SAFETY COMPONENT (MUST BE REPLACED BY ORIGINAL PART)
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 readymade 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.

|
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. |
|||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||
|
|

Installation |
5.1 |
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. |
5.2 |
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. |
5.2.1 |
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.
|
Figure 5.1: Power button on the front panel (L Series) |
5.2.2 |
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.
