NOTE to CATV systems installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article
820-22 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground
shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
NOTA PARA EL INSTALADOR DE ANTENAS DE TELEVISION COLECTIVAS: La presente advertencia se provee
para llamar la atencibn del instalador al Artfculo 820-22 de NEC (Cbrdigo Elbctrico Nacional) donde se facilitan las
directrices para la pertinente puesta a tierra y que especifica en particular que el condutor a tierra del cable debe
conectarse al sistema de conexibn a tierra del edificio, lo mbs proximo posible al punto de entrada del cable.
VV Th#l
A
The lightning flash with arrowhaad, within an aquilataral
triangle, is intended to atert ths usar of ths prasanca of
uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's
.enclosure; that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert ths user of the presence of
important operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in ths literature accompanying the
appliance.

INSTALLATION NOTES
Since the AMC 2N100-5/25100 generates modest
amounts of heat, adequate ventilation is reguired.
Do not place the amplifier on a soft surface such as
a carpeted surface that may block the ventilation
holes of the bottom cover. Also, avoid obstructing
the ventilation holes in the top cover.
CAUTION: To prevent the risk of fire or shock,
do not allow any liquid or moisture to enter into
the internal parts of this product. If any liquid
accidentally enters this product, shut off the
power and remove the AC power cord
immediately. If the liquid is anything other than
clean water or pure alcohol, have the product
examined by a service technician. Servicing of
this product should be referred to a qualified
service technician.
Your AMC amplifier is set to work on your local
mains supply voltage. Check that your local
mains supply voltage agrees with the voltage
setting indicated on the back panel of the
amplifier. If not, please contact your dealer or
national distributor for details on how to
proceed further.
The cores of the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Blue -Neutral
Brown -Live
Note: Export units for certain markets have
moulded majns plugs fitted as standard.
As the colours in the mains lead may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying
the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be
connected to the terminal which is marked by the
letter N, or coloured black or blue. The wire which
is coloured brown must be connected to the
terminal which is marked by the letter L, or
coloured red or brown.

REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS
1. MAINS INLET
Connect the AC line cord in to the mains inlet
and plug the AC cord plug into a nearby wall
outlet that provides the correct AC power line
voltage.
2. INPUT LEVEL CONTROLS
Each channel of the 2N100-5/25100 has its own,
independent level control. Before turning on the
2N100-5/25100 for the first time, make sure that
all level controls are set to their fully clockwise
position. These controls can be used for various
functions. For example, they can be used to
match the levels of loudspeakers in a multi-room
installation, or to lower the sensitivity of the
power amplifier, so that the volume control on
pre-amplifier is at a more convenient and usable
position. They can also be used to optimise the
balance in a stereo system.
3. LINE OUTPUTS
Each input has an accompanying line output
which will pass the signal onto another amplifier
input or other line-level device.
4. LINE INPUTS
There are five RCA phono connectors on the
back panel that connect to the inputs of each of
the power amplifiers.
5. LOUDSPEAKER TERMINALS
The 2N100-5/25100 is equipped with binding
post type speaker terminals that are desiged to
handle the extremely high peak currents that this
amplifier is capable of giving. Connections from
these terminals to the loudspeakers should be
made with heavy-duty wire. Standard wire of 16
gauge or thicker is recommended especially if
low impedance loudspeakers are used.
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
1. POWER SWITCH
The press button switch marked power can be
used to switch the 2N100-5/25100 on or off.
When the 2N100-5/25100 is switched on, the
small indicator above the power switch will glow
green.

when:
a) The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
b) Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the applianoe;
or
c) The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
d) The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance; or
e) The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
17. POWER LINES
(APPLIES TO TUNER AND RECEIVERS ONLY)
An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines.
15. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
(APPLIES TO TUNER AND RECEIVERS ONLY)
If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the
antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built u p static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984,
provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast
and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode. See Rgure.
a) Uaa No. 10 AWG (5.3 mm 2 ) copper, No. 8 AWG (8.4mm 2 )
aluminum. No. 17 AWG (1.0mm 2 ) ooppor-dad steel or bronze
wire, or larger, as a ground wire.
b) Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off
insulators spaced from 4-6 feet (1.22-1.83 m) apart.
c) Mount antenna discharge unit as dose as possible to where lead-in
enters house.
d) Use jumper wire not smaller than No. 6 AWG (13.3 mm 2 ) copper,
or the equivalent, when a separate antenna-grounding electrode
is used. See NEC Section 810-21 (j).
