Unpacking
Every Australian Monitor product is tested and inspected before leaving our factory
and should arrive in perfect condition.
When opening the carton check for any noticeable damage to your Australian
Monitor product. Please notify your Australian Monitor reseller immediately should
any damage be discovered.
Should you ever need to re-ship the amplifier, always use the original packaging
carton and materials.
Mounting
The AMD Series power amplifiers are one rack unit high (1RU) and will fit a standard
EIA 19” rack. A rack rear support bracket is supplied and must be must be installed
when rack mounting the amplifier. The rear support bracket should be installed to
the rack (rear rails) prior to mounting the amplifier. Failure to mount or support the
amplifier correctly may lead to chassis damage which is not covered by warranty.
Typically amplifiers may be stacked directly on top of each other with no need for
spacing between units, unless installed in high ambient temperature environments
were a single rack unit space between amplifiers will assist cooling further.
Cooling
The AMD series power amplifiers utilise fan forced air cooling, with air flowing from
right to left (viewed from the front).
Ensure adequate ventilation and/or heat extraction is provided when rack mounting
the amplifier. Installations with multiple AMD P series amplifiers or other heat
generating equipment with in the same rack will benefit from full rack cooling, using
conventional ducted cool-air fed through the rack base.
For smaller installations or were rack cooling is not possible, ensure the rack
provides free air flow above and below the rack. Also avoid the use of rear doors on
the equipment rack.
Please consider the thermal dissipation figures provided later in this manual when
installing your AMD series amplifier.
Grounding
In the interests of safety, ensure the amplifier is connected to a suitable grounded
mains outlet and NEVER disconnect the earth pin on the AC power cord.
