3.2 Cooling
Under normal operation of the power amp, overheating should never be a
problem. The air is taken in from the front and out through the back. It is
of course essential that, while the power amp is running, the air is able to
circulate around it freely. The efficiency of the cooling will depend on both
the immediate environment (e.g. an enclosed rack, direct sunlight) and
that the front filter is clogged. If the amp is installed in a case, the open
area at the back of the case must be at least 140 cm². This area should be
in line with the amp. If this cannot be achieved, a forced ventilation system
has to be used.
3.3. Mains
3.3.1 Mains supply
Only connect the
LINUS10
amplifier to an appropriate AC circuit and outlet
in accordance with the requirements indicated in the second line on the
rating plate. Only use mains cables with original Neutrik powerCON
®
32 A
connectors for safety reasons.
For installation mains cable and amplifier protection, we recommend the
use of a 16 A mains breaker with C-type tripping characteristic for 230 V
operation for
each
LINUS10
amplifier! (or a 30 – 32 A breaker for 120 V
operation respectively)
Please do NOT use much larger mains breakers than recommended
here and especially do NOT connect several LINUS10 amplifiers to
one single (very large) breaker.
Always respect this rule of thumb for good installation practice for
guaranteeing long term reliable, robust and safe operation:
One LINUS10 – One circuit breaker
As soon as the amplifier is connected to mains, the primary capacitors are
charged through the inrush current limiter. At the same time the auxil-
liary power supply is activated, generating a 5 V standby voltage to the
main controller and the display. This allows powering up the main SMPS
from the switch on the amplifiers front panel.
NOTE: Turning the amplifier off from the user interface (1/0 switch) does
not disconnect the amplifier from mains.
Disconnecting the amplifier from the mains can only be achieved by
physically removing / disconnecting the mains cable. The mains cable
therefore has to be freely accessible at all times.
Attention: Never unplug the powerCON
®
connector while the amplifier
is playing music. Always turn the amplifier off from the display menu
®
(see chapter 4.2) before disconnecting the powerCON connector.
Alternatively, you can disconnect the amplifier from the mains via an
external all-pole disconnection (e.g. a mains breaker).
Disconnect the mains cable during a lightning storm or when the amplifier
remains unused or unsupervised for a prolonged period of time.
If a power cut occurs while the amplifier is switched on, it will restart auto-
matically once the mains distribution has been restored. All settings prior
to the loss of power will be maintained.
