Power Connector; Switching On And Off; Installation And Use - Ltc Audio LTC-500 Manuel D'utilisation

NOTE: to avoid possible damage to the loudspeaker enclosures, only connect enclosures or speaker
systems compatible with the power load and impedance limits indicated for the amplifier (regarding this,
consult the Technical specifications chapter for reference to your specific amplifier model ). Use only
loudspeaker enclosure cables, never signal cable, i.e.those normally used for microphones,
instruments and audio equipment in general.

Power connector

Connection to the mains supply
Before connecting the amplifier to the mains socket, always make sure that:
●The electric system and mains socket have an adequate grounding, compatible with the safety norms
( if you are uncertain,
consult specialized personal ).
●The mains voltage corresponds to that shown on the rear of the unit ( an allowance of up + / - 10% is
accepted).
●The power cord is not damaged and that no bare wires.
●The ON / OFF switch is in the OFF position.
●Make sure the amplifier is also off before disconnecting the power cord from the mains socket.

Switching on and off

In your sound reinforcement system, always switch on the amplifier after all the other equipment and
always switch it off before anything else, if possible with the gain controls set at minimum: this will avoid
annoying and sometimes dangerous signal peaks.

Installation and use

Your LTC amplifier generates decidedly high power, so install it in locations with ensure correct air
circulations.
Avoid long exposure to direct sunlight,sources of strong heat, powerful vibrations, very dusty or
Particularly damp surroundings or (even worse) rain: this will avoid possible faulty operation,
deterioration or even electric shocks and fires.
Installation and use (cont.)
The air for cooling the unit is forced in though the vents in the front panel and out though those on the
rear panel, so make certain that there sufficient space round the amplifier to allow adequate air
circulation.
If racks or flight-cases are used, make sure that airflow is unobstructed: don not install the amplifiers in
racks or flight-cases with closed backs.
Since part of the heat is dissipated via the metal bottom of the amplifier, it is advisable to install the
amplifiers with at least one rack unit space between them.
