Unpacking
The 505 Mono Power Amplifier comes in a box containing the following components:
❍505 Mono Power Amplifier.
❍1 power cord.
❍1 phono shorting plug.
❍This manual.
Once set up, the mono power amplifier can be left switched on as it consumes negligible power when not in use.
If you are not going to use the mono power amplifier for a period of several days you should switch the unit completely off, at the back panel, and disconnect it from the AC power supply.
Setting up the mono power amplifier
You are advised to retain the packing in case you need to transport the unit.
Before connecting power
Before you begin installation you should ensure that your mono power amplifier is set to the correct voltage for your local AC supply. If it is not, do not try to install the unit, and contact your dealer.
Do not make connections, or insert or remove plugs, while the unit is connected to the supply and switched on, as the transients generated could damage the loudspeaker.
To position the mono power amplifier
During normal operation the heatsinks, ie the fins at each end of the case, may become quite hot. The mono power amplifier should therefore be positioned to allow a free flow of air around the fins.
Do not place the mono power amplifier:
❍On a surface that may be scorched by the heat generated; eg a carpet.
❍In direct sunlight.
❍Near heat sources, eg a radiator.
❍Stacked with any other audio products, as the heat it generates may damage the other products.
