INSTALLATION
5.1 Unpacking and Inspection
DO NOT package the unit inpacking peanuts” or similar material
5.2 Mounting
MR-1 SR-2
We recommend that you inspect your VTP-100 upon unpacking it from the factory
shipping carton. In the unlikely event that the unit exhibits any physical damage, DO
NOT connect it to the AC mains power, but contact your dealer immediately.
The shipping carton should contain the following items: the VTP-100 Preamp,an IEC 3
Prong power cord, and this operating manual.
We recommend that you keep the shipping carton and supports in the event that
the unit must be shipped at some time in the future.
as it will settle during
Shipping and damage will likely occur.
If original packing materials cannot be located, wrap the unit with a liberal amount of
Plastic “bubble wrap” material extending at least 2” beyond the extremities of the VTP-100
enclosure.
The VTP-100 can be mounted in any standard 19 inch (483mm) equipment rack using
Mono (single channel) 19 inch rack mount kit or the Stereo (two channel) 19 inch
rack mount kit
If the VTP-100 is mounted in a mobile rack or road case, it is important that the rear of the
chassis is supported to prevent possible damage from mechanical shock and vibration.
Excessive shock and vibration can cause damage or premature failure of the vacuum tubes,
or cause them to shaken loose from their sockets.
Please avoid rough handling.
5.3 Ventilation
very
5.4 Power Requirements
5.5 Servicing
For proper operation, it is important that adequate ventilation is provided.
Vacuum tubes produce a significant amount of heat that must be removed from
inside the chassis. The top panel vents should never be blocked in any way
We recommend that you provide adequate ventilation so that the air temperature
surrounding the unit does not exceed 55°C (122°F). If multiple units are to be mounted
in a poorly ventilated rack or travel case, a 1 3/4” blank space should be located after
every two units (two units mounted together, blank space, two more units, etc.).
The VTP-100 is equipped with a 3-prong IEC power connector and detachable cord.
Never operate the VTP-100 with the ground on the power cord defeated.
This unit operates from 115V/60 Hz and 230V/50Hz.
The ac fuse and the voltage switch are accessibles from the rear panel.
To check or replace the fuse, make sure the unit is unplugged.
Other than changing the tubes, the user should not attempt to service the VTP-100 beyond
that described in this manual. Never remove the covers or attempt to replace the tubes
until the unit has been disconnected from the ac power source, and all circuits inside have
been allowed to discharge for a period of at least 30 minutes.
Since potentially lethal voltages are present inside the unit, it should only be opened by
Qualified service personnel. Refer all servicing, or any questions about servicing, to Edax
Audio Labs.
