CAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CHAPTER 2: POWER REQUIREMENTS
CAL loudspeakers combine advanced loudspeaker
technology with equally advanced power capabilities.
Understanding voltage and current requirements, as well as
electrical safety issues, is critical for safe operation of the
CAL loudspeaker.
AC INPUT CONNECTOR
The CAL loudspeaker receives AC power from its 3-pole,
grounded powerCON 20 locking connector. Located on the
unit’s rear panel, the locking connector is rated for up to
20 A. A 10-foot AC power cable, rated at 15 amps, is
included with each CAL loudspeaker.
If you replace the included AC power cable, make sure to
use a cable that is wired correctly and equipped with the
appropriate power plug (on the other end) for the area in
which you will operate the unit.
WIRING FOR AC CONNECTIONS
CAL loudspeakers require a grounded outlet. To operate
safely and effectively, it is extremely important that the
entire system be properly grounded.
When wiring international or special-purpose AC power
cables and connectors, use the following wiring scheme:
•
Connect the blue wire to the black terminal, or the
terminal marked with an N.
•
Connect the brown wire to the red terminal, or the
terminal marked with an L.
•
Connect the yellow and green wire to the green (or green
and yellow) terminal, or the terminal marked with an E.
CAUTION: When creating AC power cables, it
is important to preserve AC line polarity and
connect the earth ground on both ends of the cable.
CAL requires a grounded connection. Always use a
grounded outlet and plug. It is extremely important
that the system be properly grounded in order to
operate safely and properly.
Do not ground-lift the
AC cable.
