Installation, Heat rise, AC Power Considerations

Installation

Read and follow all instructions and all important safety instructions in the HRSIW8 amplifier manual. Here follows a summary of the amplifier installation notes:

•The amplifier may be rack mounted using the supplied rack ears. It will fit into a standard 1U, 19 inch rack space. Allow a minimum of 1 free rack space above and below for ventilation. This is very important.

•The amplifier may also be placed on a shelf, supported on its feet. Make sure it is not placed on car- peting or similar that may obscure its ventilation openings.

•Never open the amplifier cabinet as this might result in an electrical shock to you, or damage to the unit. There are no user-servicable components inside.

•Protect the amplifier from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and other direct sources of heat, such as heating vents and radiators.

•To prevent fire or shock, do not expose the amplifier or subwoofer to rain or moisture. If fluid or a for- eign object should enter either unit, immediately turn off the power and contact your Sunfire Dealer.

•Avoid excessive exposure to extreme cold or dust.

•Do not place heavy objects on top of the amplifier.

Heat rise

•Allow adequate ventilation around the top and sides of the amplifier.

•Allow adequate ventilation if you are rack-mounting the amplifier.

AC Power Considerations

Ensure that the amplifier is plugged into an outlet capable of supplying the correct voltage specified for your model.

Unplug your amplifier’s power cord from the electrical outlet if it will be left unused for a long period of time.

Route the power-supply cord so it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against it, especially at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where it exits from the unit.

Before making or changing any connections, ALWAYS make sure that the amplifier and your other components are turned OFF. Also turn down the volume control of the subwoofer amplifier and your preamplifier or receiver.

Speaker Level connections

The amplifier’s speaker level outputs can accept speaker wires with banana, dual-banana, bare wire, pins or spade terminals. If you have banana type con- nectors on your speaker wire, make sure that you tighten the binding posts before inserting.

Make sure that the negative speaker wires never touch the positive wires as this will short out and possibly damage your amplifier.

Magnetic Fields

We recommend that you place your subwoofer further than two feet away from your TV, VCR, tape deck or com- puter, so the speaker’s magnet won’t distort the colors of your TV picture or erase your video tapes, audio tapes or computer discs.
