5.6 ALWAYS THINK - SAFETY
THIS LINEAR AMPLIFIER DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL CONTAINS VOLTAGE HAZARDOUS TO
HUMAN LIFE AND SAFETY WHICH IS CAPABLE OF INFLICTING PERSONAL INJURY. NEVER
OPERATE THE AMPLIFIER WITH THE TOP COVER REMOVED AND THE TOP COVER SAFETY
SWITCH DEFEATED. BEFORE REMOVING THE TOP COVER MAKE SURE THE AC LINE POWER
CORD HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED FROM THE AC POWER SOURCE. ALLOW A MINIMUM OF 5
MINUTES TO ELAPSE BEFORE REMOVING THE TOP COVER AFTER POWER HAS BEEN
REMOVED. THIS IS NECESSARY TO ALLOW THE PLATE VOLTAGE FILTER CAPACITORS TO
BLEED DOWN TO A SAFE LEVEL.
Before operating this unit ensure that the protection conductor (green/yellow wire) is connected
to the ground (earth) protective conductor of the power outlet. Do not defeat the pr otective
features of the third protective conductor in the power cord by using a two conductor extension
cord or a three-prong/two-prong adapter.
Before operating this unit:
1. Ensure that the instrument is configured to operate on the voltage ava ilable at the power
source. (See Installation Section)
2. Ensure that the proper fuses are in place in the amplifier's AC line fuse holders located
on the rear panel.
3. Ensure that all other devices connected to or in proximity to thi s amplifier are properly
grounded or connected to the protective third-wire earth ground.
If at any time the amplifier shows visible damage, has sustained stress, emits a foul smell,
fails to operate satisfactorily, it should not be used until its performance has been checked
by qualified service personnel.
Connect a good earth or water pipe ground to the ground post on the rear of the Amplifier. Use
the heaviest and shortest connection possible. Before you use a water pipe ground, inspect the
connections around your water meter and make sure that no plastic or rubber hose
connections are used. These connections interrupt the continuity to the water supply line.
Install a jumper around any insulating water connectors you may find. Use heavy cop per wire
and pipe clamps.
It is best to ground all equipment to one point at the operating position and then ground this
point as described above.
