mounting

CCSeries amplifiers will mount in standard 19" racks. Rear mounting ears are also provided for additional support, which is recommended in non-permanent installations like mobile or touring sound systems. Because of the cables and connectors on the rear panel, a right angle or offset screwdriver or hex key will make it easier to fasten the rear mounting ears to the rails.

connecting power

CCSeries amplifier power requirements are rated at 1/8th power (typical music conditions) and 1/3rd power (extreme music conditions).The maximum power cur- rent draw rating is limited only by the front panel circuit breaker. Consult the speci- fications in the Appendices section for figures on the current that each amplifier will demand. Make sure the mains voltage is correct and is the same as that printed on the rear of the amplifier. Damage caused by connecting the amplifier to improper AC voltage is not covered by any warranty. Unless otherwise specified when ordered, Crest amplifiers shipped to customers are configured as follows:

When connecting the CC 5500 to 220-240 AC supply, consult with supply authority as needed to insure impedance Zsysmax equal to or less than 0.08+0.05j.

Option 1 North America

120VAC / 60 Hz

Option 2 Europe,Asia

230VAC / 50 Hz

Option 3 Australia

240VAC / 50 Hz

Option 4 South America

120VAC / 60 Hz or 240VAC / 50 Hz

CC5500- When connecting this unit to 220-240 AC supply, consult with supply authority as needed to insure impedance Zsysmax equal to or less than 0.08+0.05j.
