Section Two: Unpacking And Placement - Krell Industries CIPHER Owner Reference Manual

(SECTION TWO: Unpacking and Placement continued)
Placement
Before you install an CIPHER into your system, please follow the guidelines in this
section to select a location for your component. This will facilitate a clean, trouble-
free installation.
The CIPHER does not require a special rack or cabinet for installation. The pream-
plifier chassis measures 17.3 in. (43.8 cm) wide, 6 in. (15.3 cm) high, and 17.3 in.
(43.8 cm) deep.
Place the CIPHER on a firm, level surface, away from excessive heat, humidity or
moisture. The CIPHER requires at least two inches (5 cm) of clearance on each
side, and at least two inches (5 cm) of clearance above the component to provide
adequate ventilation. Installation inside cabinetry may require additional ventilation.
Do not place the CIPHER near hum sensitive components such as preamplifier
phono stages or turntables. Although the CIPHER is well shielded, placing it near
these components could create interference and cause hum.
Note
The CIPHER incorporates an advanced suspension system and does not require additional
mass coupling or isolation. You may experiment with feet or cones as long as they are not
permanently affixed to the unit. Any unauthorized modifications to the unit or electronics
will void the warranty.
IMPORTANT
Do not attach enhancement accessories such as rings, mats, or dampers to individ-
ual discs. These accessories may interfere with the disc transport, resulting in erratic
playback and/or poor sound.
AC Power Guidelines
The CIPHER has superb regulation and does not require a dedicated AC circuit.
Avoid connections through extension cords or multiple AC adapters. High quality
15 amp AC strips are acceptable. The use of AC line conditioning devices or filters
may be used if they are grounded and meet or exceed the unit's power supply rat-
ing of 100 VA. The switch and receptacle should remain unobstructed for ease of
operation and in case of an emergency.
IMPORTANT
When the internal line fuse needs to be replaced, contact your dealer, distributor or
Krell. The line fuse is not intended to be replaced by the user.
