Buen manual de instrucciones

Las leyes obligan al vendedor a entregarle al comprador, junto con el producto, el manual de instrucciones Linn Twin Klimax. La falta del manual o facilitar información incorrecta al consumidor constituyen una base de reclamación por no estar de acuerdo el producto con el contrato. Según la ley, está permitido adjuntar un manual de otra forma que no sea en papel, lo cual últimamente es bastante común y los fabricantes nos facilitan un manual gráfico, su versión electrónica Linn Twin Klimax o vídeos de instrucciones para usuarios. La condición es que tenga una forma legible y entendible.

¿Qué es un manual de instrucciones?

El nombre proviene de la palabra latina “instructio”, es decir, ordenar. Por lo tanto, en un manual Linn Twin Klimax se puede encontrar la descripción de las etapas de actuación. El propósito de un manual es enseñar, facilitar el encendido o el uso de un dispositivo o la realización de acciones concretas. Un manual de instrucciones también es una fuente de información acerca de un objeto o un servicio, es una pista.

Desafortunadamente pocos usuarios destinan su tiempo a leer manuales Linn Twin Klimax, sin embargo, un buen manual nos permite, no solo conocer una cantidad de funcionalidades adicionales del dispositivo comprado, sino también evitar la mayoría de fallos.

Entonces, ¿qué debe contener el manual de instrucciones perfecto?

Sobre todo, un manual de instrucciones Linn Twin Klimax debe contener:
- información acerca de las especificaciones técnicas del dispositivo Linn Twin Klimax
- nombre de fabricante y año de fabricación del dispositivo Linn Twin Klimax
- condiciones de uso, configuración y mantenimiento del dispositivo Linn Twin Klimax
- marcas de seguridad y certificados que confirmen su concordancia con determinadas normativas

¿Por qué no leemos los manuales de instrucciones?

Normalmente es por la falta de tiempo y seguridad acerca de las funcionalidades determinadas de los dispositivos comprados. Desafortunadamente la conexión y el encendido de Linn Twin Klimax no es suficiente. El manual de instrucciones siempre contiene una serie de indicaciones acerca de determinadas funcionalidades, normas de seguridad, consejos de mantenimiento (incluso qué productos usar), fallos eventuales de Linn Twin Klimax y maneras de solucionar los problemas que puedan ocurrir durante su uso. Al final, en un manual se pueden encontrar los detalles de servicio técnico Linn en caso de que las soluciones propuestas no hayan funcionado. Actualmente gozan de éxito manuales de instrucciones en forma de animaciones interesantes o vídeo manuales que llegan al usuario mucho mejor que en forma de un folleto. Este tipo de manual ayuda a que el usuario vea el vídeo entero sin saltarse las especificaciones y las descripciones técnicas complicadas de Linn Twin Klimax, como se suele hacer teniendo una versión en papel.

¿Por qué vale la pena leer los manuales de instrucciones?

Sobre todo es en ellos donde encontraremos las respuestas acerca de la construcción, las posibilidades del dispositivo Linn Twin Klimax, el uso de determinados accesorios y una serie de informaciones que permiten aprovechar completamente sus funciones y comodidades.

Tras una compra exitosa de un equipo o un dispositivo, vale la pena dedicar un momento para familiarizarse con cada parte del manual Linn Twin Klimax. Actualmente se preparan y traducen con dedicación, para que no solo sean comprensibles para los usuarios, sino que también cumplan su función básica de información y ayuda.

    1. Introduction Thank you f or buying the Klimax Twin, the second member of the Klimax amplifier family and the best amplifiers we make. Lik e the Klimax Solo the K limax Twin uses the latest t echnology and exemplifies our constant endeav our to make ever better sounding pr oducts.

    2. Wha t is it? The Klimax Twin is a tw o channel power amplifier designed f or use in multi amplifier and multi channel audio and audio/video systems. The case is precision machined from two solid sections of aluminium alloy . The machining is done on a computer contr olled multi-axis machining centre , with the final cut on the top face made by a[...]

