AFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.
This unit (referred to as Quad15) must be connected to earth via the AC inlet.
2.
When powering other class I units via any of the three AC outlet sockets on the rear panel of the
Quad 15, always use IEC mains female-male chords with earth conductor.
3.
Do not exceed “Max power from AC OUTLETS” according to Table 1:

4.
Always unplug the unit during lightning storms.
5.
Ambient temperature range: -10 °C to +50 °C
6.
The unit runs hot around the tube chamber. Do not cover the ventilation holes in the bottom, top and rear
plates to avoid excessive temperatures. For 19” rack installation, see section 1.3.
7.
Avoid using the Quad 15 in damp or wet conditions. Do not expose to water or liquids.
8.
Always replace fuses with correct types shown in Table 2:

9.
Make sure the voltage selector is set to correct mains voltage according to your country:
America 115V. Europe 230V. Wrong setting of voltage selector will NOT harm the Quad
15, but only blow the “Quad 15 fuse”.
10.
Do not connect speaker cabinets with a total impedance less than 8 ohm. See section 4.7, page 7.
11.
Do not connect a speaker cable to any of the speaker outputs without connecting the cable to a speaker cabinet.
12.
Servicing and replacement of tubes and fuses shall be performed by qualified service personnel only. See
section 10, “Tube replacement & Bias adjustment”, page 25.
This unit complies with the following standards and directives:
Electro Magnetic Compatibility, (EMC) Directive 2014/30/EU
Low Voltage Directive, (LVD) 2014/35/EU
IEC 62368-1
Audio/video, information and communication equipment. Part 1 - safety requirements
Overheating protection
The apparatus is protected from overheating by a thermo-switch. If the apparatus stop
working due to overheating, turn off the power switch. Make sure to bring the temperature
down and keep the ventilation holes free, then turn on the power switch.
Short circuit protection
of power supply
The internal power supplies are all short circuit protected. In example, if a tube fails, the
HV supply (high voltage) go into current-limiting mode until the thermo-switch
disconnects the power to the apparatus.
Power consumption
Idle ~ 45 W, maximum ~ 55 W
