Care And Maintenance - Emotiva RMC-1 Preliminary

Care and Maintenance

Periodic Maintenance
Your Emotiva RMC-1 requires no periodic maintenance or calibration.
Cleaning your RMC-1
• If necessary, the RMC-1 should be cleaned gently with a soft rag.
• If something sticky gets on the front panel or case of the RMC-1, it should be cleaned with a
mild cleaning solution applied to a soft rag, followed by wiping with a clean rag dampened
with plain water and drying with a soft dry rag or cloth.
Note: DO NOT spray water or cleaning solution directly onto the RMC-1 or into
the vents.
• If something sticky gets on the remote control, it should be cleaned with a mild cleaning
solution applied to a soft rag, followed by wiping with a clean rag dampened with plain water
and drying with a soft dry rag or cloth.
Note: DO NOT submerge the remote control in liquid or spray water or cleaning solution
directly onto it.
Fuses
The RMC-1 has three fuses that protect it from power surges and other fault conditions.
• A blown fuse does not necessarily indicate a problem; fuses may blow for many reasons,
including a power surge in your AC line, or a fault with your RMC-1.
If a fuse blows, ALWAYS REPLACE IT WITH ONE OF THE SAME SIZE, RATING, AND TYPE;
•
NEVER USE A FUSE OF HIGHER RATING.
If one or more fuses blows repeatedly CONTACT EMOTIVA TECHNICAL SUPPORT.
•
The main AC power fuse for the RMC-1 is located in the IEC power cable receptacle, behind the
small plastic panel with the picture of a fuse on it, and is easily accessible without removing the
RMC-1's top cover. In addition, there are two power supply fuses located on the power supply
board inside the RMC-1.
If you suspect that a fuse is blown, remove the fuse and test it with an ohmmeter or low-current
continuity tester. If the fuse measures more than a few ohms of resistance, shows "no continuity",
or is obviously cracked or scorched, then it should be replaced.
Note: Always use a modern continuity tester or resistance meter to check fuses. Some older
flashlight style continuity testers deliver enough current to blow a low-value fuse, and so
should be avoided.