    3. How does the Klimax w ork? In most power amplifiers the pow er supply comprises a large tr ansformer , a rectifier and reser voir capacitors, of ten as large as the transformer . The highest per formance amplifiers also have v oltage regulators which maintain the pow er supplied to the amplifier circuitry constant, regardless of the input voltag[...]

    What is switch mode? In a switch mode power supply the inc oming mains is filtered then rectified to generat e a very high voltage dc (direct current) supply . This is usually about 300 to 350 Volts dc , which is far too high to operate audio circuitry direc tly , and is still connec ted directly to the incoming mains supply . Such a high voltage i[...]

    So what’ s the problem? The first problem is that this is a lot more c omplicated than a mains transformer (a f ew k ilos of copper and iron), a rectifier and some large capacitors. A switch mode design optimised for minimum part count will still have man y tens of par ts, most of which are quite delicate but still have t o operate reliably in a [...]

    Some assor ted facts The transf ormer in the Klimax is less than 40mm (1.5 inches) cube. At 50/60 Hz it could deliver about 5 W atts. In the K limax it can deliver 1000 Watts . The reservoir capacitors in the Klimax are about the size of a thimble but give bett er filtering than ones the size of a beer can used in other very powerful amplifiers. Th[...]

    Output current and pr otection A commonly asked question about a power amplifier conc erns its maximum output current. There is some good reason behind this question. There is always some trade off betw een output power , 'specmanship', protection and cost in a power amplifier . Output power specification (into 8 Ohms) can be incr eased s[...]

    The Klimax Twin, lik e all Linn amplifiers, is specified into a 4 Ohm load. We don't do this t o claim a bigger output power , but to show that our amplifiers are int ended and fully specified for operation into 4 Ohm loudspeakers. Most Linn loudspeakers have nominally 4 Ohms input impedance. The Klimax Twin has a simple decision making protec[...]

    4. Installation The compactness of the Klimax T win makes it ver y easy to install and makes possible high power multi- amplifier systems which would be impractical with con ventionally designed amplifiers of similar pow er , because of their size and weight. The unique wall mount system can be used to minimise the intrusion of the audio system int[...]

    When operating , the fan draws cool air in through the back of the amplifier , and blows it along the heat exchanger until it exits through the fr ont, top and bottom. The amplifier is fully protected against ov er heating , but this is only for protection and should never operate in normal use, whatever your 'normal use' is. If you only [...]

    Mains supply The Klimax Twin has an aut omatic internal mains voltage swit ch. This allows it to operate from 90 V ac to 260 V ac. With a mains supply below 140 V ac two seconds after switching on the amplifier the power supply switches to low range , with a just audible click, and remains there as long as power is applied . F or all normal music o[...]

    F itting in separate mains wiring spurs for the sour ces and pow er amplifiers is not to isolate them from the mains distortion present in the rest of the house; it's to reduce ho w much of the mains distortion from the power amplifiers gets into the other audio c omponents in the system! Linn switch mode pow ered components can actually help [...]

    Signal sensing In the absence of a music input signal the Klimax Twin r everts to a low power standb y mode after 10 minutes. The signal detector is very sensitive and waits about one second before po wering up the amplifier to be certain the signal is real, not just noise. The detection threshold has been found ov er many installations to be a goo[...]

    Inputs and outputs The Klimax Twin has both unbalanc ed and balanced inputs, selec ted by a switch on the back panel. Use the appropriate one to suit y our choice of preamplifier and cabling . The LED will indicate when the unbalanced inputs are selected. Both signals are echoed out the unbalanced 'line out' socket to enable daisy chainin[...]

    5. Opera tion This is the easiest bit. The blue light will be dim when power is first applied , then remain dimmed with the Klimax T win in standby mode. When a signal is detected the light brightens up as the amplifier is enabled. If the amplifier needs to protect itself it will shut down entirely f or a few seconds and dim the light. There is no [...]
