INSTALLATION NOTES

Generally, installing or mounting CP-Series power amps should be carried out in a way that guarantees
continuously unopposed front-to-rear air circulation. Installation of appliances with opposite air circulation
within one cabinet or closed rack shelf system is not recommendable. When including appliances 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
temperatures 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
temperature of +40°C is not permissible.
To prevent the front panel from bending, the use of installation rails or optionally available "rear-rack-
mount" rails is obligatory when installing the appliance in a rack shelf system or cabinet.
The power amplifi er has to be protected against: dripping or splashing water, direct sunlight, high
temperatures or direct infl uence of heat sources, high humidity, extensive dust and vibrations.
If guaranteeing the listed requirements is not possible on a long-term basis, regular servicing is
absolutely mandatory to prevent the power amplifi er from possible failure, mainly being caused by
negative environmental effects.
The power amplifi er has to be protected against: dripping or splashing water, direct sunlight, high
temperatures 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 amp's
enclosure, make sure to immediately separate the appliance from the mains network and contact an
authorized service center for inspection before continuing operation.
