WARNING: THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED
(CLASS I APPLIANCE)
Risk of fire: Do not expose to rain or moisture.
No user serviceable parts inside – refer servicing to qualified personnel.
Only to be used at altitudes below 2000 metres.
Only to be used in non-tropical climate regions.
For indoor use only.
Do not use this amplifier if the electrical power cable is frayed or broken.
No naked flame sources such as lit candles should be placed on the equipment.
This device must be powered exclusively by earth connected mains sockets in
electrical networks compliant with IEC 364 or similar.
This unit has been engineered and manufactured to ensure your personal safety.
IMPROPER USE CAN RESULT IN POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR
FIRE HAZARD
In order not to defeat the safeguards incorporated into this product, observe the
following basic rules for its installation, use and service. Please read “Important
Safeguards” listed below carefully before use.
1.1 Important safety instructions
1.2 Important safeguards
1.4 WEEE Directive
Read these instructions.
Keep these instructions.
Heed all warnings.
Follow all instructions.
Do not use this equipment near water.
Disconnect the AC mains source before cleaning any part of the amplifier.
Clean with a damp cloth.
Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, stoves, or other apparatus
that produce heat.
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at power
outlets and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
Use only with the trolley, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a trolley is used, use caution when
moving the trolley/apparatus combination to avoid injury.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods
of time.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is
damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or
has been dropped.
The apparatus shall be connected to a MAINS socket outlet with a protective earth
connection.
THE MANUFACTURER CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGES
CAUSED TO PERSONS, THINGS OR DATA DUE TO AN IMPROPER OR
MISSING EARTH CONNECTION.
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE Directive) aims
to minimise the impact of electrical and electronic goods on the environment.
Funktion-One Research Ltd. comply with the Directive 2012/19/EU.
Funktion-One products are designed for longevity and repairability, we hope they
provide many decades of enjoyment and useful operation. In the unlikely event that
you need to dispose of your Funktion-One product, all of our products are marked
with the WEEE symbol; this indicates that this product must NOT be disposed
with other waste. Instead it is the user’s responsibility to dispose of their unwanted
Funktion-One electrical and electronic equipment by returning it to Funktion-One
Research Ltd. for recycling and reprocessing.
For more information about where you can send your waste equipment for
recycling, please contact Funktion-One Research Ltd. or your local distributor.

SAFETY AND REGULATIONS
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug.
A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type
plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong
are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult
an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
1.3 United States of America

S B8A / S B10 A US e r G U i d e
The SB8A/SB10A contains a universal power factor corrected (PFC) switch-
mode power supply which operates on a voltage range of 100-240V AC, 50-
60Hz.
The SB8A/SB10A contains hazardous internal voltages. Do not open the amplifier
enclosure – risk of electric shock.
No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
The SB8A/SB10A is a Class I appliance and MUST be connected with a three-
wire cable to a mains outlet with a safety earth connection.
THE EARTH WIRE SHOULD NOT BE DISCONNECTED UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCE.
IEC C13 mains cables are readily available worldwide.
For reference, the mains wiring in EU countries is:
Earth: Green and Yellow
Neutral: Blue
Live: Brown
The mains inlet contains a user-replaceable fuse.
For continued protection against fire, only replace the fuse with the same type and
rating: T3AL 250V (5x20mm glass)
1.5 Electrical considerations
1.6 Mechanical & thermal
NEVER under any circumstance replace the fuse with a higher rating. Risk of fire
and damage to the equipment.
Repeated fuse blowing indicates a fault and the amplifier must be returned to
Funktion-One for service.
ENSURE THERE IS ADEQUATE VENTILATION
The amplifier enclosure is convection cooled therefore care must be taken to
ensure that sufficient volumes of air can flow across and through the amplifier.
This is usually accomplished by ensuring vents are not blocked and at least 100mm
(4’’) of free space from the rear panel of the amplifier module, and 150mm (6”)
above the cabinet.
If airflow is impeded, the amplifier will overheat and enter thermal protect mode
(fault LED solid red).
4Ω loads on the satellite outputs will significantly increase the thermal dissipation,
and forced air cooling may be required to sustain full output in high ambient
temperatures.
The amplifier is designed to be permanently fixed inside the loudspeaker cabinet
and should not be operated outside of the cabinet.
1.8 Safety symbols
The triangle with the lightning bolt is used to alert the
user to risk of electric shock.
The triangle with the exclamation mark is used to
alert the user to important operating or maintenance
instructions,
1.7 Volume warning
The SB8A/SB10A is capable of producing high sound levels that can damage your
hearing over time. Care should be taken to manage your noise exposure levels.
1.9 FCC compliance
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used accordance with the
instructions, may cause interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
• Consult your dealer or an experienced audio visual technician for help.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
