Mains Input Connection

Earthing Requirements

Connectors

IEC Input Convention

NAB Input Convention

The mains input connection is via a standard CEE22 plug and socket. The
amplifier chassis must be connected to ground via the mains supply lead.

A simple retaining clip ensures that the mains connector can not be removed
accidentally.

The mains lead supplied should be wired to the mains power supply plug
with due regard to the following colour convention:

Brown wire Live connection
Blue wire Neutral connection
Green/Yellow wire Safety earth

The Brown wire must be connected to the plug terminal marked L or
coloured Red. The Blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked N
_or coloured Black. The Green/Yellow wire must be connected to the terminal
marked E or coloured Green or Green/Yellow.

Note: The amplifier must be protected by a 10A fuse when a 13A plug is
used, or if another type of plug is used, by a 10A fuse either in the plug or
adapter, or at the distribution board. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician.

It is usually a safety requirement that the mains power lead earth connection
is properly connected to the amplifier chassis.

There exists a variety of input and output connector conventions.

The Quad 520f is supplied with the wiring convention for the input XLFl style
connector marked on the rear panel. Certain markets have standardised on
the so called NAB convention. It should be noted that some manufacturers
have used the alternative gender of chassis connector.

Chassis mounted socket (standard UK version 520i) or chassis mounted
plug (521i model only).

Note: On XLR connectors pin 1 mates before the other two pins and thus
makes the safety earth first,

To special order.
