User manual ADCOM GFA-5503

[. . . ] Total power consumption of connected equipment must not exceed 1800 watts. · All Satellite/DSS, Cable, and Antenna cables must be grounded in accordance with Section 810 of the National Electrical Code and ANSI/NFPA No. Failure to comply with these codes will void all warranties regarding the GFA-5503. Unpacking Before each GFA-5503 left the factory, it was carefully inspected for physical imperfections as a routine part of ADCOM's systematic quality control. [. . . ] This, along with full operational and mechanical testing, should insure a product flawless in both appearance and performance. Save the shipping carton and all packing materials, as they are intended to minimize the possibility of transportation damage, should the product ever need to be shipped again. In the unlikely event damage has occurred, notify your dealer immediately and request the name of the carrier so that a written claim to cover the damage can be initiated. The right to any claim against a public carrier can be forfeited if the carrier is not notified promptly in writing and if the shipping carton and packing materials are not available for inspection. Save all packing materials until the claim has been settled. system can be grounded by simply connecting a wire between the chassis of any system component and the GFA-5503 grounding screw 1#. (The remaining components will be grounded to the GFA-5503 through the various audio and video coax connections. ) Remote Triggering The GFA-5503 may be remotely activated and deactivated using a low voltage trigger signal available from most contemporary preamps and receivers. Connect the trigger out jack of the preamp with the GFA-5503's 12v trigger in jack 1@. Sat/DSS and Cable Connection Connect the incoming coax cable to the coax 1 input jack fa. The entire Operation The unswitched front panel LED e indicates that AC current is passing through the GFA-5503 and into the components connected to the unswitched AC rear panel outlets 1). The unswitched LED e is always on provided the unit is plugged into an active AC source. To prevent turn-on thump, the jacks for the accessories and amplifiers have seperate relays. When the GFA-5503 is turned on, the accessories power up before the amplifiers. These delays are in effect both with the 12V trigger source, and without, and the duration may be adjusted by your authorized ADCOM dealer. Trouble shooting Symptom -Unswitched LED does not come on when the GFA-5503 AC power cord is plugged into an outlet -Power button pushed in, but switched outlets are off and power LED glows amber -GFA-5503 does not respond to 12v input -No delay between accessories and amplifiers outlets Possible Causes -Outlet may be shut off at the main breaker box -Unit may be in standby mode -Remove any plug in the 12v trigger jack -Power button must be pressed in for remote activation -The trigger voltage maybe outside the allowable + (5-12) volts -Delay settings are incorrect. Factory settings are approximately ten seconds for amplifier turn-on and thirty seconds for accessories turn-off.
