Venture Products VP100 manual External, Internal

6.SECURITY

VENTURE AUDIO appliances are designed to operate in a perfect reliable and durable condition. This operation can however be influenced by external events. Some of them will

require the action of the inner VP100 Reference security system.

This security system aims at protecting the appliance from any over-voltage, for instance, as they also act to protect the whole Hi-Fi elements under the preamplifier

«responsibility ». Speakers for instance are this way protected from DC offset (at input or output of the preamplifier), often issued by source components such as CD players; once amplified, they can cause irreversible damages.

An activated security (front red LED is ON) will block the preamplifier operation until the problem or cause is fixed. In case of mains over-voltage for instance, the fuse within the external power-supply unit may have been blown. Please, only replace the fuse with the same one, as described here-under. In case of difficulties in finding these fuses, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

For more information on the reasons of security system calls, please refer to the associated table within the « questions and answers » chapter.

Last, it is important to underline that these are exceptional cases, which never occur under normal conditions and good quality Hi-Fi elements (this implies that normal conditions do not call the security system and consequently do not require fuse changes).

External:

A 500 mA (slow-blow) fuse is used on the mains socket base, within the external power- supply unit (for 230V)

A 1A (slow-blow) fast fuse is used on the mains socket base, within the external power- supply unit (for 100-120V)

Internal:

No fuse here, but a relay-based security system.
