A Series amplifiers draw in air at the back and expel it at the front: keep front & back of unit free of obstruction.
The amplifier may be used free-standing or installed in a 19" rack. If installed in a rack, the rear of
the chassis should be supported. Rear rack-mount supports are integral on all models except the A500 & A700v.
The amplifier is factory set to your local supply voltage

The
A500
&
A700v
connect
to
the
mains
supply
via
a
detachable
power
cable
with
integral
connector
(supplied).
All

to
European
standard:
Green/Yellow

N.B. The live connector in certain 115V models is coloured RED.
The amp must be connected to a 3-pin grounded outlet via a 3-pin connector of sufficient voltage
and current rating. If the connector has provision for a fuse, a suitable fuse must be fitted.
The A5000, A6000 and Q900 have 2 power cables
WARNING:

balance
on
three-phase

Use individual neutral connections from each phase outlet back to the distribution point.
Alternatively, ensure the neutral conductor is of sufficient capacity to handle a return current
equal to the sum total of the current in the three phases.
