User manual ISOTEK NOVA

[. . . ] Within the market of premium audio it is vital to offer exceptional performance and value for money. Products must be made to the highest of standards, be reliable and attractive. A manufacturer must offer exceptional service, dealer training, support and undertake the very best in promotion design and literature. If all these elements are in place customers should experience excellence at every stage. [. . . ] The product All components used within the Nova circuit are of the highest grade possible and are also under stressed, thus giving greater longevity. These are carefully selected then hand soldered onto a PCB with high grade silver solder. The Nova is a direct coupled design which allows for higher power handling capabilities than the GII Mini Sub. Weight loading Safety In the interest of safety the unit should be placed upon its own dedicated shelf on an audio grade equipment rack. It is NOT recommended that Nova be placed on top of or under other pieces of equipment. Areas where `tube' amplifiers are present should not exceed 25 °C. If you are positioning the Nova in the close proximity of such a device please be aware of this factor. If you have to locate the unit on the floor we strongly recommend you do not place the unit near heat sources, such as radiators or air ducts. Good air circulation is essential to prevent heat build up within the chassis. Do not place the Nova on a soft surface, for example a rug or carpet, which could block the ventilation intakes on the bottom half of the chassis. Should either of these events happen immediately switch off the unit at the wall socket, wait for at least one minute, unplug all other cables and return it to your authorised IsoTek dealer for a full service.

Refer to authorised personnel for servicing SERIAL NO. February 2005 C. Installation Placement Ideally the unit should be placed upon its own dedicated shelf of an audio grade equipment rack. Once the Nova is positioned connect the unit to a mains wall socket by the cable supplied. Ensure that the RCBO if in the off position and connect the power cord into the blue socket on the bottom left hand side of Nova's back panel. Ensure that the silver release catch on the blue Neutrik plug is slightly to the left of 12 o'clock, push in and rotate clock wise until the plug clicks into place. Now plug the standard UK three pin, European Schuko or American three pin into the wall socket, and turn on if the wall socket has a switch. Look to the rear of the unit, if the red fault light* is illuminated the following steps need to be carried out. In the majority of European countries using schuko or similar connectors merely reversing the rotation of the plug in the wall socket is sufficient. For UK customers and those using 13amp fused plugs you should probably contact an electrician to determine why your wall socket is wired out of phase. To clarify the fault light is mainly to determine correct neutral / live (phase) connection. Do not take this as a way of testing other parts of the system, it is merely for the correct connection of Nova. We would like to stress there are no negative safety implications from incorrect connection, it is just an issue of sound quality. Conecting Nova to a power supply Rear elevation of the unit Fault indicator light Power on/off switch test facility In very rare circumstances the light will not extinguish, this is where a balanced 110volt supply exists in the building (Belgium). [. . . ] Troubleshooting Fuse location Fault finding The front LED is not lit and the unit gives no power. Check that the mains cable is securely plugged into the unit at the wall socket. On rare occasions the fuse at the main distribution fuse box may also need to be checked. Electronic fusing Fuse in UK three pin plug February 2005 E.
