Caution: NEVER attempt to open or tamper with the
device. There is a risk of electrical shock and there are no
user-serviceable parts inside.
As a safeguard, the QSOURCE will shut down when any
output demands more power than its capabilities allow,
or if the device is overheating. If power to the device is
cut, even in instances where the LED remains on, turn
the QSOURCE o. Make sure that the power requirements
of all external devices are within the limitations outlined
in the specifications, that there is proper ventilation
around the unit, and that the ambient temperature does
not exceed 38°C/100°F. Once all necessary changes
have been made and the QSOURCE has cooled down,
the device can be turned on and used as normal. If after
this procedure, the QSOURCE is still not supplying the
appropriate output, please contact your Nordost dealer.
The QSOURCE can be grounded to a QKORE Ground Unit
by connecting a QKORE Wire to its binding post. However,
if your QSOURCE is plugged into a “grounded” QBASE
distribution block, there is no need for further grounding.
GROUNDING
TROUBLESHOOTING
The QSOURCE is protected by a 1.25A Time-Lag ceramic
fuse on the unit’s input. If no power is being supplied to
the outputs, or if the LED does not light up when plugged
in and powered on, check the fuse and replace it. A
backup fuse is supplied inside the unit’s fuse housing.
Caution: Only replace the fuse with fuses of the same 1.25A
type. Using others (including audiophile fuses) may
damage your equipment and will void your warranty.
