INPUT and only the emergency announce-
ment will be reproduced . To adjust the vol-
ume for emergency announcements, use the
separate volume control LEVEL (17) .
5.2.3 Priority relay and 24 V auxiliary voltage
When a relay or a priority switch is connected
to the terminals PRI CTL / GND (16) and the
relay or switch is closed, the internal priority
relay will also switch over . Its terminals PRIOR-
ITY RELAY (11) can be used to control further
actions, e . g . to set PA attenuators with emer-
gency priority relay to the maximum volume .
If a 24 V voltage is required for switch-
ing the emergency priority relays, the voltage
from the te24 V (16), for example,
may be routed via the relay contacts .

The 24 V voltage has a current rating of

applications .
5.2.4 Remote-controlled
activation /deactivation
A switch connected to the terminal strip
POWER REMOTE (7) can be used for re-
mote-controlled activation / deactivation of
the amplifier . When using the remote control
feature, make sure that the amplifier has not
been switched on with the POWER switch (3) .
5.2.5 Power supply and
emergency power supply
1) Finally, connect the mains cable provided
to the mains jack (5) first and then to a
socket (230 V/ 50 Hz) .
2) To ensure continued operation of the
amplifier in case of mains failure, connect
a 24 V emergency power supply unit (e . g .
PA-24ESP from MONACOR) to the screw
terminals 24 V
⎓
(8) . For a cable length of
up to 4 m, a minimum cable cross section
of 5 mm
2
is required .
6 Operation
When the amplifier is switched off and mains
voltage is applied, the LED STANDBY (1) will
light up .
1) To prevent switching noise, switch on all
other units of the PA system before switch-
ing on the amplifier .
2) Before switching on the amplifier for the
first time, set the two controls LEVEL (12,
17) to zero to make sure that the initial
volume will not be too high . To switch on
the amplifier, use the POWER switch (3)
or a switch connected to the terminals
POWER REMOTE (7) . The power LED ON
will light up . During the switch-on process,
the amplifier will be muted and the LED
PROTECT will light up in addition .
3) Use the control LEVEL (12) on the left
of the input PGM INPUT (13) to set the
desired volume of the signal source . The
LED SIGNAL will light up when a specific
signal level is reached . In case of overload,
the red LED CLIP will light up . In this case,
turn back the volume with the control
accordingly .
4) Use the control LEVEL (17) to set the vol-
ume for important announcements fed
to the amplifier via the input PRIORITY
INPUT (18) . For this purpose, close the
priority switch (or the relay) connected to
the terminals PRI CTL / GND (16) . The LED
PRIORITY will light up .
5) To improve speech intelligibility, use DIP
switch No . 2 (14) to activate (position ON)
a high-pass filter (200 Hz) . This will sup-
press low-frequency noise .
6) To reduce the power consumption, a switch-
mode power supply unit and a class D
power amplifier have been used . To save
even more power, the amplifier can be set
to sleep mode after 10 seconds without
any input signal . To indicate this mode, the
LED SLEEP (1) will light up . As soon as there
is a signal at the input again, the amplifier
will return to normal mode . To activate
the automatic sleep mode, set DIP switch
No . 1 (14) to the lower position (ON) .
7 Protective Circuit
The amplifier is equipped with a protective cir-
cuit against overheating, overload and short
circuit at the speaker outputs . In case of over-
heating, the LED PROTECT (1) will light up .
In case of overload, short circuit or another
fault, the LED FAULT will additionally light
up . In any case, the amplifier will be muted .
If one of these LEDs lights up, switch off the
amplifier and have the fault eliminated by
skilled personnel . If the protective circuit is not
automatically reset after the fault has been
eliminated, use a thin, non-conductive object
to actuate the recessed button OCP RESET (2) .
If the fault detection module PA-6FD
(chapter 4) has not been installed, set DIP
switch No . 3 (14) to the lower position ON
(= normal); otherwise, the protective circuit
will respond .
