7. ON LED
This LED will illuminate when the HDA is connected
to a live AC mains outlet. The front panel LED will also
turn on, but only if the POWER LIGHT ON switch [4] is
engaged.
8. AC MAINS
There is no power switch on the HDA. When
connected to the AC mains, the loudspeaker will be
fully operational, with the output level controlled by the
signal source feeding it.
Connect the supplied AC mains cord to the AC
MAINS Neutrik PowerCon
®
jack on the rear of the HDA.
The PowerCon
®
system utilizes a locking connector. To
lock, twist 1/4 turn clockwise after fully inserting it into
the AC MAINS receptacle. Then connect the other end
of the cable to the AC mains supply receptacle.
The ON LED [7] will light when powered up. The
front panel LED will also illuminate, but only if the
POWER LIGHT ON switch [4] is engaged.
Ensure that the AC mains voltage matches
the voltage rating listed on the HDA below
the AC MAINS connector. Do not apply 230V
mains power if the voltage rating on the loudspeaker is
115V. Immediate and catastrophic damage to the HDA
will result and may cause a fi re hazard, serious personal
injury, or even death.
Ensure that the AC power supply has a
properly grounded safety ground. Failure to
follow this warning could cause equipment
damage, serious personal injury, or even death.
The supplied 9.5 foot (2,896 mm) AC mains
plug may not be appropriate for local AC
mains receptacles. If not, have a qualifi ed
electrician remove the existing AC mains plug and
install a plug appropriate for the AC mains supply
receptacle and following all local codes.
If an extension cord is used for the AC mains,
use only a cord with the appropriate wire size
and current rating for the required current
draw and extension cord length.
As a general guide, powered speakers should
be powered up last, after the mixer and other
sources. They should also be the fi rst things
turned off. This will reduce the possibility of any
turn-on, or turn-off thumps in the loudspeakers.
9. AC LOOP
The Neutrik PowerCon
®
AC MAINS and AC LOOP
connectors are wired in parallel to provide an
AC MAINS inlet and outlet on each HDA.
A 1.5 foot (457 mm) AC LOOP cable is included with
the HDA. The white connector mates with the AC LOOP
outlet, while the blue connector mates with the
AC MAINS inlet. Therefore, to loop the AC MAINS from
enclosure to enclosure, connect the included AC MAINS
jumper cable from the AC LOOP output of one HDA to
the AC MAINS input of the next HDA as shown on page
6. Up to four HDAs may be looped in this fashion from a
single 20A service.
The maximum, continuous load from the
fi rst HDA Loop output must not exceed 6A at
100–120V and 3A at 220–240V.
10. AC LOOP CIRCUIT BREAKER
The AC LOOP circuit breaker protects the AC LOOP
outlet. If the continuous load connected to the AC LOOP
outlet exceeds the rated load, the circuit breaker will
trip. For this situation, reduce the connected load and
then manually reset the circuit breaker.
As is the case with the AC LOOP, the
maximum, continuous load from the fi rst HDA
Loop output must not exceed 6A at 100–120V
and 3A at 220–240V.
