Element 202i / Element 260Ai

2

The Element 202i is integrated power amplifier in AB class capable to
275Wrms for channel into 8 ohm

Element 260Ai is integrated amplifier in pure Class A capable to 60
Wrms for channel into 8 ohm

Circuit of preamplification consist to digital potentiometer PGA2310
Burr Brown who is currently the best potentiometer in high-end
market. With PGA2310, for buffering signal , is used BurrBrown high
slew/rate Operational amplifier for best audio performance for
transfer signal by input board to output power stage

The integrated amp is structured by dual mono technology with 2
800VA transformer encapsulated with resin and in aluminum
enclosure thus eliminating any possible variation of the original audio
signal which would become dirty through electromagnetic fields.

The main power capacitors are designed on our tight specifications.
They have a very high temperature coefficient and aluminum armor.
Together with the resistors in the metal film 1% tolerance and the
decoupling capacitors in polypropylene audiograde we obtained
results certainly real.,

1. For best performance, please read
this manual carefully. Keep it in a safe
place for future reference.

2. Install the unit in a cool, dry, clean
place away from windows, heat
sources, intense vibration, dust,
humidity, cold, and sources of
humming (transformers, motors,
etc.).. To prevent fire or shock hazard
do not expose the unit to water and
moisture.

3. Never open the equipment. If
something should get into all 'inside,
contact your dealer.

4. Do not operate the switches and
other controls with force. When
moving the unit, first disconnect the
power cord and cables connected to
other devices. Never pull the wires
themselves.

5. The voltage used must be
specified.
Using this product with a current

whose voltage is higher than
specified is dangerous and may cause
fire or other damage. EAM LAB is not
responsible for any damage due to an
incorrect use of the appliance

6. Always set the VOLUME control to
min. before starting playback of the
audio source. Gradually increase the
volume to an appropriate level after
playback has started.

7. Do not clean the unit with
chemical solvents: this could ruin the
finish. Instead, use a soft, dry cloth or
denatured alcohol.

8. In case of malfunction, before
concluding that the unit needs to be
repaired, consult the chapter on
"TROUBLESHOOTING".

9. If you are not using the unit for
long periods of time (eg for a
vacation), disconnect the power plug

10. During thunderstorms,
disconnect the power cord to avoid
any lightning damage the unit.

11. Grounding or Polarization: take
the necessary precautions to ensure
that the grounding or polarization are

not canceled.

Before you start to use read following information

Safety information

Unpacking:
Carefully remove from the box your
amplifier and keep the original
carton and packing materials for
future trips, expeditions or long-term
storage

Before the installation :
remove your amplifier, taking care to
keep it in the future if you ever
require to be shipped to a service
center EAMLAB to be overhauled or
repaired.

package contents:
Verify that the following acessories
are included in the package:

remote control, power cord and this
manual.

Replacing Batteries

If the remote control only works
when it is near the unit, the
batteries are weak. Replace the
batteries with new ones.

Note

 For replacement use only

batteries model CR3020.

 Make sure the polarity is

correct

 For change battery

remove 4 screw in bottom
side and leave the
electronic board . battery
are bottom of printed

circuit

Use remote control

The remote control transmits a
directional infrared beam. During
operation, be sure to point the
remote directly at the infrared
sensor.

When the sensor is covered or there
is a large object between the remote
control and the sensor, the sensor is
not receiving the signals. The sensor
may not be able to receive signals
properly when it is exposed to direct
sunlight or strong artificial light (such
as a fluorescent light or a flashing).
In this case, change the direction of
light or reposition the unit to avoid
direct lighting.

Note

• Handle the remote control

carefully.

• Do not spill water or other liquids

on the remote control.

• Do not drop the remote control.

• Do not leave or put away the

remote control in the following
conditions: - High humidity or
temperature such as near a heater, a
stove or a bathroom; _ Dusty; ­Expose to temperatures very low or
very high

check the correct
position of the switch for
connecting balanced XLR
or unbalanced RCA

Main fuse is blow

Current overload

replace with identical
fuse. if the fuse blows
again contact service
center
