VHD3200D · Getting started 

Unpacking

Unpack the VHD3200D and check to see if there is any damage to it. If you find any damage notify your supplier immediately. 
Only the consignee may institute a claim with the carrier for damage incurred during shipping. Be sure to save the carton and 
all packing materials for the carrier's inspection.

Should you ever need to ship the unit, only use the original factory packaging. If the shipping carton is unavailable, contact 
your supplier to obtain a replacement.

The VHD3200D carton should contain: 
•  VHD3200D amplifier control unit               •     User's Guide               •     PowerCon detachable power cable

Rack Mounting

VHD3200D's 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 VHD3200D 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 VHD3200D.

AC Requirements

Two PowerCon cables are provided to connect the VHD3200D 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 VHD3200D will be supplied pre set to the voltage used in your area. The table below provides typical current draw 
figures for the VHD3200D.

Cooling

The VHD3200D 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.

IMPORTANT! Please note that for correct full performance of the unit AND ANY WARRANTY COVER,  
it is important that regular maintenance of the front vents and filters as well as the rear panel fans be inspected  
and cleaned by removing any dust and debris build-up. Any product failure due to lack of attention in this matter will 
immediately void any current warranty. (Please refer to notes re ventilation procedures).

Remember that if you are connecting both AC cables for the VHD3200D to the same AC power source then you will 
need to have double the per channel current available.
