Link electronic MC-6 owner manual Installation, Rear Panel Power Connections

Installation

Locate the amplifier as close as possible to its final installation point. Allow access to the rear panel for making connections.

The MC-6 Multi-Channel Power Amplifier is convection cooled, eliminating the need for fan or forced-air cooling. When operating, the chassis should have at least two (2) inches of air space around the heatsink areas. Multiple chassis can be stacked vertically, facilitating an upward flow of warm air currents throughout the vertical heatsink areas. This upward flow must not be blocked or recirculated around the chassis if proper cooling is to be maintained.

Typical installations allow the amplifier to be rigidly coupled to a support structure or floor via the included spiked coupling supports. In carpeted installations, these supports provide excellent anchoring from the amplifier chassis to the rigid floor or sub-floor below. If there is concern about damage to the structure or floor’s finish, a coin can be placed beneath each spiked coupling support. In installations where the resonant properties of the supporting structure are poor, the amplifier chassis can be loosely coupled to the supporting structure via the compliant isolation interface pads. This will help to attenuate the transfer of vibration or resonant energy from the support structure to the amplifier chassis.

Rear Panel Power Connections

Important: Please strictly follow the steps in order as outlined below before operating your MC-6 Multi-Channel Power Amplifier.

1Verify that the VOLTS AC input identified on the rear panel near the AC input socket is the same as the AC mains voltage in your area. If the voltage does not match, do not connect the amplifier to AC power and contact your dealer immediately.

2Verify that the AC MAINS CIRCUIT BREAKER is closed (green color visible).

3Install the AC Power Cable between the amplifier and your AC mains outlet.

4Verify that the circuit breakers for channels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are closed (no white area visible on each breaker).

Note: If the amplifier is to be moved to another location, always place the unit in Standby mode before disconnecting the AC power cable from the AC mains wall outlet.

Never use the AC mains circuit breaker as a power switch to connect or disconnect the amplifier from AC mains power.
