* Should the temperature exceeds 85°C, the LED will stay on and the channel
will be muted. The amplier will resume normal functioning and the LED will turn
off automatically when the temperature falls below 75°C.
3 : 4.AC mains supply
The AC Main connection is made via the IEC C13 con-
nector on the rear panel. M Series ampliers are factory
congured to work either with 115V or 230V AC mains.
Make sure the AC mains voltage used
is within the acceptable operating
voltage range: 115V±10% or 230V ±10%.
It is important to connect the ground
for safety, do not use adapters that
disable the ground connection.
Connection to the mains shall be done
only by a electrotechnical Skilled person
according the national requirements of
the countries where the unit is sold.
The FIG. 4 shows how to connect the mains power cable
to the amplier.
3 : 5.Precautions regarding installation
Placing and using the amplier for long periods of time
on heat generating sources will affect its performance. Avoid
placing the amplier on heat generating sources. Install this
amplier as far as possible from tuners and TV sets. An
amplier installed in close proximity of such equipment may
experience noise or generic performance degradation.
WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK
This device must be powered exclusively by earth con-
nected mains sockets in electrical networks compliant
to the IEC 364 or similar rules.
Install the unit into rack cabinet.
A sectioning breaker between the mains connections
and the amplier must be installed inside the rack
cabinet. Suggested device is 16A/250VAC, C or D
curve, 10 A.
Before powering this amplier, verify that the correct
voltage rating is being used.
Verify that your mains connection is capable of satisfy-
ing the power ratings of the device.
Do not use this amplier if the electrical power cord is
frayed or broken.
Output terminals are hazardous: wiring connection to
these terminals require installation by an instructed
person and the use of ready-made leads.
Take care to lock the output terminal before switching
the device on.
To avoid electrical shock, do not touch any exposed
speaker wiring while the amplier is operating.
Do not spill water or other liquids into or on the amplier.
No naked ame sources such as lighted candles
should be placed on the amplier.
Do not remove the cover. Failing to do so will expose
you to potentially dangerous voltage.
It is absolutely necessary to verify this fundamental
requirement of safety and, in case of doubt, require an
accurate check by qualied personnel.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for
damages caused to persons, things or data due to an
improper or missing ground connection.
Contact the authorized service center for ordinary and
extraordinary maintenance.
