3. Mains Supply
When mounting or connecting the amp always disconnect it from mains.
Only connect the VORTEX amplifier to an appropriate AC circuit and outlet,
according to the requirements indicated in the second line on the rating
plate.

NOTE: Even under normal conditions the mains current can reach levels up to
60 A (230 V) and 120 A (120 V), respectively; this could cause lamps to flicker
if connected to the same mains as the amp. The impedance of the AC circuit
should be less than 0,157 Ohms to avoid flicker according to EN61000-3-11.
“Electromagnetic compatibility – Part 3-11: Limits – Limitation of voltage
changes, voltage fluctuations and flicker in the public low-voltage supply
systems – Equipment with rated current less than 75 A and subject to condi-
tional connection”. If in any doubt, consult your local power provider. Never
attempt to measure this impedance level with your ohmmeter. This may
damage your meter and expose you to the risk of electric shock!
3.2 On/Off Switch
NOTE: This switch does NOT disconnect the amplifier from mains.
The switch initiates start-up by activating the current limiting function.
As soon as the power amplifier is connected to the mains power supply, a
voltage is supplied to both the line-filter and the fused input of the controllable
rectifier. Disconnecting the amplifier from the main power supply can only be
achieved by physically separating the amplifier from the mains by pulling the
mains plug. The mains plug therfore has to be freely accessible. Disconnect
the mains plug from the mains during a lightning storm or when the amplifier
remains unused or un-supervised for a prolonged period of time. Alternatively,
you can disconnect the amplifier via an external all-pole disconnection from
the mains.
If a power cut occurs while the amplifier is switched on, it will restart auto-
matically once the power supply has been restored. All settings operation prior
to the loss of power will be maintained.
