Fuses
Along with rear panel mains fuse, there are four (4) rail fuses provided
internally in the unit. These rail fuses are in series with the positive and
negative output supply to each amplifi er channel and provide overall
protection for the output stage. If the amplifi er is subjected to heavy use such
as short circuits, these fuses will eventually fatigue and may require replacing
to ensure they do not fail at an inconvenient time.
WARNING: Make sure the unit is off and is unplugged from the mains.
Give the main fi lter capacitors time to discharge before removing lids
and inspecting the fuses.
You should replace the fuse if the element is sagging or discoloured. Only ever
replace with the same type fuse and current rating.
When checking for a failed fuse, do not rely on visual inspection alone. You
should use an ohm meter to check continuity.
Only competent or qualifi ed persons should attempt any service or maintenance of your amplifi er.
Your AMAV amplifi er will need minimal maintenance. No internal adjustments need to be made to the unit to maintain optimum performance.
To provide years of unhindered operation we suggest a maintenance inspection be carried out on a regular basis, say every 12 months or so.
