The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within
an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the
user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous
voltage” within the products enclosure, that may
be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user of the
presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.
READ INSTRUCTIONS
All the safety and operating instructions of your Hafler equipment should be read before power is applied to the
equipment.
RETAIN OWNERS MANUAL
These safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
HEED WARNINGS
All warnings on the equipment and in the operating instructions are important and should be followed.
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
All operating and use instructions are important and should be followed.
HEAT
The equipment should be kept away from areas of high temperature, such as heater vents, radiators, stoves/ovens,
fireplaces, etc.
The equipment should be used in an area suitable for proper ventilation. Care should be taken not to impede airflow
in and around the cabinet. Do not mount on a carpeted shelf or in a sealed enclosure. Allow for proper clearance above
the equipment.
WATER AND MOISTURE
The equipment should not be used in or around water, such as a bathtub, sink, or swimming area. Also, the equipment
should not be used in areas prone to flooding, such as a basement.
The equipment should be connected only to a power source of the same voltage and frequency as that listed on the
rear panel above the power cord entry point.
POWER CORD PROTECTION
Power cords should be arranged so that they do not interfere with the movement of objects in the room: people, fan
blades, utility carts, etc. Also, care should be taken that the cord is not pinched or cut, and placed so that it is not in
danger of being pinched or cut, as in under a rug, around a tight corner, etc.
POWER CORD GROUNDING
The power supply cord is of a three wire grounded type, designed to reduce the risk of electric shock sustained from
a live cabinet. It is assumed to be of suitable length for most uses of the equipment. The use of extension cords and
power strips is discouraged unless they are of suitable rating to deliver the required total current for safe operation of
all connected equipment.
Furthermore, extension cords or power strips must provide the same three wire grounded
connection.
It is important that the blades of the equipment’s plug be able to fully insert into the mating receptacle.
Never remove the round grounding pin on the plug in an attempt to mate to a two wire ungrounded receptacle: use
a grounding adaptor with the grounding tab or wire suitably connected to earth ground.

11.
NON-USE PERIODS
During periods of extended non-use, the power cord should be unplugged from the power source.
12.
CLEANING
The equipment should be cleaned only as detailed in the operating instructions.
13.
OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY
Care should be taken so that objects and/or liquids, such as cleaning fluids or beverages, are not spilled into the
enclosure of the equipment.
14.
DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE
Hafler equipment should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A.
The power supply cord or plug has been damaged, or
B.
Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the equipment, or
C.
The equipment has been exposed to rain, or
D.
The equipment does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance, or
E.
The equipment has been dropped, or the enclosure has been damaged.
15.
SERVICING
The user should not attempt to service the equipment beyond that which is described in the operating instructions.
All other service should be referred to qualified service personnel.
16.
CARTS AND STANDS
The equipment should be used with carts or stands only of sufficient strength and stability for the use intended.
An equipment and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops and starts, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the equipment and cart combination to topple.

INSTALLATION

VENTILATION/
PLACEMENT
LINE VOLTAGE
The 9130 Amplifier is supplied in either a 17” Black Version, or a 19” Silver Version. The 19” model
has rackmounting holes provided for installation in equipment racks. The holes are on standard EIA
spacings.
Due to conflict with adjacent equipment, it may be advisable to remove the four rubber feet
from the bottom of the unit. The feet may be removed from the outside, with no dis-assembly of the
chassis necessary.
The 9130 Amplifier can produce considerable heat during normal operation. The amplifier should be
placed on a hard, smooth surface to allow air to circulate beneath the unit. Additionally, allow at least
one inch of free space on either side, and several inches above and behind the amplifier to allow air
circulation around the heatsinks. This is particularly important when the unit is installed in a closed
cabinet.
In applications where the amplifier is driving low impedance and/or low efficiency loudspeakers at high
levels, thermal shutdown may occur if inadequate ventilation is provided. If this occurs, it may be
necessary to move the amplifier to a location with better free air circulation.
The amplifier should be located at least several inches away from sensitive components, (such as
preamplifiers, tuners, CD players, turntables, etc.) due to the possibility of audible hum or buzz from
magnetic radiation.
The 9130 Amplifier is configurable for either 100, 120, or 230 volt operation. This is accomplished by
moving the Voltage Selector on the printed circuit board. The procedure is detailed in the section
“CHANGING LINE VOLTAGE RATING”.
Make sure that the unit is configured for your local AC line voltage before attempted use. The
configuration is
labelled
directly above the power cord connector. (Units wired for 230VAC may be used
over a range of 220 to 240VAC.)
OPERATION/CONNECTIONS
POWER CORD
CONNECTION/
POWER SWITCH
INPUTS
Units wired for 100 and 230 VAC are supplied without power cords. Local agents will supply cords with
male connectors appropriate to the local standard.
Units wired for
120
VAC are supplied with a detachable AC power cord. The female connector plugs
into the receptacle provided on the rear panel. This power cord is a standard IEC Type 320, 3-wire,
16 gauge assembly. Should replacement ever be necessary, be sure to replace it with an identical cord.
Never remove the grounding pin from the male end of the cord. In applications where a grounded outlet
is not available, a ground adaptor should be employed, with the ground tab or wire of the adaptor
connected to a suitable earth ground.
The AC power cord of the amplifier must be connected to a receptacle capable of delivering a minimum
of 600 watts. The convenience outlets of some preamplifiers are not rated for this power level. Before
connecting the amplifier, be sure to check the rating of such outlets, and take into account the power
consumption of any other connected components to determine the total maximum power consumption.
If the amplifier is connected to a component with a switched convenience outlet, then the amplifier’s
Power Switch may be left ON at all times, and the power controlled by the switched outlet. If the amplifier
is connected to an
unswitched
outlet, then the amplifier’s power should be controlled by the front panel
Power Switch.
All input connections to the amplifier must be performed with the amplifier off!
The left and right audio inputs to the amplifier are via standard RCA jacks. Connect these jacks to the
output of the preamplifier or other signal source.
When operating the amplifier in the Mono Mode, only the left channel input should be used.
