3.1 Mains supply

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

USER MANUAL

VORTEX 6, 4, 2.6 and 200V

NOTE: Even under normal conditions the mains current can reach levels up to 60 A (230 V), 120 A (120 V) and 140 A (100 V), respectively; this could cause lamps to flicker if connected to the same mains as the amp. The impedance of the AC circuit should be less than 0,157 Ohms to avoid flicker according to EN61000-3-11 “Electromagnetic compatibility – Part 3-11: Limits – Limitation of voltage changes, voltage fluctuations and flicker in the public low-voltage supply systems – Equipment with rated current

≤75 A and subject to conditional connection”.

If in any doubt, consult your local power provider. Never attempt to measure this impedance level with your ohmmeter.This may damage your meter and expose you to the risk of electric shock!

3.2 On/Off Switch

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 automatically once the power supply has been restored. All settings prior to the loss of power will be maintained.
