IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
HEED ALL WARNINGS.
This unit is powered by potentially hazardous voltage. Therefore, observe
the following safety precautions:
1.
Read and follow all instructions before using
product.
2.
Do not use product near water (such as near
a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, swimming
pool, in a wet basement, etc.).
3.
Unit should be located so that its location or
position does not impede the flow of air through
the ventilation openings.
4.
Product should be located away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, or
other products, including amplifiers, that pro-
duce heat.
5.
Product should be connected to a power
supply only of the type described in the operat-
ing instructions or as marked on the product.
6.
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, con-
venience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.
7.
Do not allow objects or liquids to penetrate the enclosure through openings.
8.
During heavy use, chassis may get hot to the touch. Handle with care.
9.
Protect unit from strong impact.
10.
Unplug product before cleaning. Never spray liquid cleaners into the amp: wipe
with a clean, lint-free cloth to remove dirt and film.
11.
Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12.
This product should be used only with a cart or stand that is
recommended by the manufacturer. When a cart is used, use cau-
tion when moving the cart/product combination to avoid injury from
tipping over.
13.
Amplifiers may be capable of producing high volume levels that
could cause permanent hearing loss or damage, if the exposure to
such levels is prolonged. Such damage is progressive and irreversible! If you experi-
ence any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult an audiologist.
14.
Unplug unit during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of
time.
15.
This unit must be earth grounded. To reduce the risk of electric shock, NEVER
remove or otherwise attempt to defeat the ground pin of the power cord. If the provided
plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete
outlet.
WARNING:
To avoid the risk of fire, electric shock or injury, do not expose this unit to
rain or moisture. Do not remove the chassis from its cabinet, or remove metal covering
from chassis parts. Removing the chassis from its cabinet exposes extremely danger-
ous high voltages. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Hazardous voltages are
present inside the chassis. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
CAUTION:
Never modify the power cord. If original power cord becomes damaged,
frayed, or has exposed wires, replace immediately with same rating and gauge, or high-
er. Replacements are commercially available or you can contact Tech 21 directly.
WARNING:
Attempting to repair this unit is not recommended and may void its
warranty. NOTE: In the U.S. and Canada, servicing is performed at factory only. In
other countries, please refer repairs to the local Tech 21 authorized distributor.
FUSE
Fuse holder is located inside A/C cord receptacle.
You must unplug and
remove power cord to change fuse.
Replace with similar type and same
value:
100V and 117V units: use F 1A L
230V and 240V units: use F 0.5A L
QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS
Get your SansAmp RPM up and running before reading the entire manual. But by not
reading the manual, you’ll miss out on getting the most out of your new investment!
1. Plug your instrument into the front panel Input jack (on the left side).
2. Connect either the 1/4" or XLR SansAmp Output with the input of your mixer, power
amp, powered monitor or amp.
3. Attach the AC cord to the unit and plug into a wall socket. Set the Level and XLR
controls to minimum, then turn the SansAmp RPM on and engage the Active Switch.
4. Turn on the mixer or amp and bring up the Level or XLR controls of the SansAmp
RPM. If the signal is too “hot,” resulting in unwanted distortion, or too weak, check the
mixer’s or amp’s input control as well as the Level control of the SansAmp RPM.
5. Play your instrument and you should hear sound coming through your system. If not,
check that your instrument’s volume control is turned up, recheck your connections, and be
sure your cable isn’t faulty. If there is still no sound, refer to factory or qualified technician.
