1. AC Power Connection
Allows for connecting an appropriate power cord.
Each amplifier uses a switch mode power supply
that has an operating voltage of 100-240V at 50/60
Hz.
CAUTION
Do not remove or defeat the ground prong on the power
cord, as this will constitute a shock hazard. Equipment
should be connected to a mains socket outlet with a
protective earthing connection. This plug is the main
disconnecting device and should remain readily operable.
There are no user interchangeable parts. Please contact
Biamp Technical Support or your local distributor for all
service requirements.
2. Combined AVB/Control Ports
Two gigabit RJ-45 ports allow connections for
numerous network topologies. Ethernet cables must
be Cat 5e or better.
Supported network topologies are documented at
support.biamp.com
3. Logic IO
A standard 6-pin logic I/O may be used as a general
purpose logic I/O as well as allowing the amplifier to
enter or exit sleep mode. Functions are defined in
the Tesira software. The illustration below gives the
GPIO pin functions:
4. Amplifier Output Connections
Four powered speaker connections allow for audio
output. Mating plugs are included.
To minimize power loss, use a speaker cable of
appropriate gauge for the load impedance. For long
speaker cables, choose a low capacitance cable to
minimize high frequency loss.
If stranded speaker wire is used, be sure to
incorporate all strands into the connector. Stray
strands can short to the adjacent terminal or chassis.
Do not leave excessive bare wire outside the
terminals, as this can lead to shorts. Ensure wire
insulation is not crimped by the screw terminal.
Amplifier Rack Installation
The TesiraXEL 1200.2 model amplifier is a
standard rack-mount device which requires 2 RU of
installation space. Always install the lower chassis
rack-mount screws first (and remove last) as shown
in the illustrations on the following page.
CAUTION
Do not exceed the ambient operating temperature of 95°
F (35°C). Be aware of conditions in an enclosed rack
that may cause the temperature to exceed ambient room
conditions.
