Contact an electrician if there is any doubt that the outlet is properly polarized. • Install in a properly ventilated location, away from heaters, heat ducts and other heat producing devices. • Do not use with high-current devices such as hobby arc welders, hair dryers, and space heaters. Total power consumption of connected equipment must not exceed 1800 watts. • Do not use a unit if there are any signs of damage. • No user serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt servicing of this unit yourself. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. • All Satellite/DSS, Cable, and Antenna cables must be grounded in accordance with Section 810 of the National Electrical Code and ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984. Failure to comply with these codes will void all warranties regarding the ACE-615. Symbol explanations This “lightning flash with arrowhead” symbol is intended to alert the user of the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the products enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. This exclamation point symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. Unpacking Before each ACE-615 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. After you have unpacked the ACE-615, inspect it for physical damage. 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. Installation For maximum performance and extended product life, install the ACE-615 in a well ventilated area away from external heat sources like radiators and heat vents. For professional installations, the ACE-615 may be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack using the optional RM-3 rack-mount adapters available through ADCOM dealers. Connections Optional: Attach the supplied color-coded AC cord labels to each AC cord to be installed. Place a label at each end of the AC cord to easily identify which cord is connected to each product. System AC Connections Begin by connecting products which require full-time AC power to the rear panel jacks labeled “unswitched” 1). Connect the amplifiers’ power cord to the rear AC jacks labeled “amplifiers” 1!. Connect the AC power cords of all other products to the switched jacks on the rear panel labeled “accessories” j. Grounding Screw The grounding screw 1# provides a convenient system grounding point where one or more of the components is not equipped with a three prong AC cord. The entire system can be grounded by simply connecting a wire between the chassis of any system component and the ACE-615 grounding screw 1#. (The remaining components will be grounded to the ACE-615 through the various audio and video coax connections.) Remote Triggering The ACE-615 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 ACE-615’s 12v trigger in jack 1@. Sat/DSS and Cable Connection Connect the incoming coax cable to the coax 1 input jack fa. Connect the ...
