4.  Rear panel features 

 

AC Power Inlet: 

The 3 pin IEC connector is located in the centre of the amplifier rear panel. It accepts a standard mains 
power lead fitted with an IEC connector. 
 

AC/DC Fuse Receptacles: 

Both AC and DC power inputs are protected by means of electronic fuses. There are no serviceable parts 
inside of the amplifier case. 
 

Power Switch: 

The power switch is located next to the power inlet on the rear panel. When the power switch is in the “ON” 
position, the front panel power LED will be lit. 
 

24VDC battery backup connector: 

The DPA

four

 amplifier can be operated with battery backup.  The connector is located on the central part of 

the amplifier rear panel. This 24VDC power supply can be used where AC power is not available or 
according to EN54 as a secondary supply. When in use, the front panel Power LED will activate in addition 
to the front panel DC LED. 
 

CAUTION!

  

If connected directly to a battery unit, this connection should be externally fused with 

 

 

50A max. 

 

 

This is not required when connected to the Ateis BECS150 Charger and Supply unit 

 

Channel 1-4 Audio Output: 

For each amplifier channel, there is a dedicated Audio Output connector for connection of a single selection 
from a 4Ohm loudspeaker load 

or

 one of a 50V, 70V or 100V line loudspeaker load not to exceed the rating 

of the amplifier output. For each load type, the Com point is the –ve terminal. The 4Ohm, 50V, 70V and 
100V are the +ve terminals for each load type. 

 

Channel 1-4 Inputs: 

For each channel, there is a Euro terminal block balanced input. Each input offers gain adjustment as 
required. 
 

General Fault Output Contact: 

The fault contact indicates an amplifier fault by giving an opening contact. (NC) 
 

Service Request Output Contact: 

The Service Request contact indicates that maintenance is needed. This is indicated by giving an opening 
contact. (NC) 
 

Lamp Test Input Contact: 

By closing this input contact, all LEDs on the front display of the amplifier will activate. 
 

Spare Input Contact: 

For future use.
