Section 4: The EON 210P PA System Power Amplifier
AC Power Requirements
The EON 210P is equipped with a Crown
®
Class D power amplifier and loudspeaker specific DSP electronics
and requires appropriate AC power. Before plugging the Mixer Module into an outlet ensure that it is able to
provide appropriate AC power.
A robust AC supply is necessary for maximum performance. If the supply is too weak the bass performance may
be affected and if it sags (drops) too much the system may self-mute to protect itself. As soon as the appropriate
AC supply is restored it will continue to operate. Plugging multiple systems into the same outlet and long
extension cord runs may affect the AC supply to the system.
CAUTION
In compliance with safety agency criteria and proper system operation, it is critical that the
system installer observe all electrical safety practices at all times and provide proper earth
grounding for all AC Power connections.
Powering Up
The main power switch is located on the side of the mixer module where the AC cable attaches to the mixer.
Changing Voltage
Your EON 210P will typically be set at the factory to accommodate the power mains voltage in your area.
Before you set up your EON 210P for the first time it is a good idea to verify that the setting of the selector is
appropriate for the power in your area. In the event that you do need to change the voltage:
• Make sure that the speaker is powered off and the AC (IEC connector)
is disconnected from the mixer module.
•
Directly beside the male IEC connector on the mixer module is a red voltage selector.
Just slide the switch to the appropriate setting.
• Set the voltage selector switch to the 115V for (100-120V~) or 230V for (220-240V~)
range setting as required for your area.
• After having reconfirmed that the correct voltage is selected,
reconnect the AC (IEC connector) and power the unit up.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES OPERATE THE UNIT WITH THE WRONG VOLTAGE SELECTED.
DOING SO MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR PA SYSTEM WHICH WILL NOT BE COVERED
BY WARRANTY.
Operating Temperature
The design of the Crown amplifier is such that it is very energy efficient and as a result does not get really hot. In
the rare event that it does get too hot it will automatically shut down to protect itself. When its temperature has
returned to within its operating range it will turn back on. A condition under which this may occur is when the
system is operated in very high ambient temperatures and the heat sink on the rear of the enclosure is in direct
sunlight. Always ensure adequate cooling and appropriate shade.
