User manual ISOTEK SIGMAS

[. . . ] We believe all products benefit from their own clean power supply, therefore we advocated the concept of using (smaller) individual filters on each component, with these being specifically designed for their purpose. This dramatically reduces and stops component cross contamination and dispels the belief that one size fits all. Every single component used in our designs is extensively tested for quality, reliability and purpose. Our circuit designs are extensively `field' tested before coming to market so we can guarantee the widest compatibility with third party products. [. . . ] These are then hand soldered onto a PCB with silver solder. The unit is also fully star earthed. Weight loading Safety In the interest of safety the unit should be placed upon its own dedicated shelf on an audio grade equipment rack. Ensure that a minimum distance of 50mm is allowed around the unit for sufficient ventilation. Ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc. No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles should be placed on the unit. The unit may be placed on top of or under other pieces of equipment, but do not exceed a maximum weight loading of 20kg. If you have to locate the unit on the floor we strongly recommend you do not place the unit near heat sources, such as radiators or air ducts. The unit should not be placed in areas which could exceed 25 degrees, for example near vacuum tube amplifiers. Good air circulation is essential to prevent heat build up within the chassis. Do not place the Sigmas on a soft surface, for example a rug or carpet, which could block the ventilation intakes on the underside of the unit. Do not let any liquids spill onto or objects fall into the chassis. The apparatus must not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases should be placed on top. Should either of these events happen immediately switch off the unit at the wall socket, wait for at least one minute, unplug all other cables and return it to your authorised IsoTek dealer for a full service. !20Kg 100 - 240V ~ 16A 50/60Hz Total: 16A 1600 - 3840VA Total: 6A 600 - 1440VA The Combined max current should not exceed 16A IsoTek is designed & hand made in England · www. isoteksystems. com · ©2005 K.

Installation Placement Ideally the unit should be placed upon its own dedicated shelf of an audio grade equipment rack. If this is not possible the unit may be placed on top of or under other pieces of equipment to a maximum weight limit of 20kg. If you have to locate the unit on the floor or in any other location please refer to the safety section of this manual. Once the Sigmas is placed connect the unit to a mains wall socket, with the high quality power cable provided. The unit should then be turned on in the following order. The apparatus must be connected to an earthed mains socket outlet. Rear elevation of the unit Equipment coupling Switch on Professional 16Amp Neutrik inlet Dedicated earth post 2 High power high quality outputs 4 Medium power high quality outputs With Sigmas facing you turn on the right thermo-magnetic fuse (located under the chassis), this illuminates the right LED. Then turn on the left thermo-magnetic fuse, again the left LED will turn on. [. . . ] Considerations Product examples Cabling IsoTek Titan We strongly recommend that a good quality mains cable is used and this cable is consistent throughout your system. Look for a cable with good conductors, for example OFC (oxygen free copper). This cable should also have a high degree of shielding from RFI. Outside of the UK it is not uncommon for cables of 6Amps current capability to be connected to a 20Amp outlet. [. . . ]
