User manual PEAVEY GPS

[. . . ] Intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover. WARNING: To prevent electrical shock or fire hazard, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture. Before using this appliance, read the operating guide for further warnings. [. . . ] consult the specification sheet for the current that each amplifier will demand. AC mains voltage must be the same as that indicated on the back of the amplifier. Damage caused by connecting the amplifier to improper AC voltage is not covered by any warranty. LINE CORD For your safety, we have incorporated a removable 3-wire line (mains) cable with proper grounding facilities. It is not advisable to remove the ground contact under any circumstances. If it is necessary to use the equipment without proper grounding facilities, suitable grounding adapters should be used. Less noise and greatly reduced shock hazard exists when the unit is operated with the proper grounded receptacles. NOTE: Always turn off the amplifier before making audio connections. as an extra precaution , have the input attenuator turned down during power-up. COOLING REQUIREMENTS (GPS 900 and 1500) These GPS Series amplifiers use a forced-air cooling system to maintain a low, even operating temperature. Cooling air is drawn by synchronized, variable-speed fans mounted on the back panel, and exhausts through slots on the front panel. The fans will remain at low speed until internal operating temperature rises above 450C. Make sure that there is enough space around the back of the amplifier to allow air to enter. the normal operating temperature is 550C. This is a very cool temperature when compared to most amplifier standards. What this means to you is a noticeable increase in product life. On the GPS 900 and 1500 models, the fans will turn on simultaneously when temperature activated. COOLING REQUIREMENTS (All models except GPS 900 and 1500) These GPS Series amplifiers use a forced-air cooling system to maintain a low, even operating temperature. Cooling air is drawn by continuously variable speed fans mounted on the back panel, and exhausts through slots on the front panel. The fan will remain inactive until internal operating temperature rises above 450C. Make sure that there is enough space around the back of the amplifier to allow air to enter. the normal operating temperature is 550C. [. . . ] For example, near or in a bathtub, swimming pool, sink, wet basement, etc. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. install in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. It should not be placed flat against a wall or placed in a built-in enclosure that will impede the flow of cooling air. [. . . ]
