13 POWER
At the risk of stating the obvious, this switch is used to
turn the PLEASURE PUMP 500 on and off. Before you turn
on the amp do make sure that the “MUTE” switch (#9) is
depressed. Activating the POWER SWITCH (the top of
the switch must be depressed towards the amp chassis)
will make the blue line on the front panel (#12) illumi-
nate. The amp is OFF when the bottom of the POWER
SWITCH is depressed – the blue line (#12) will no longer
illuminate.
Before you plug in do make sure that the voltage is
correct (see #15)!
14 POWER RECEPTACLE
Connect the supplied AC power cord to the power re-
ceptacle. Make sure the IEC plug is firmly inserted in the
socket. The other end of the cable should be connected
to any standard grounded AC outlet or into a power strip
of proper
voltage. Before you plug in do make sure that the voltage
is correct (see #15)! Just in case you lose the cord pro-
vided, the jack accepts a standard 3-prong IEC cord like
those found on most professional gear and computers
– you can get one at any electronics, music or computer
store.
Never (!) remove or otherwise attempt to defeat
the ground pin of the power cord in order to get rid
of a hum induced by a ground loop
.
14a POWER FUSE
The PUMA is fused for your and its own protection. If
you suspect a blown fuse, disconnect the cord, pull out
the FUSE DRAWER (#14a, located just below the cord
receptacle) and replace the fuse with another suitable
fuse. There should be a spare fuse in the fuse drawer..
When you’re in a country with a standard of 115 volts set
the “VOLTAGE SELECTOR” (#15) accordingly.
If two fuses blow in a row, something is very
wrong. Do not open the unit. Refer service to quali-
fi ed service personnel.
15 VOLTAGE SELECTOR
The PLEASURE PUMP 500 features a “VOLTAGE SELEC-
TOR” allowing you to use your amplifi er anywhere in
the world just by the flick of a switch. The unit is set to
230 V when we ship to a country in Europe. Should you
wish to use your PUMA in the USA set the “VOLTAGE
SELECTOR” to “115 V”.
ATTENTION: Don’t forget to set it back to “230 V”
when you return home! TecAmp cannot be made
responsible for damages to the unit caused by
improper voltage selection. Therefore it is a good
idea to always check the “VOLTAGE SELECTOR”
before powering up the unit.
16 SPEAKER OUT
PLEASURE PUMP 500 sports one Neutrik Speakon
®
Com-
bo NLJ2 MD-V speaker output.
Just make sure that
the minimum load of the power amp is no less than
4 ohms.
Thus you can connect two 8 ohms speakers or
one 4 ohms speaker.
Whatever your setup is, always make sure that
the speaker cables are as long as necessary but
as short as possible, using heavy gauge cable
(we recommend at least 2 x 2.5 mm
2
). Do stick to
speaker cables with Speakon
®
connectors only,
either NL2FC (two pin connector) or NL4FC (four
pin connector). No matter which plug you use the
“hot” wire must be connected to pin “1+” and the
“cold” wire to pin “1-“. This Speakon
®
Combo so-
cket is also able to handle a 1/4“ jack. High quality
TECAMP speaker cables can be obtained as an
option.
The output power of the PLEASURE PUMP 500 is 500
Watt @ 4 Ohms.
