User manual DYNACORD CL 1200

[. . . ] The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle is 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. install in accordance with the manufacture's instructions. Do not install near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or the grounding-type plug. [. . . ] The power outputs CHANNEL A, CHANNEL B and BRIDGED OUT are carried out as extremely durable SPEAKON-type connectors. Also located on the rear panel is a Ground-lift switch, which helps eliminating ground-noise loops by separating the power amp's enclosure from the circuit ground. In normal operation, all CL-Series power amps are capable of driving loads as low as 2ohms. in MonoBridged mode the allowable minimum load is 4ohms. This owner's manual outlines and explains several other features of your CL-Series power amplifier. Please, make sure to carefully read all of it and mind the instructions. Carefully open the packaging and take out the power amplifier. Next to the power amplifier itself, the package also includes this owner's manual, a mains cord and the warranty certificate. Keep the original invoice, which states the purchase/delivery date together with the warranty certificate at a safe place. Generally, installing or mounting power amps should be carried out in a way that guarantees continuously unopposed front-to-rear air circulation. Installation of appliances with opposite air circulation within one cabinet or closed rack shelf system is not recommended. When including an appliance in a closed cabinet or rack shelf system make sure to provide sufficient ventilation. Leave a gap of at least 60mm x 330mm (up to the cabinet's top ventilation louvers) for air circulation between the rear of the power amplifier and the cabinet's/rack's rear inner wall. Make sure to leave at least 100mm of space above the cabinet or rack shelf system. Since temperatures inside of the cabinet or rack shelf system can easily rise up to 40°C during operation, bearing in mind the maximally allowable environmental temperature during operation for all other appliances installed in the same rack shelf system is mandatory (also refer to "MAINS OPERATION AND RESULTING TEMPERATURE"). caution: For trouble-free operation exceeding the maximally allowable environmental temperature of +40°C is not permissible. The use of installation rails or optionally available "rear-rack-mount" rails is strongly recommended when installing the appliance in a rack shelf system or cabinet to prevent the front panel from bending. The power amplifier has to be protected against: dripping or splashing water, direct sunlight, high temperatures or direct influence of heat sources, high humidity, extensive dust and vibrations. Condensation on internal parts may occur when transporting the power amplifier from a cold into a warmer environment. In that case operation is only permissible after the appliance has gained the new temperature (after approximately one hour). If foreign objects or liquids have entered the power amplifier's enclosure make sure to instantly separate the appliance from the mains power and contact an authorised service centre for inspection before continuing operation. Use the POWER switch, located on the front panel's, right side to switch the appliance's power on. [. . . ] However, using these signals is not recommendable because of the aforementioned phase inversion. Operating the power amp in Bridged Mode with loads of 2ohms connected is not allowable. CAUTION: Extremely high voltages might be present at the BRIDGED OUT connector during Bridged-Mode operation. the connected loudspeaker systems have to be capable of handling such high voltages.
