INSTALLATION CAUTIONS
In order to ensure long term top performance, do not install the SA-5500II in locations such as the following:
Locations to be avoided Detrimental effects
e Direct sunlight, radiators or other sources of heat. e Accumulated effects of internal and external heat can reduce
thermal dissipation efficiency of power amplifier and lead to
component deterioration. [In some cases heating may also pre-
vent stable operation.
e@Can cause faulty connection or corrosion of input and output
terminals. Humidity and moisture in particular may reduce
insulation performance and lead to current leakage or com-
ponent overheating.
@ Poorly ventilated, humid or dusty locations.
eMay adversely affect precision circuit components. Weight can
also pose a hazard in regions subject to seismic activity.
e@ Unstable supports that are not level or subject to vibration.
eln addition to fire hazard, some materials may contribute to
corrosion or mar finish of equipment.
e@ Locations where alcohols, insect spray or flammable material is
used or stored.
