Choose speaker cables carefully – please use cables with cores of minimum
1.5mm
2
and under 10m in length to prevent power loss.
Check all cables (speaker, signal and mains) for damage, loose terminals or
potential short circuits on regular occasions.
Speaker wires carry high voltages; care should be taken to ensure no bare
wires can be touched as this may result in electric shock.
The Pulse PLA Series features a dual use locking speaker connector on Output
A – this allows both amplifier channels to be accessed using one standard
locking speaker connector. Pins 1+1- are connected to Channel A, pins 2+2-
are connected to Channel B.
Do not use these amplifiers in damp or high humidity environments. Do not
use outdoors or anywhere where liquids could fall or splash onto the amplifier.
Ensure the amp is adequately ventilated, with free airflow around the front
and rear panels. Keep away from other heat sources. If the amps are
mounted in a rack with other amps, ensure there is adequate cool air flow
front and rear. Note that air is drawn in through the front panel, and
exhausted through the rear panel.
NEVER cover the amplifiers, as they may overheat.
PULSE power amplifiers are designed to fit standard 19” racks, with a 2U
height and 14.5” depth (not including space for connectors & cables)
Ensure that the AC power supply is correct for your amplifier. The required AC
supply is stated on the rear panel next to the AC power input.
Ensure that you use the correct type of mains lead for your equipment and
country. This must be free from damage and easily accessible during use.
Keep away from magnetic recording media (tape, mini disc, hard drive etc).
Power amplifiers produce an electromagnetic field, which could affect stored
files.
Sound reinforcement systems can produce levels of sound that have the
potential to damage a person’s hearing. Please operate this equipment with
due care and diligence. If you are in any doubt of the correct operating
volume for any speaker/amplifier system, please seek advice from a audio
industry professional of suitable qualification to advise on Sound Levels. We
also advise the use of good quality decibel meters to ensure sound levels are
maintained. In the UK the Health & Safety Executive will be able to offer
advise regarding Noise in the Workplace.
