These instructions are intended for installers
of the unit with technical knowledge of 100 V
technology in PA applications . Please read the
operating instructions carefully prior to opera-
tion and keep them for later reference .

4 LED indicators
Will light up when the protective circuit
responds; it will light up briefly each

time the amplifier is switched on or off
(or switched to the standby mode*) .
Will light up when the maximum signal
level allowed has been reached; if the

LED indicator lights up continuously,
turn back the level control .
Will light up when a specific signal level

accident,
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead
of this appliance may not correspond with
the coloured markings identifying the termi-
nals in your plug, proceed as follows:
1 . The wire which is coloured green and yel-
low must be connected to the terminal in
the plug which is marked with the letter
E or by the earth symbol ⏚, or coloured
green or green and yellow .
2 . The wire which is coloured blue must
be connected to the terminal which is
.
marked with the letter N or coloured
black .
3 . The wire which is coloured brown must
be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter L or coloured red .
Warning – This appliance must be earthed .
If the product is to be put out of oper-
ation definitively, dispose of the prod-
uct according to local regulations .
3 Applications
This class D amplifier is specially designed for
PA systems that use 100 V technology . How-
ever, it is also possible to use low-impedance
speakers instead of 100 V speakers .
Via four amplifier channels, the volume
for up to four speaker zones can be separately
adjusted . Each channel provides a balanced
line level input and an error message output
for remote monitoring of the operation state
of the channel (both connections designed as
plug-in screw terminals) . In addition, two ex-
ternal switches can be connected: a switch to
mute all four channels at the same time and a
switch for the function "Switch on  Standby" .
4 Installation
Installation must be made by skilled personnel
only .
4.1 Setting up the amplifier
The amplifier is designed for insertion into a
rack (482 mm / 19"), but it can also be set up on
its own . In order to ensure sufficient cooling of
the amplifier, air must always be able to flow
freely through all air vents .
4.1.1 Rack installation
For rack installation, 1 rack space (1 RS =
44 .45 mm) is required . For a safe installation
of the amplifier, lateral rails or a bottom plate
are recommended .
The hot air given off by the amplifier must
be dissipated from the rack; otherwise, heat
will accumulate in the rack which may not only
damage the amplifier but also other units in
the rack . In case of insufficient heat dissipation,
install a ventilation unit into the rack .
