Location and Ventilation
Install the IT-85 in a location that is stable and well ventilated. If the IT-85 is placed in
a built-in installation, ensure that there is adequate room for a supply of air to flow
through the ventilation openings. Allow at least 9 inches clearance on the top and
around the sides of the IT-85. Do not place the IT-85 next to heat sources such as
radiators, stoves or other appliances. Be sure the IT-85 is at least 10 inches away from
your turntable to prevent possible noise introduction into your system. Tiptoes or
other isolation accessories may prove useful in reducing mechanical vibrations. Do not
place the IT-85 on the floor where small children can tamper with the equipment. If it
is not possible to place the IT-85 out of the reach of small children it is recommended
that you remove power cables when the equipment is not in use.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the IT-85 beyond the procedures described in this manual.
For all other service and questions, please contact your authorized VTL dealer or the
factory.
Operational Warnings
Do not touch the tubes after the IT-85 is turned on
. Tubes can get very hot
while the IT-85 is operating. Turn off the IT-85 and allow the tubes to cool down
before attempting to work with the tubes.
Do not attempt to disassemble the IT-85 chassis or remove any covers from
the IT-85.
Always consult with your VTL authorized dealer or the VTL factory
support department before attempting any service work on any VTL unit.
Always connect your loudspeaker to the amplifier before powering the IT-85 on.
Operating the IT-85 without a speaker load connected can damage the output
transformer, and will not be covered under the warranty. Also, ensure that no
speaker cables can become loose during use and that there are no intermittent
faults with the cables.
Tube amplifiers are heavy and awkward to lift, with the weight unevenly
distributed, and you should not attempt to move the unit without help. The IT-85
Integrated amplifier weighs approximately
55 lbs.
(
26.5 Kg)
.
Do not attempt to make or break any connections to the IT-85 while the unit is
powered on as this can damage the IT-85 and/or the rest of the system, and this
damage is not covered by warranty.
