Read this section before using the amplifier. Consult an authorised Chevin dealer if
you have any doubts.
■ A Series amplifiers draw in air at the back and expel it at the front: keep both front and rear
of the amplifier free from obstruction.
■ The amplifier may be used free-standing or installed in a 19” rack. The rear of the chassis
should be supported
■ The amplifier is factory set to your local supply voltage.
▲
Warning: The voltage should only be changed by an authorised Chevin dealer.
The amplifier connects to the mains supply via a fixed power cable. The wires in the power
cable are colour-coded according to European standard:
Green / Yellow - Earth Blue - Neutral Brown - Live
Nota Bene:
■ The live connector in certain 115V models is coloured red.
■ The amplifier must be connected to a 3-pin grounded outlet via a 3-pin connector of
sufficient voltage and current rating. If the connector has provision for fitting a fuse, a
suitable fuse must be fitted.
■ A5000, A6000 and Q900 models have 2 power cables.
▲
Warning: All Chevin amplifiers must be earthed!
The power rating of the supply should be at least twice the total audio output of the system.
▲
Electric Shock Hazard! The amplifier must be connected to an adequately rated
grounded outlet.
▲
Fire Hazard! All cables, switch gear, et al, must be adequately rated to avoid the risk of
overheating and fire.
The neutral current will not balance on three-phase systems.
■ Use individual neutral connections from each phase outlet back to the distribution point.
■ Alternatively, ensure that the neutral conductor is of sufficient capacity to handle a return
current equal to the sum total of the current in the three phases.
