Unpacking and Initial Inspection

2.1.
Before you install your amplifier, thoroughly read this manual.
First, carefully inspect the cardboard carton and its contents for physical damage. ACOM
ships amplifiers in highly protected containers, but it cannot assure that mistreatment
by shippers will not occur. If damage is evident, notify your dealer immediately. Delay
may void the carrier's warranty.
Keep all packing materials for possible future amplifier shipment (See Section
).

Line Voltage Selection

2.2.
The ACOM 2020S amplifier is supplied with built-in switching-mode power supply (SMPS).
The amplifier operates in an extended mains voltage range of 200-240 VAC, ±10% (180-264 VAC limiting
values), with no internal switch over. The consumed current is purely sinusoidal, Power Factor Corrected
(PFC) and inrush limited. This makes the operation from unstable mains and generators easy and trouble
free.
Thanks to the built-in SMPS, the ACOM 2020S has no mains line voltage selector to take
care of!

Amplifier Location Selection

2.3.
The weight of the unit (RCU excluded) is about 22 kg, which should preferably be
handled by two persons.
Position the amplifier near the place where it will be used. You will need an easy access to the rear panel
cabling.
The ACOM 2020S is forced air cooled. Keep a minimum clearance distance of 10 cm
(4 inches) to any other devices or objects.
