User manual ISOTEK TITAN

[. . . ] 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. Within the market of premium audio it is vital to offer exceptional performance and value for money. [. . . ] Good air circulation is essential to prevent heat build up within the chassis. Do not place the Titan on a soft surface, for example a rug or carpet, which could block the ventilation intakes on the bottom half of the chassis. Do not let any liquids spill onto or objects fall into the chassis. 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. November 2004 C. Installation Placement Ideally the unit should be placed upon its own dedicated shelf of an audio grade equipment rack. Titan may also be placed next to the power amplifier it supplies however if you have to locate the unit on the floor or in any other location other than an equimpment rack please refer to the safety section of this manual. Once the Titan is positioned connect the unit to a mains wall socket by the cable supplied. Firstly connect the blue Neutrik end of the power cord into the blue socket on the bottom left had side of Titan's back panel. Ensure that the silver release catch on the blue Neutrik plug is slightly to the left of 12 o'clock, push in and rotate clock wise until the plug clicks into place. To release pull the silver clip back wards and reverse the action. Now plug the standard UK three pin, European Schuko or American three pin into the wall socket. Switch on the wall socket if it has a switch, and then turn on the Titan via the central on/off switch at the rear. At this stage no other equipment should be plugged into Titan. Although every Titan is rigorously factory tested prior to dispatch, one thing we cannot test for is that your home earth/ground connection (yellow and green in European regulations) is functioning correctly. This is very important for the Titan's operation so the following test needs to be carried out. The supplied `Network Test Plug' will check the safety of your earthing within your home. Take the Network Test Plug and insert it into either output 1 or output 2 of Titan (UK) or into the Grey Multi-Link output (Europe). On plugging this into the unit Titan should immediatly `trip' and turn itself off. If you are in the UK and this fails to happen contact your local electrician as it is more than likely that the earth in your home has become disconected. If you live in Europe, before calling your electrician check the live/neutral polarity of the mains. Simply reverse the mains plug in the wall socket (where possible). Please do not confuse the test facility on the power on/off switch at the back of the Titan. [. . . ] This allows for use on radial circuits not protected by RCDs, allowed under British regulations as a cooker circuit.
