The   DNA   Pro   Amplifier   system   is   designed   to   be   mounted   in   a   standard   19”   rack   enclosure.   

Where   the   amplifier   is   used   in   a   fixed   installation,   as   long   as   the   bottom   unit   is   supported   and   there   
are   no   gaps   between   units,   it   is   acceptable   to   use   only   the   front   panel   19”   rack   holes   when   fitting   it   
in   a   standard   rack   enclosure.   If   the   amplifier   is   mounted   in   a   mobile   rack   it   is   important   that   the   rear   
is   supported   with   a   rear   rack   mounting   kit   (part   number   ZA1182).   Damage   caused   by   insufficient   
support   is   not   covered   by   the   warranty.   

To   prevent   damage   to   the   front   panel   it   is   recommended   that   plastic   cups   or   washers   are   fitted   
underneath   the   rack   mounting   bolt   heads.   

It   is   possible   to   mount   multiple   DNA   Pro   amplifiers   without   ventilation   gaps   between   them   but   it   is   
essential   that   an   unobstructed   flow   of   clean   air   is   available   from   the   front   of   the   unit   to   the   rear.   It   is   
important   that   neither   the   air   intakes   on   the   front   of   the   unit   or   the   exhaust   vents   at   the   rear   are   
covered.   Steps   must   be   taken   to   ensure   that   hot   air   does   not   continually   circulate   through   the   
amplifiers   from   the   back   of   the   rack   to   the   front.   

The   amplifier   should   never   be   exposed   to   rain   or   moisture   during   operation   or   storage.   If   the   unit   
does   come   into   contact   with   moisture,   remove   the   AC   power   cord   immediately   and   leave   it   in   a   dry   
and   warm   location   to   dry   out.   

Note   that   when   any   equipment   is   taken   from   a   cold   location   into   a   hot   humid   one,   condensation   
may   occur   inside   the   device.   Always   allow   time   for   the   equipment   to   attain   the   same   temperature   as   
its   surrounding   environment   before   connecting   the   AC   power   cord.   

AC   Power   Connection   

The   amplifier   utilises   a   32A   Neutrik   PowerCon

TM

   type   locking   AC   power   connector.   Use   only   an   AC   

power   cord   with   a   correctly   terminated   PowerCon

TM

   type   connector   to   make   the   connection   to   the   

mains   power   supply.   

The   amplifiers   are   designed   to   operate   on   50/60   Hz   AC   power.   The   power   supply   sections   
automatically   configure   themselves   for   either   115V   or   230V   nominal   voltage   at   turn   on.   The   
amplifiers   will   operate   over   an   extended   range   of   supply   voltages   (please   refer   to   the   technical   
specifications).   

Note   that   while   the   amplifier   will   operate   correctly   at   voltages   indicated,   the   specified   output   power   
will   only   be   achieved   when   operating   with   the   stated   nominal   voltages.
