Unpacking
Unpack your amplifier and inspect for any damage that may have occurred during transit. If damage is found, notify the shipping company immediately.
Only you can initiate a claim for shipping damage, though Crown will be happy to help as needed. If the product arrived showing signs of damage, save the
shipping carton for the shipper’s inspection.
We also recommend that you save all packing materials for use if you ever need to transport the unit. Never ship the unit without the factory carton and
packing materials.
Additional Materials
For installation, you will need the following (not supplied):
• Input wiring cables
• Output wiring cables
• Flathead screwdriver
• Phillips screwdriver
• Rack for mounting amplifier (or a stable surface for stacking)
• Category 5e or higher cabling
WARNING: Before you start to set up your amplier, read and observe the Important Safety
Instructions included in the box. These instructions can also be downloaded from the product
page at www.crownaudio.com.
Installing the Amplifier
CAUTION: Before you begin, make sure your amplifier is disconnected from the power source.
Mount the unit in a standard 19-inch (48.3 cm) equipment rack (EIA RS-310B). You can also place a single amp on a solid, stable surface or stack multiple
amps.
NOTE: Amplifiers should be supported at both the front and rear of the rack.
See
"Dimensions" on page 80 for information on amplifier dimensions.
Proper Cooling
When using an equipment rack, mount units directly on top of each other. Close any open
spaces in the rack with blank panels. (Open spaces will reduce cooling efficiency.) DO NOT
block front or rear air vents.
The rack should be a minimum of 2 inches (5.1 cm) away from the amplifier, and the back of
the rack should be a minimum of 4 inches (10.2 cm) from the amplifier back panel.
Air flow is front to back as illustrated in Figure 1.
