Installing Your Amplifier:  Electrical Considerations 

 

The amplifier has been manufactured to comply with your local power supply requirements, 

but before connecting the unit to the supply, ensure that the voltage (printed on the rear 
panel) is correct. 

 
The amplifier is fitted with either a 100/120V or 220/240V tapped transformer according to 

customer requirements. 
 
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.  

 
This unit is fitted with a 3-wire power cord.  

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 11. 

 
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. 

 

ESD strikes to the unit’s front panel that are in excess of 4000 volts may cause disturbance to 
the status LEDs on the unit. This will not affect audio performance and will be corrected on 

the next power up cycle.
