CARE AND CLEANING:
• Great care haa been taken by ACCOM to assure that your amplifier and line
driver are as flawless in appearance as they are electrically. In the .event that
your ACCOM components needs cleaning, use a damp doth or dry, soft bristled
paint brush. Co not use cteadng fluids of any kind, as damage to the finish may
result. Treat these products as pradskm instruments, and they will provide
you
with many years of musical en^yment
FAN AND LED OPERATION:
The thermostatically oontrolied fen wiU begin operation almost immediately
upon tum-on. it yrtti create an. air flow through tite heat sink. As tits temperature
of the heat'Sink rises, the ftin wU increase in veto<%. In the unlikely event that
the amplifier thermaOy shuts down, the fen wiil continue to operate, cooling the
heat sink. The ampWfer will fern it^ back on once the temperature drops into
normal operating range.
' Adcom amplifiers aU have LEO fedicatprs behind the fiee-fiow chassis vents
where they can easily be seen. On each aropBfier there is 1 green LEO on the
power supply side (on the same side ss the power connections), this represents
the power supply, and
Z graan LEDs on the amplifier (same side as the RCA
connectors) side vritich repres«^ the 2 channels of amplification. Both amplifiers
have a red LEO on the power supply side which will only light if there is some
sort of problem. See the troubleshooting section in the rear of the manual to
determine the source of the problem.
MOUNTING:
The GFA-5225. GFA^2S0 and GFA^27S Amplifiers .. ..
Afi, components should be securely mounted, as they could become
airborne in the event of a collision; ssrfcMis injury could o^r. ADCOM Car Audio
amplifiers may be mounted almost anywhere; every model is fen-^rooled, so
mounting possibilities are limfisd only by your imagination. Follow these simple
guidelines to ensure long fife, oosmetic integrity and sonic dependability; 1.
Always securely rhount the component to a flat surfece using all mounting holes.
2. Never mount an audio component where loose objects can come in contact
with it, 3. Never mount an amplifief under a rug. mat or carpet Remember, the
better the ventilation, the cooler your amp will runi
When mounting, do not use the amplifier as a drilling template. Use as a
marking template, only. Whan mounting an amplifier, use only Pan-Head
screws,
not beveled head, and DO NOT OVER-TiGHTENI

CRITICAL ALWAYS MOUNT THE BAIANCEO UNE DRIVER AS CLOSE
TO THE SOURCE UNIT AS POSSIBLE. In order to utilize the advantages of a
balanced line, the signal needs to be converted from unbalanced to balanced as
soon as possible. The size of the 6FI unit enables it to be easily mounted in or
