connected to the IT-Reference 16 E.
The IT-Reference 16 E should be serviced by
qualified service personnel when:
•
The power supply cord or plug has been
frayed or cut.
•
Objects have fallen or liquid has spilled into
the unit.
•
The IT-Reference 16 E has been exposed to
rain or other moisture.
•
The IT-Reference 16 E does not appear to
operate normally, or exhibits a marked
change in performance.
•
The IT-Reference 16 E has been dropped,
or the enclosure damaged.
Power source
The power source to which the IT-Reference
16 E is connected should ideally be adequate
for use at 16 Amps. Though the system may
function with a 10 Amp panel circuit breaker,
nuisance circuit breaker tripping could result
at your service panel. If your system includes
multi-channel audio power amplifiers that
require more than modest power demands,
a circuit breaker with a rating of at least 16
Amps (13 in the U.K.), is essential for optimum
performance.
Placement
The IT-Reference 16 E is manufactured with
four rubber feet for placement on any table,
cabinet, shelf, or floor capable of supporting
its 37 kg weight. These rubber feet may be
easily removed with a standard Philips screw
driver when rack mounting adjacent to other
components. Because of the IT-Reference 16
E’s internal shielding, placement or proximity
to other components is not critical, and the
IT-Reference 16 E does not produce any
appreciable heat under standard use. The
IT- Reference 16 E may also be rack mounted
in a standard 19” (48 cm) rack by attaching
the IT-Reference 16 E rack ears. These rack
ears (contained within the plastic rack kit
package) mount flush with the back portion
of the IT- Reference 16 E’s front panel. They
are attached to the chassis by removing the
(3) countersunk screws on each forward-
side of the chassis top cover. Each rack ear
is installed with pan-head Philips screws
contained within the IT-Reference 16 E rack
mounting kit. Due to the weight of the
IT-Reference 16 E (37 kg.), it is recommended
that placement be at or near the bottom of your
rack when choosing this mounting option.
Connections:
aC Cable Routing
Once the IT-Reference 16 E is placed, the
female end of the AC cord must be plugged
into the male IEC connector located on the
lower left hand side of the rear panel (when
facing the rear panel). Next, the male plug
must be connected to an appropriate socket.
This AC cord will carry substantial unbalanced
AC current, so it should be dressed away
from critical signal-carrying cables, or at the
very least, cross them at a 90 degree angle.
The same is true of the power amplifier AC
cords when plugged into the IT- Reference
16 E’s “High Current - Amplifier Power” AC
filtered outputs. All other components plugged
into “Discrete Symmetrical Power” outlets (A)
through (C) have symmetrical balanced AC
current and will radiate virtually no field; as a
result of this technology, their placement is not
critical.
