BROWN
LIVE = BLACK
DO NOT USE THE UNIT IF THE ELECTRICAL POWER CORD IS FRAYED OR BROKEN. The
power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords and plugs and the
point where they exit from the appliance.
ALWAYS OPERATE THE UNIT WITH THE AC GROUND WIRE CONNECTED TO THE ELECTRICAL
SYSTEM GROUND. Precautions should be taken so that the means of grounding of a piece of
equipment is not defeated.
DO NOT REMOVE THE LID. Removing the lid will expose you to potentially dangerous
voltages. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
