EPAK2500R · Getting Started
Cooling
The EPAK2500R has a comprehensive cooling system featuring chassis-sealed PCB board mounting and shock
mounted, speed controlled fans. This means that the cooling system never drives air across PCB boards, connectors or
components ensuring prolonged electronic component lifespan and minimizing maintenance cycles.
Air is drawn into the front of the amplifier by the two fans on the rear panel, this passes over the cooling fins
of the heat sinks and exhausts through the rear. If the heat sink gets too hot, its sensing circuit will open the output
relay, disconnecting the load.
It is important to have an adequate air supply at the front of the amplifier, and enough space around the rear
of the amplifier to allow the cooling air to escape. If the unit is rack mounted, do not use doors or covers on the rear of
the rack; the exhaust air must flow without restriction. If you are using racks with closed backs, use fans on the rear rack
panel to ensure an ample air supply.
AC Requirements
A PowerCon cable is provided to connect the EPAK2500R to a suitable AC power supply.
The PowerCon is a connector without breaking capacity, i.e. the PowerCon should not be connected
or disconnected under load or while it is live. Always isolate your AC supply before disconnecting the PowerCon
connector.
Your EPAK2500R will be supplied pre set to the voltage used in your area.
