When Installing the Unit
• Do not expose the unit to rain or an environment where it may be splashed by water or other liquids, as doing so may result in fire or electric shock.
• Use the unit only with the voltage specified on the unit. Using a voltage higher than that which is specified may result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not cut, kink, otherwise damage nor modify the power supply cord. In addition, avoid using the power cord in close proximity to heaters, and never place heavy objects -- including the unit itself -- on the power cord, as doing so may result in fire or electric shock.
• Owing to the unit's size and weight, be sure that at least two persons are available to install the unit. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
• Do not use other methods than specified to mount the bracket. Extreme force is applied to the unit and the unit could fall off, possibly resulting in personal injuries.
• Use a cable of AWG 16 or thicker (VP-1061 and VP-1121) or AWG 12 or thicker (VP-1241 and VP-
1361) for connecting to the 24 V DC POWER IN terminal. Also, be sure to firmly screw the cable to the terminal. Failure to do so may cause the cable to generate heat, possibly resulting in fire.
• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and the plug (disconnecting device) shall be easily accessible.
• The apparatus shall be connected to a main socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
• The terminals marked with the symbol are hazardous live. The external wiring to these terminals requires installation by an instructed person.
When the Unit is in Use
• Should the following irregularity be found during
use, immediately disconnect the power supply plug from the AC outlet and contact your nearest TOA dealer. Make no further attempt to operate the unit in this condition as this may cause fire or electric shock.
· If you detect smoke or a strange smell coming from the unit
· If water or any metallic object gets into the unit
· If the unit falls, or the unit case breaks
· If the power supply cord is damaged (exposure of the core, disconnection, etc.)
· If it is malfunctioning (no tone sounds.)
• To prevent a fire or electric shock, never open nor remove the unit case as there are high voltage components inside the unit. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
• Do not place cups, bowls, or other containers of liquid or metallic objects on top of the unit. If they accidentally spill into the unit, this may cause a fire or electric shock.
• Do not insert nor drop metallic objects or flammable materials in the ventilation slots of the unit's cover, as this may result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not touch a plug during thunder and lightning, as this may result in electric shock.
• When replacing the fuse, be sure to use the supplied one or equivalent. Doing otherwise may cause fire or electric shock.
When Installing the Unit
• Never plug in nor remove the power supply plug with wet hands, as doing so may cause electric shock.
• When unplugging the power supply cord, be sure to grasp the power supply plug; never pull on the cord itself. Operating the unit with a damaged power supply cord may cause a fire or electric shock.

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The VP-1061 (60 W), VP-1121 (120 W), VP-1241 (240 W), and VP-1361 (360 W) are 1-channel Power Amplifiers designed exclusively for rack mount use.
3. FEATURES
• Both the VP-1061 and VP-1121 are 2U* half rack size amplifiers, mountable either alone or side-by-side in a 19" rack.
• Both the VP-1241 and VP-1361 are 3U* full rack size amplifiers.
• Operate on either 230 V AC or 24 V DC.
• An optional YA-1000A Fault Detection Circuit Module can be installed.
• Equipped with Program and Priority inputs, volume level of Program input can be attenuated whenever the Priority input receives a signal. Attenuation of the volume level is adjustable.
• Input terminals employ removable terminal blocks to provide maximum connection ease.
* 1U size = 44.5 mm (standard size)
4. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
• It is recommended that the unit be always used in locations where the ambient temperature ranges from 0 to +40 °C and humidity is less than 90% (no condensation).
• When cleaning the unit, be sure to disconnect the power supply plug from the AC outlet. Wipe with a soft dry cloth. If it gets very dirty, use the soft cloth slightly moistened in neutral cleanser. Never use thinner, benzene, chemically processed towels, or alcohol as the unit's plastic or other parts may be deformed or discolored.
• When moving the unit, be sure to remove its power supply cord from the AC outlet. Moving the unit with the power supply cord connected to the outlet may cause damage to the power supply cord, resulting in fire or electric shock. When removing the power cord, be sure to hold its plug to pull.
• Do not block the ventilation slots in the unit's cover. Doing so may cause heat to build up inside the unit and result in fire.
• Avoid installing the unit in humid or dusty locations, in locations exposed to the direct sunlight, near the heaters, or in locations generating sooty smoke or steam as doing otherwise may result in fire or electric shock.
• When unpacking or moving the unit, be sure to handle it with two or more persons. Falling or dropping the unit may cause personal injury and/or property damage.
• To avoid electric shocks, be sure to disconnect the power supply plug from the AC outlet when connecting speakers.
• Be sure to follow the instructions below when rack­mounting the unit. Failure to do so may cause a fire or personal injury.
· Install the equipment rack on a stable, hard floor.
Fix it with anchor bolts or take other arrangements
to prevent it from falling down.
· When connecting the unit's power cord to an AC outlet, use the AC outlet with current capacity allowable to the unit.
When the Unit is in Use
• Make sure that the volume control is set to minimum position before power is switched on. Loud noise produced at high volume when power is switched on can impair hearing.
• Do not operate the unit for an extended period of time with the sound distorting. Doing so may cause the connected speakers to heat, resulting in a fire.
• Contact your TOA dealer as to the cleaning. If dust is allowed to accumulate in the unit over a long period of time, a fire or damage to the unit may result.
• If dust accumulates on the power supply plug or in the wall AC outlet, a fire may result. Clean it periodically. In addition, insert the plug in the wall outlet securely.
• Unplug the power supply plug from the AC outlet for safety purposes when cleaning or leaving the unit unused for 10 days or more. Doing otherwise may cause a fire or electric shock.
