DESCRIPTION

UNPACKING & WARRANTY

Carefully open the packaging and take out the power amplifier. Next to the power amplifier itself, the package also includes this owner’s manual, a mains cord and the warranty certificate. Keep the original invoice, which states the purchase/delivery date together with the warranty certificate at a safe place.

INSTALLATION NOTES

Generally, installing or mounting CP-Series power amps should be carried out in a way that guarantees continuously unopposed front-to-rear air circulation. Installation of appliances with opposite air circulation within one cabinet or closed rack shelf system is not recommendable. When including appliances in a closed cabinet or rack shelf system make sure to provide sufficient ventilation. Leave a gap of at least 60mm x 330mm (up to the cabinet’s top ventilation louvers) for air circulation between the rear of the power amplifier and the cabinet’s/rack’s rear inner wall. Make sure to leave at least 100mm of space above the cabinet or rack shelf system. Since temperatures inside of the cabinet or rack shelf system can easily rise up to 40°C during operation, bearing in mind the maximally allowable environmental temperatures for all other appliances installed in the same rack shelf system is mandatory (also refer to

“MAINS OPERATION AND RESULTING TEMPERATURE”).

Caution: For trouble-free operation exceeding the maximally allowable environmental temperature of +40°C is not permissible.

To prevent the front panel from bending, the use of installation rails or optionally available “rear-rack- mount” rails is obligatory when installing the appliance in a rack shelf system or cabinet.

The power amplifier has to be protected against: dripping or splashing water, direct sunlight, high temperatures or direct influence of heat sources, high humidity, extensive dust and vibrations.

If guaranteeing the listed requirements is not possible on a long-term basis, regular servicing is absolutely mandatory to prevent the power amplifier from possible failure, mainly being caused by negative environmental effects.

Condensation on internal parts may occur when transporting the power amplifier from a cold into a warmer environment. In that case operation is only permissible after the appliance has gained the new temperature (after approximately one hour). If foreign objects or liquids have entered the power amp’s enclosure, make sure to immediately separate the appliance from the mains power and contact an authorized service center for inspection before continuing operation.

FCC INFORMATION (U.S.A)

1.IMPORTANT: Do not modify this unit! Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user`s authority, granted by the FCC, to operate the equipment.
