User manual AUSTRALIAN MONITOR AMIS120P

[. . . ] As is the case with almost all audio products, adequate ventilation and air flow is required. When installing multiple AMIS120P power amplifiers within the one rack, it is recommended that at least one rack unit of ventilation space is left between every two amplifiers. For table or shelf mounting, the rack ears can be removed using a screwdriver. Once the rack ears are removed, please reinstall the screws. Rear Panel Features AC Power Inlet The 3 pin IEC power inlet is located at the bottom left of the rear panel and accepts a standard mains power lead fitted with an IEC connector. The inlet is equipped with an in-built AC fuse holder fitted with a 8 Amp slow blow fuse plus a spare fuse. [. . . ] In some projects, the same input may be looped through to multiple amplifiers using this method. Up to 6 amplifiers can be looped together without any noticeable loss in level. A distribution amplifier should be used when more than 6 amplifiers need to be looped. The XLR's are wired as follows: Pin 1: Shield. Pin 3: Cold, -, Negative Fuse Sizes Mains, 115VAC: 8 Amperes Slow Blow. Notes: The DC fuse is located on the circuit board. This is a feature of the AMIS series amplifier, which is equipped with a current limiting circuit preventing excessive DC current, thus eliminating the risk of blowing high tensions fuses. In the unlikely event that the DC fuse actuates, the output transistors should be checked, as it is probable that the amplifier has been subjected to very extreme conditions. Important Safety Information 1. Save the carton and packing material even if the equipment has arrived in good condition. Should you ever need to ship the unit, use only the original factory packing. Read all documentation before operating your equipment. Retain all documentation for future reference. Follow all instructions printed on unit chassis for proper operation. Do not spill water or other liquids into or on the unit, or operate the unit while standing in liquid. Make sure power outlets conform to the power requirements listed on the back of the unit. Do not use the unit if the electrical power cord is frayed or broken. The power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords and plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance. Always operate the unit with the AC ground wire connected to the electrical system ground. Precautions should be taken so that the means of grounding of a piece of equipment is not defeated. Mains voltage must be correct and the same as that printed on the rear of the unit. Damage caused by connection to improper AC voltage is not covered by any warranty. Have gain controls on amplifiers turned down during power-up to prevent speaker damage if there are high signal levels at the inputs. Power down & disconnect units from mains voltage before making connections. [. . . ] Never connect a "hot" (red) output to ground or to another "hot" (red) output!The power cord of equipment should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time. Service Information Equipment should be serviced by qualified service personnel when: A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged. [. . . ]
