TA-880

Mechanical Installation

When supplied as part of the AMP-890.2 system rack, the amplifiers are pre-installed. If an amplifier is removed from the rack for any reason, it is important to re-install it correctly. The amplifiers must be supported at the front and rear, as originally supplied. Failure to support it adequately may eventually result in vibration-induced metal fatigue of the rack mounting ears and such damage will not be covered by the warranty.

Adequate ventilation is essential, both at the rear of the rack, the sides, and also at the front. This should be considered carefully when placing covers around the racks for protection from inclement weather at outdoor events, or when using blacks to mask them from view. If the venting is inadequate, the amplifier's temperature metering will display this.

CAUTION: Air emerging from the amplifier's high efficiency heat-exchangers can reach 60°C to 70°C. To prevent personal injury or fire, please ensure that people and combustible or flammable materials (e.g. plastic waterproofing, newspaper, clothing, costumes, solvents) are kept at least 2'/0.6m from the amplifier's exhaust outlets. If venting is inadequate, the hot air can adversely affect other equipment, and may soften some thermoplastic enclosures. If using plastic coated cables, take care to dress the leads away from the airflow. Professional- grade rubber cables are not affected.

Mains Power

The T series amplifiers will operate from any international 50 - 60Hz AC mains supply between 110-120 V and 220-240 V. Separate models are supplied to match local mains supply requirements.

Powering Up

When the amplifier is switched on by depressing the black POWER rocker switch, the protection circuit will initially activate whilst the circuits stabilise. Assuming no faults are detected the POWER LED (and the signal LED if signal is present) will light up after a fewe seconds.

Safety Earthing

The Green/Yellow wire on the T-25 and T-45’s mains cord must always be connected to the electrical installation's safety Earth (or Ground). It is essential for personal safety. The rack framework is connected to the same grounding circuit.
