Carefully strip the insulation on each wire to a depth of about 12mm (1/2”) exposing the bare core. If the conductor is stranded, twist the strands together on each conductor. Unscrew the binding post. There is a cross-hole about 5mm from the panel end of the binding post. Insert the bared conductor through the hole and tighten the binding post securely making sure that there are no loose strands or bare ends protruding through the post.
OPERATION C a s p i a n Integrated Amplifier Please refer to the front and rear panel views on page 4. SWITCHING ON The Mains power switch (16) is located on the rear panel of the amplifier. This switch should be left ON for normal operation. If unattended for a long period, the Mains power should be switched OFF and the lead disconnected from the power supply. When switched ON from the rear panel your Caspian Integrated Amplifier runs a self-test and the indicator lights on the front panel pulse twice.
When the TAPE Button is depressed, the TAPE Indicator light glows and the selected source Indicator remains illuminated. The input selector remains functional when the Tape Monitor is ON, allowing a range of sources to be recorded. Pressing the TAPE Button, toggles between Tape Monitor ON and OFF. REMOTE HANDSET The Caspian System Remote Handset uses two AAA size 1.5V batteries. These are housed in the battery compartment on the underside of the handset.
KNOW YOUR CASPIAN • • • When you first power up from the Mains Switch on the rear panel, the amplifier runs a self-test during which all the Indicators pulse twice. When the self-test is complete the amplifier goes into Standby and the MODE Indicator glows GREEN. During Standby, the power stage of the amplifier shuts down to reduce power consumption and heat. If the amplifier overheats through overload or lack of ventilation, the Caspian will revert to Standby until it has cooled down.
