Rack Mounting
VHD5000 will mount in standard 19" rack systems. Integral rear mounting rack ears are also provided for additional support,
do not rely on fixing and mounting the amplifiers using just the front panel as support. Use eight screws and washers to
mount the amplifier to the equipment rack rails (four for the front and four for the rear).
We recommend using a shock mounted rack for touring use to prolong the life of your VHD5000 amplifiers.
Cooling
The VHD5000 amplifier is cooled with two shock mounted fans, that moves air from the front panel through dust filters across
the heatsinks and exhausts through the rear.
Although this unit is simple to operate, improper use can be dangerous. This is a very high-powered device that can put out
high voltages and sizeable currents.
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
Two PowerCon 32A cables are provided to connect the VHD5000 to a suitable AC power supply.
The PowerCon 32A 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. The VHD5000 amplifiers features switchable
power supply which automatically adapts for the input voltage in range from 195 to 260V AC.
Remember that if you are connecting both AC cables for the VHD5000 to the same AC power source then you will need to
have double the per channel current available.
