4.1 Unpacking the unit 

4. Setting up the amplifier

DPI amplifiers are packed in a strong cardboard box that pro

-

tects it during transport.  In case you ever need to ship the ampli-

fier again it is best to pack it using the original packaging materials.  

Therefore it is advised to save all packaging materials.

The packaging has been specially studied for low load to the 

environment.  The individual packaging materials can be easily 

separated and recycled.

Please  inspect  the  unit  carefully  for  any  signs  of  damage 

incurred  during  transport.   This  DPI  amplifier  has  undergone 

stringent quality control inspection and tests at the factory.  It 

left in perfect condition.  If damage is found notify the transport 

company immediately.

It  is  important  to  immediately  mount  the  fanguard  that  is 

included in the box.  It is an integral part of the electrical safety 

provisions of the unit.

When repacking the unit, use the same packing 

arrangement  as  shown  in  the  picture.  Make  sure 

to remove the fanguard. Place it on the side of the 

unit, between the two side buffers.  This protects the 

fanguard during transport.

Warning: Before continuing the installa-

tion of the DPI amplifier, mount the fan

-

guard on the front of the unit.

Place the two tabs of the fanguard in the corresponding holes 

on the right of the unit.  Push the fanguard against the front panel 

and secure it by turning the /4 turn lock 90° clockwise. 

DPI series amplifiers are equipped with two cooling fans with 

front to rear airflow.  When installing the amplifier, allow for ample 

space behind the amplifier to ensure sufficient airflow, especially 

if the amplifier is operated in a rack system.  This avoids thermal 

limiting of the output power or, in severe situations even shut-off 

by the thermal protection system.

The fancover can be easilly removed by turning the /4 turn 

lock 90° counterclockwise and pulling it off the frontpanel, left 

side first.

The standard air filter delivered with the amplifier is a black, 

8mm thick reticulated polyurethane foam with a density of 20PPI.  

The filter can be easilly cleaned by rinsing it with water.  Let it dry 

thouroughly before mounting it back onto the amplifier.

In case you need to replace the filter use only the prescribed 

material and thickness or contact your distributor for a replace-

ment.  

Do  not  use  the  amplifier  without  the  airfilter  in  place.  

Regular cleaning of the filter eliminates dust buildup inside the 

unit.
