it is to be sold (230V only in European Union countries, in compliance with CE
regulations.) e voltage setting may not be changed by the user.
Make sure that the label on the rear panel of your power amplifier indicates
the correct AC operating voltage for your location. Attempting to operate your
power amplifier at an incorrect voltage may damage the unit.
Warning: The voltage setting of your power amplifier may not be
changed by the user. There are no user-serviceable parts
within the unit. Please refer any problems to an authorized
Classé service center.
If the AC mains voltage indicated on your integrated amplifier is incorrect,
please contact your local, authorized Classé dealer or distributor.
e CAP-2100 can easily be powered by a normal 15-ampere AC mains line.
If other devices are also powered from the same AC line, their additional power
consumption should be taken into account.
e CAP-2100 includes protection circuitry that will prevent the integrated
amplifier from operating at dangerously high or low voltages.
• At startup: the AC mains voltage must be within a range of
approximately -15% to +10% of its nominal value at startup, or
theamplierwillnotturnon.Forexample,a120Vunitrequires
theACmainstobebetweenapproximately95V–135Vinorderto
turn on.
• Over-voltage during operation: if the AC mains voltage surges
by roughly 10% or more during operation, the amplifier will enter
protection mode and shut down. e Standby LED will flash to
indicate the protection mode has been engaged.
• Under-voltage during operation: if the AC mains voltage sags by
15% or more, the amplifier will continue to play (since this does
not present a particular danger to the amplifier), but note that
it may not be able to achieve its usual standard of performance
under these compromised conditions. e Standby LED will flash
to indicate the condition.
