3.1 Mains supply

When mounting or connecting the amplifier always disconnect it from mains. Only connect the Q-POWERamplifier to an appropriate AC circuit and outlet, according to the requirements indicated in the second line on the rating plate.

NOTE: Only fixed 120 V or 230 V operation is possible. The amplifier should not be permanently operated at voltages not within the specified range (rated voltage ±10 %), as this might affect the overall performance.

NOTE: The rated power consumption and mains current draw is measured at 1/8 of the rated output power (i.e.4 x 125 W for the Q-POWER 6 and 4 x 225 W for the Q-POWER 10) with pink noise to represent typical music signal.

The mains current and power consumption can be considerably higher (or lower) depending on the effective output power.

3.2 On/Off switch

The On/Off switch is a rocker-type switch. It is located on the right side of the front panel. To turn the amplifier on,push in on the upper part of the switch.This initiates start-up by activating the inrush current limiter. During power up the clip and signal LEDs will light up in red for a few seconds. To turn the amplifier off, push in on the lower part of the switch.

The amplifier is switched on.

The amplifier is switched off.

NOTE: This switch does NOT disconnect the amplifier from mains.

The switch initiates start-up by activating the current limiting function. As soon as the power amplifier is connected to the mains power supply, a voltage is supplied to both the line-filter and the fused input of the controllable rectifier. Disconnecting the amplifier from the main power supply can only be achieved by physically separating the amplifier from the mains by pulling the mains plug. The mains plug therefore has to be freely accessible. Disconnect the mains plug from the mains during a lightning storm or when the amplifier remains unused or un-supervised for a prolonged period of time. Alternatively, you can disconnect the amplifier via an external all-pole disconnection from the mains.

If a power cut occurs while the amplifier is switched on, it will restart auto­ matically once the power supply has been restored. All settings prior operation to the loss of power will be maintained.
