INSTALLATION NOTES

Generally, installing or mounting power amps should be carried out in a way that guarantees continu-
ously unopposed front-to-rear air circulation. Installation of appliances with opposite air circulation within
one cabinet or closed rack shelf system is not recommended. When including an appliance in a closed
cabinet or rack shelf system make sure to provide suffi cient ventilation. Leave a gap of at least 60mm
x 330mm (up to the cabinet's top ventilation louvers) for air circulation between the rear of the power
amplifi er and the cabinet's/rack's rear inner wall. Make sure to leave at least 100mm of space above the
cabinet or rack shelf system. Since temperatures inside of the cabinet or rack shelf system can easily
rise up to 40°C during operation, bearing in mind the maximally allowable environmental temperature
during operation for all other appliances installed in the same rack shelf system is mandatory (also refer
to "MAINS OPERATION AND RESULTING TEMPERATURE").
Caution: For trouble-free operation exceeding the maximally allowable environmental tem-
perature of +40°C is not permissible.
The use of installation rails or optionally available "rear-rack-mount" rails is strongly recommended when
installing the appliance in a rack shelf system or cabinet to prevent the front panel from bending.
The power amplifi er has to be protected against: dripping or splashing water, direct sunlight, high tem-
peratures or direct infl uence of heat sources, high humidity, extensive dust and vibrations.
Condensation on internal parts may occur when transporting the power amplifi er from a cold into a
warmer environment. In that case operation is only permissible after the appliance has gained the
new temperature (after approximately one hour). If foreign objects or liquids have entered the power
amplifi er's enclosure make sure to instantly separate the appliance from the mains power and contact
an authorised service centre for inspection before continuing operation.
