PROTECTION MODE
INTERNAL FUSES
If for any reason these are found to have blown or the red LED on the front panel will not illuminate within 20 seconds of power up, then the protection circuits have identified a possible fault condition. The amplifier should immediately be switched off and returned to your dealer or distributor for examination. There are no user serviceable parts in your power amplifier. Units contain lethal voltages, so only qualified personnel should service your amplifier.
HINTS AND TIPS
Although you can stack a Tornado power amplifier with a
When using a Tornado with our Hurricane pre- amplifier we recommend that you place the units side by side or arrange them on separate shelves of a system rack, separated by about 15cm. Keep your turntable, if you are using one, as far away as possible from the power amplifier.
Don’t be tempted to take a little look inside the amplifier: there’s nothing very exciting to see and there are some dangerous voltages floating about inside its case. Similarly, do not try to modify or “improve” the design with the latest audiophile fad components. We know what we are doing and we chose the most appropriate components for this design. We certainly will not repair the amplifier under guarantee if you’ve been fiddling with it!
