COMPONENT GUARD
The COMPONENT GUARDs use the GIGA CANCELING technology to clean up internal
interference fields generated in the devices.They actively act directly in the device,in
the immediate vicinity of the signal-carrying components.
ACOMPONENT GUARD MASTER can control multiple COMPONENT GUARDs.
Step By Step Installation
1. COMPONENT GUARD MASTER –Basic Setup
The MASTER should be placed as close as possible to the HiFi equipment, a slightly
elevated place has also proven to be successful.
In the basic setting,it is operated without the 12Vpower supply.
Connect the antenna
(vertical position).
Switch in position 0.
Step By Step Installation
2. connection of the COMPONENT GUARDs to the HiFi components
For the COMPONENT GUARD modules RCA, XLRf,XLRm,BNC, USB-A, USB-B, USB-C,
the free inputs of the hi-fi components (but not on the loudspeaker)are initially
available for connection.
For each individual component,the optimal input must be tested,primarily digital
inputs,alternatively analog inputs.Several COMPONENT GUARDs can also be
connected per HiFi component,so that an effect enhancement for this component can
be achieved.

Step-by-step installation
3. Connection of the COMPONENT GUARDs to the HiFi components (variant)
Only in the exceptional case that no digital or analog input is available,the effect of a
COMPONENT GUARD can also be tested on an output (digital or analog).
Caution: A negative effect may occur when connection to an output,not immediately,
but only after afew minutes.Replace the COMPONENT GUARD then.
For each individual COMPONENT GUARD, the antenna must be screwed in and
brought into avertical position (by turning and bending the joint.) for proper function

The procedure described on the previous pages is arecommendation and in most
cases the most effective variant.All variants of possible applications are allowed,the
products do not suffer any damage when trying all possibilities.
To maintain its performance,the COMPONENT GUARD MASTER should be connected
to the mains with the 12Vpower supply 1x per year for about 15 minutes.
Please clean the products exclusively with ascratch-free,dry dust cloth and avoid the
use of cleaning agents.
If operational disruptions occur,please contact your SCHNERZINGER dealer.Please do
not try to repair or open the device on your own, in which case you will lose the right

3. COMPONENT GUARD MASTER -Fine adjustment
If the basic setting is not sufficient for the present interference field spectrum,two
further power levels can be activated (switch position Iand II).
This requires the permanent connection of the 12Vpower supply.It should be
connected to aseparate circuit from the HiFi system –ideally to another phase of the
house power grid.
Observe the correct phase when connecting the power supply (marked by asilver dot
on the plug of the power supply).
Measure the phase of the socket accordingly.
Listening comparison of the power levels,starting with the switch position I(LED on),
then switch position II (LED bright).
If there is no improvement,return to the basic setting.
