The SYNERGY product line provide ac power convenience outlets which minimize wiring and improve overall safety when used
properly. Carefully read all of the important safety tips shown below for long and safe use of your equipment.
1. Always connect the equipment to a circuit with a suitable electrical ground.
2. Do not overload the power cords and convenience outlets.
Yorkville provides heavy gauge certified power cords which safely deliver up to 12A to interconnected equipment. It is important to
know what the total current requirements are for all of the equipment you want to connect together in a chain.
All of our SYNERGY products have their current rating marked at the rear of the enclosure. This number represents the typical
current drawn at moderate power levels. If the total rated current is below 12A the system will operate safely even when the
amplifiers are operating at higher power levels.
Here is an example of using the rated current to ensure you’re not overloading the power cords.
The SA102 is rated 1.0A at 120V therefore Two SA102 will consume 2.0A
The SA115S is rated 3.0A at 120V therefore Two SA1115S will consume 6.0A
The total rated current of the four pieces of equipment is 8.0A
This is less than the 12A limit and this system will operate safely.
NOTE:
The SA221SKIT is a 16A option that exists for the SA221S subwoofer and this line cord can safely deliver up to 16A.
3. Always inspect the cords and plugs before use. Do not use outlets or cords that have exposed wiring, are worn or
damaged. Replace electrical cords that have worn or damaged insulation and remember to pull the plug, not the cord
to extend the life of the cord itself. Please replace with the equivalent heavy-duty cord supplied by the manufacturer.
4. The AC supply cord should be routed so that it is unlikely that it will be damaged. Protect the power cord from being
walked on or pinched. If the AC supply cord is damaged DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT. To completely disconnect this
apparatus from the AC Mains, disconnect the power supply cord plug from the AC receptacle. The mains plug of the
power supply cord shall remain readily operable. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for
long periods of time. Route cords away from traffic to avoid tripping hazards and unnecessary wear on the power
cord.
5. Never Break Off the Third Prong on a Plug. Replace broken 3-prong plugs and make sure the third prong is properly
grounded.
6. Keep line cords away from heat, water and oil. They can damage the insulation and create a shock hazard.
7. Do not tie cords in tight knots. Knots can cause short circuits and shocks. Loop the cords or use a twist lock plug.
