Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 701984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure 1. 17. Nonuse Periods ­ The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time. 18. Object and Liquid Entry ­ Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings. 19. Damage Requiring Service ­ The appliance should be serviced by qualified service personnel when: A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has spilled into the appliance; or C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged. 20. Servicing ­ The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel. 12. Grounding or Polarization ­ Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or polarization means of an appliance is not defeated. 8. Wall or Ceiling Mounting ­ The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer. 9. Ventilation ­ The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings. 10. Heat ­ The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat. 11. Power Sources ­ The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance. 1 FIGURE 1 EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING ACCORDING TO NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN ARTICLE 810 - "RADIO AND TELEVISION EQUIPMENT" ENGLISH FRANÇAIS ANTENNA LEAD IN WIRE GROUND CLAMP ANTENNA DISCHARGE UNIT (NEC SECTION 810­20) ELECTRIC SERVICE EQUIPMENT GROUNDING CONDUCTORS (NEC SECTION 810­21) GROUND CLAMPS POWER SERVICE GROUNDING ELECTRODE SYSTEM (NEC ART 250, PART H) NEC ­ NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER: This reminder is provided to call the CATV (Cable-TV) system installer's attention to Article 820 ­ 40 of the NEC, which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical. 2 A B C G R L DX LOCAL IN AM SCAN STEP 9 kHz 10 kHz R OUT 110V 220V 75 FM ANTENNA A FM ATT. 75 GND AM 50 µS 75 µS FM ANTENNA B AM ANTENNA FM DE-EMPHASIS OUTPUT REMOTE CONTROL D EF Figure 1 å ç é MEMORY PRESET STEREO MONO AUTO TUNING TUNED kHz MHz q !4 © !3 A B WIDE NARROW MEMORY PRESET MUTING STEREO MONO AUTO TUNING TUNED kHz MHz ANTENNA POWER FM IF BAND MONO BAND MEMO DISPLAY STEREO TUNER ST-17 ST NAME PRESET TUNING AUTO w e rt y ui o !0 !1 !2 Figure 2 3 FRANÇAIS ENGLISH INTRODUCTION Thank you for selecting the Marantz model ST-17 Stereo Tuner for your audio system. This Stereo Tuner incorporates a number of features designed to enhance the listening of your favorite audio sources. Please read these operating instructions carefully. We recommend that you read the entire user guide before you attempt to connect or operate the unit. After you have reviewed the contents of this manual, we suggest that you make all system connections before you attempt to operate the unit. Refer to the Figures on pages 3 and 20 at the rear of this user guide. The callout numbers on the Figures correspond to those found in the text. All references to the connections and controls that are printed in BOLD type are as they appear on the unit. EQUIPMENT REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS AND CONTROLS (Figure 1) ENGLISH FRANÇAIS ABC A ANTENNA CONNECTIONS Both FM and AM antenna can be connected to the tuner's terminals. FM ANTENNA TERMINAL The FM ANTENNA terminal is used to connect an external FM antenna with a circular plug. It can also be used to connect the accessory FM feeder antenna. B C FM ANTENNA B TERMINAL The FM ANTENNA terminal is used to connect an external FM antenna with a circular plug, or for connecting a cable network to the tuner. AM ANTENNA TERMINAL PRECAUTIONS The following precautions should be taken when operating the equipment. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS When siting the equipment ensure that: -- the ventilation holes are not covered; -- air is allowed to circulate freely around the equipment -- it is on a vibration free-surface; -- it will not be exposed to interference from an external source; -- it will not be exposed to excessive heat, cold, moisture or dust; -- it will not be exposed to direct sunlight; -- it will not be exposed to electrostatic discharges ¼ Never place heavy objects on the equipment. ¼ If a foreign body or water dose enter the equipment, contact your nearest dealer or service center. ¼ Do not pull out the plug by pulling on the mains lead, hold the plug. ¼ It is advisable when leaving the house, or during a thunderstorm, to disconnect the equipment from the mains supply. The AM terminal and the GND terminal are used to connect the highperformance, low-impedance, AM loop antenna that is provided with the receiver. The AM loop antenna can be used on top of the tuner or can be mounted on a suitable rack or shelf near the tuner. Interference may be reduced if the tuner is earthed. In areas where the AM loop antenna supplied gives unsatisfactory result, it is recommended that the tuner be connected to an outdoor antenna. Use the terminal marked AM for this. Anearthing lead can be connected to the terminal marked GND to further reduce interference. D FM ATTENUATE SWITCH (FM ATT.) This switch attenuates the FM signal input to the ATTENNA B terminal. DX : For use when the FM signal is comparatively weak. (The input FM signal is not attenuated.) LOCAL: For use when the FM signal is comparatively strong. (The input FM signal is attenuated by approx. 20dB.) E F OUTPUT JACKS With the lead supplied, connect the output jacks to the tuner inputs of your amplifier. REMOTE CONTROL BUS TERMINALS Another item of audio equipment with a remove control bus terminal can be connected to these terminals by using a specialpurpose cable. The bus OUT terminal is used to send signals to another item of equipment. The bus IN terminal is used to receive signals from another item of equipment. G AC POWER CONNECTION The correct voltage for operating your tuner is indicated on the rear panel. Be sure the POWER switch is off before plugging the AC mains lead into an electrical outlet. H SCAN-STEP SELECTION Changes the step when the tuner searches for the next station up or down the scale. In Europe this swich should be set to 9 kHz steps in AM. CAUTION THE UNIT MUST BE TURNED OFF BEFORE CHANGING THE SCAN-STEP SELECTOR SWITCH POSITION. WHEN THIS SWITCH IS SET TO OFF, THE CONTENTS OF THE PRESET MEMORY AND STATION NAME ARE ERASED AT THAT TIME, STORE THE CONTENTS AGAIN. I FM DE-EMPHASIS SWITCH This models are equipped with switchable de-emphasis. The de-emphasis switch works in conjuction with this scan-step selector switch. The de-emphasis set to 50°s when delivered from the factory. 4 (Figure 2) q POWER SWITCH Press to switch the power ON. Press again to switch to power OFF. The mains switch is secondary connected and does not disconnect the entire set from the mains. ANTENNA BUTTON This button is only operable when the FM band is selected.
