6.2 Metal loss correction
In many buildings, the metal content in
ceilings and floors is very high . This metal
may cause frequency-dependent loss of field
strength . At a lower limit frequency between
0 .01 Hz and 100 Hz; the loss is 3 dB / octave .
The metal loss correction will counteract
this loss: Frequencies below 1 kHz will be at-
tenuated and frequencies above this value will
be boosted by up to 3 dB / octave . Determining
the effect of metal on the frequency response
requires special equipment; it is difficult and
involves a lot of effort . It is much easier to
monitor the loop signal with an induction
receiver (e . g . LR-202):
Activating and adjusting the correction
feature
WARNING For activating the metal loss
correction, the unit must be
opened . Therefore, only qual-
ified personnel may do this .
Risk of electric shock!
1) Disconnect the mains plug from the socket .
2) Unscrew the housing cover .
3) To activate the function, place the jumper
J2 in position ON . The jumper can be
found between the microfuse FU2 and
the relay RY1 .
4) Screw on the housing cover again .
5) For the time being, set the control METAL
LOSS CORRECTION (11) to 0 dB .
6) Switch on the amplifier and, in case of
an announcement, set the control METAL
LOSS CORRECTION to optimum speech
intelligibility .

7 Operation

It is not necessary to change the settings
made in chapter 6 . For normal operation, sim-
ply switch on the loop amplifier . Switch on the
units of a PA system in the following order:
1 . the audio units (signal sources)
2 . the PA amplifier
3 . the loop amplifier
To switch off the system, proceed in reverse
order .
7.1 Protective circuit
In case of a fault (failure, overheating), the
red LED PROT (5) will light up and the signal
for the induction loop will be turned off . In
this case, switch off the amplifier and consult
skilled personnel to eliminate the problem .
If the amplifier is overheated due to
insufficient ventilation or extreme ambient
temperature, it may be operated again after
it has cooled down . Improve the ventilation,
if required .
