MAINS CONNECTIONS

Your Pultec has been factory set to the correct mains voltage for your country. The

voltage setting is marked on the serial badge, located on the rear panel. Check that this

complies with your local supply.

Export units for certain markets have a moulded mains plug fitted to comply with local

requirements. If your unit does not have a plug fitted the coloured wires should be

connected to the appropriate plug terminals in accordance with the following code.

GREEN/YELLOW EARTH terminal

BLUE NEUTRAL terminal

BROWN LIVE terminal

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured

marking identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows;

The wire which is coloured GREEN/YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the

plug which is marked by the letter E or by the safety earth symbol or coloured GREEN

or GREEN and YELLOW.

The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is

marked by the letter N or coloured BLACK.

The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal in the plug

which is marked by the letter L or coloured RED.

This unit (like most pro gear) is designed for third pin AC mains ground.

See the troubleshooting section if you usually use ground lift adapters (2 pin to 3

pin or "cheaters". You can use the ground posts on the back of this unit rather

than that method. Using these posts are safer and gets better results in most situa-

tions.

Ventilation. Two tubes only, so not bad. Worst - Small flight cases, packed &

insulated. Best - 1 space above and below. Good - 1 space above. Good - shallow

unit above, not blocking vent slots. OK - cool gear above and below, with air flow.

Power - Turn it off after the session. The tubes last longer.

Older units had a switch for 220/240 or 110/120 volt operation. While a nice

feature, it compromised the noise floor slightly. We now hardwire for each country we

send units to. So the few who move thier racks internationally have to use typical step-up

step-down transformers that they are probably using anyways. The vast majority who

don't fly gear globally have got quieter units. It is also a bit safer. We mark each unit on

the back panel for the voltage it is wired for - if in doubt, please check.
