AC supply voltage before connecting the supply. The provided AC inlet cable should be used. The 993 must be earthed through the IEC inlet connector. Do not disconnect the AC earth at any time. If in doubt about any aspect of power supply, consult your Trilogy dealer or a qualified electrician.
Do not make connections or disconnections while the amplifier is powered. Connect with the supplied power input cable. The 993 can be left connected at all times to ensure reliable operation. If not being used for extended periods of time, switch off at the mains outlet or at the rear panel power switch.
Having made and checked all appropriate input, output and power connections, power can be applied by turning on the [rear panel rocker switch]. The [power indicator] will be dimly lit to indicate the 993 is in standby. To fully turn on the 993 press the [power button].

Temperature Hot The temperature of the 993’s heatsink is constantly measured by a sensor. If the temperature of the heatsink is too high a warning will be given before shutdown at excessive temperatures. Common causes of high heatsink temperatures are plac- ing the amplifier in direct sunlight, obstruction of airflow to the heatsink, sustained heavy drive for very long periods of time or very low impedance load.
TAS link has a bus remote line (GPI) allowing equipment from other manufacturers to be powered on/off by a Trilogy pre-amp, or allow the 993 to be turned on by another system.
White/brown TAS link pinout is shown for completeness but most signals are proprietary for use by Trilogy equipment. However, to turn amplifier on remotely the user can apply 8-24VDC between pin1 (0V) and pin8 (24V max). Remove this voltage to return amplifier to standby.
It is good practice to replace the valves your amplifier periodically to prevent sudden loss of a signal path. Your Trilogy amplifier uses readily available and inexpensive valves should replacement be needed. If you are in any doubt your Trilogy dealer will help you assess whether your valves need replacing.
