EXTERNAL
Like all audio components, the REFERENCE Class A amplifiers must be fused
near the battery. A fuse or circuit breaker must be located within 18” of the battery.
This will prevent a fire in the event of a shorted cable. See the chart below to
determine the correct fuse value.
INTERNAL
The REFERENCE Class A amplifiers are fused with either automotive-type or
Maxi-fuses. In the event of blown power supply fuses, the “Fault” indicator on the
front panel will light. The fuses are accessible either from the front panel of the
amplifier or via a plastic plug on the bottom of the amplifier. See the chart below
to determine the fuse value. Never replace the fuses with a higher value than
what is supplied. This may result in amplifier damage and will void the
warranty!
