Coda Audio C25 - Manual (Page 5)

C25 User Guide Version 1.0 5
To avoid electrical shock do not remove covers. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
Do not use the unit if the electrical power cord is frayed or broken.
The power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords and plugs and the point
where they exit from the appliance.
Always operate the unit with the AC ground wire connected to the electrical system ground.
Precautions should be taken so that the means of grounding of a piece of equipment is not defeated.
Do not remove the lid. Removing the lid will expose you to potentially dangerous voltages. There are
no user serviceable parts inside.
Mechanical
To ensure that this equipment performs to specification, it should be mounted in a suitable rack or
enclosure as described below. Like all high power amplifiers, it should be kept away from other
equipment which is sensitive to magnetic fields. Also, this amplifier may suffer a substantial reduction
in performance if it is subjected to, or mounted close to equipment which radiates high R.F. fields.
When mounting the amplifier in a rack or enclosure, ensure that:
1.
The rear of the unit is adequately supported. The brackets which are supplied fit standard 19
inch (483mm) rack mounting systems. The front panel is not capable of supporting the unit
on its own.
2.
There is adequate ventilation. The cooling fans suck cool air in through the front and blow hot
air out at the rear of the unit through the ventilating grills. If this air is not allowed to escape,
overheating will occur. Take care when mounting other equipment in the same rack.
3.
The rack unit has a separate earth connection (technical earth).
Also see maintenance section page 9.
EMC (RF Emissions)
The high frequency resonant converters in the C Series amplifiers have been designed to have very
low radio frequency (RF) emissions, which can cause interference with other equipment. In order to
reduce the influence of this, Power Amplifiers should be mounted in a dedicated metal rack
enclosure, which does not include equipment which may be sensitive to RF radiation, such as radio
microphone receivers.
Features:
The C-Series introduces three user-controlled features previously not seen on Coda Audio amplifiers:
 -3 dB indicators
 Power reduction control (PRC)
 User-settable gain/sensitivity (internal)
