Safety messages explained

Four types of signs can be used in this manual. The type is closely related to the effect that may be caused if it is not observed. These signs - from least severe effect to most severe effect - are:
Notice!
Containing additional information. Usually, not observing a ‘notice’ does not result in damage
to the equipment or personal injuries.
Caution!
The equipment or the property can be damaged, or persons can be lightly injured if the alert
is not observed.
Warning!
The equipment or the property can be seriously damaged, or persons can be severely injured
if the alert is not observed.
Danger!
Not observing the alert can lead to severe injuries or death.

Safety precautions

Speaker system damage and protection of human beings
Power amps provide extremely high power output that might be dangerous for human beings as well as for the connected speaker systems. High output voltages can damage or even destroy the connected speaker systems, especially, when the amplifier is operated in bridged mode. Prior to connecting any loudspeakers, make sure to check the speaker system’s specifications for continuous and peak power handling capacities. Even if amplification has been reduced through lowering the input level controls on the amplifier’s front panel, it is still possible to achieve full power output with a sufficiently high input signal.
Danger!
Danger at the loudspeaker/power outputs
Power amplifiers are capable of producing dangerously high voltage output that is present at
the output connectors.
To protect yourself from electric shock, do not touch any blank speaker cables during
operation of the power amp.
Danger!
The terminals marked with a lightning bolt are hazardous live and the external wiring
connected to these terminals requires installation by an instructed person or the use of ready-
made leads of cords.
Danger!
In case of using the amplifier with speakers including a primary tapped transformer, it is
possible that during operation shock hazard voltages may be present at the taps of the
transformer.
Therefore, the taps have to be insulated sufficiently in accordance with applicable safety
regulations.

Unpacking and inspection

3.4
Carefully open the packaging and take out the power amplifier. Inspect the power amp’s enclosure for damages that might have happened during transportation. Each amplifier is examined and tested in detail before leaving the manufacturing site to ensure that it arrives in perfect condition at your place. Please inform the transport company immediately, if the power amplifier shows any damage. Being the addressee, you are the only person who can claim damages in transit. Keep the cardboard box and all packaging materials for inspection by the transport company. Keeping the cardboard box including all packing materials is also recommended, if the power amplifier shows no external damages.
Caution!
Do not ship the power amp in any other but its original packaging.
When shipping the power amp, make sure to always use its original box and packaging materials. Packing the power amplifier like it was packed by the manufacturer guarantees optimum protection from transport damage.

Installation

Operating voltage

The power amplifier receives its power supply via the MAINS IN connector. Only the provided power cord may be used. During installation, always separate the power amplifier from the mains. Connect the power amplifier only to a mains network, which corresponds to the requirements indicated on the type plate.

Power

The L Series power button is located on the front of the amplifier panel. The C Series power switch is located on the rear of the amplifier panel.

L Series

The Power button on the front panel separates the power amp from the mains. Pressing the Power button turns on the power amp. A soft start circuit compensates mains inrush current peaks and thus prevents triggering AC mains fuse when switching on the amplifier. Speaker system switch-on is delayed by approximately two seconds via output relays, effectively suppressing any possible power-on noise, which otherwise might be heard through the loudspeakers.
5.2.2
Figure 5.1: Power button on the front panel (L Series)

C Series

The Power/Standby switch on the rear panel is used to turn on the power to the amplifier or put the amplifier into standby mode. To separate the amplifier from the mains it is required to disconnect the mains power connection. A soft start circuit compensates mains inrush current peaks and thus prevents the automatic cutout of the mains from reacting when switching on the power amplifier. Speaker system switch-on is delayed by approximately two seconds via output relays, effectively suppressing any possible power-on noise, which otherwise might be heard through the loudspeakers. PROTECT-LED lights up and fans are at high speed during this delay. This indicates all protections are working fine.
