AC VOLTAGE, INSTALLATION, AND RACK MOUNTING

115v - 230v AC Voltage Selector Switch
This switch is found on the chassis bottom. Make sure the 115/230V switch is set for the cor-
rect AC line (mains) voltage before you connect the Ztuner’s power cord and before you install
it. The unit may be seriously damaged if this switch is set incorrectly.
Installation and Ventilation Requirements
Install your Ztuner away from heat sources such as heating ducts, radiators, or other heat-producing
components. Always position the Ztuner horizontally.
Observe the following ventilation guidelines when installing the Ztuner in an equipment rack
or any other enclosed space:
You should never install the Ztuner in an unventilated equipment cabinet or compartment because
hot air will not exhaust adequately to prevent overheating. Air won’t often circulate adequately in a
cabinet or enclosure whose front and back sides are open; pockets of intense heat can still develop
around any heat-producing equipment. Therefore, a ventilation fan is highly recommended. Allow
a few inches of empty space on each side and above the unit and try to avoid crowding or stacking
the Ztuner tightly between other components. A ventilation fan is also recommended where other
heat-producing equipment must be mounted close to the Ztuner.
Do not place the unit on carpeting or any other material that could obstruct air flow into the ven-
tilation holes in its chassis bottom.
Rack Mounting
The Ztuner occupies only half the width of a single rack space in a standard 19" equipment rack.
For rack mounting, you can fasten it to another Parasound Z series model by using the Parasound
SBS (Side-by-Side) mounting kit. You can also mount a single Ztuner in the rack with the accessory
Zblank panel. The SBS includes four rack mount bolts plus four pairs of plastic “shoulder washers.”
The washers are important because they insulate the Ztuner front panel (and chassis) from the
metal equipment rack and from the four mounting bolts. Locate these washers on both sides of
the front panel before the mounting bolts are screwed into the rack rail.
