3 Installation

Set up the amplifier on a flat, horizontal surface so that air will be able to flow freely through the air vents on the sides and on the rear to ensure sufficient cooling. Always switch off the amplifier before making or changing any connections. After connecting, put the protective caps on the screw terminals to protect you against any accidental contact.

3.1 Inputs

1) To connect a microphone, use the jack CH 1, CH 2 or CH 3. The input CH 1 or TEL INPUT has highest priority (selectable with DIP switch No. 4), i. e. when a signal is available at one of these two inputs, all other channels will be muted. Set the DIP switches SELECT to the required positions:

SELECT
No. 1 2	3 4
for input	CH 2 CH 3 CH 1			CH 1 and TEL INPUT
Position OFF	Mikrophone level		phantom power OFF	CH 1 has highest priority
Position ON	line level		phantom power ON*	TEL INPUT has highest priority

*Important: When phantom power has been activated, do not connect any microphone or audio unit with unbalanced output signal to the input CH1; the microphone/audio unit may be damaged.

Note: When announcements are being made via the channels CH 2 and CH 3, the signals of the music module and of the inputs CH 4 and CH 5 will be slightly attenuated.

2) To connect audio sources with line level output (e. g. CD player, mixer), use the following jacks:

- RCA jacks CH 4 and CH 5

- 6.3 mm jacks CH 2 and CH 3

Note: The inputs CH4 and CH5 are provided with a pair of jacks for the connection of audio stereo sources. The amplifier will create a mono signal from the stereo signal. To connect stereo audio sources to the inputs CH 2 and CH 3, use a stereo/mono adapter (e.g. SMC-1).

When connecting the audio sources to the jacks CH 2 and CH 3, set the DIP switches 1 and 2 to the position ON (also see table).

3) For important (emergency) announcements, use the input TEL INPUT. It is possible to connect, for example, a telephone system with line level output to this input.

Note: A signal at the input TEL INPUT will mute all other channels. When DIP switch 4 is in the position OFF, however, announcements made via the input

CH 1 will have highest priority and will also mute the channel TEL INPUT.

4) Connect a DAB/FM antenna to the jack ANTENNA. With good reception conditions, the wire antenna provided can be used.
5) If it is necessary to mute the speaker outputs, connect the two MUTE terminals, e. g. via a switch.

3.2 Outputs

1) Speakers: Either connect 100V or 70V speakers to the terminals "100V" or "70V" and "COM" (page 2, fig. 1). The load by the speakers must not exceed the power rating of the amplifier (chapter 5); otherwise, the protective circuit will interrupt the connection to the speaker terminals.

Or connect a speaker or a speaker group to the terminals "4 Ω", "8 Ω" or "16 Ω" and "COM". The total impedance of the speakers must not fall below the value indicated at the terminal used. Figure 2 on page 2 shows various ways to observe the minimum impedance. There are, however, also other possibilities.

2) At the RCA jacks REC OUT 1 and 2, the mixed signal is available. The control MASTER will not have any effect on the volume of this signal. The jacks can also be used, for example, for a recorder or additional PA amplifiers if more speakers are required than PA-806DAP can handle.
3) The output MOH OUTPUT (music on hold) is able to provide, for example, music on hold for a telephone system. The mixed signal is also available at this output. The control MASTER will not have any effect on the volume.

3.3 Power supply

For power supply, either connect the jack "230V\~" to a mains socket (230V/50Hz) using the mains cable provided or, for mobile applications for example, connect the terminals "24V==" to a 24V DC voltage source.

4 Operation

1) Before first-time operation, make sure that the initial volume is not too high: Set the control MASTER for the total volume approximately to the position "9 o'clock". Then switch on the amplifier with the switch POWER. The green power LED ON will light up.
2) Use the controls CH1-5 and TEL to mix the signals of the audio sources or to fade them in or out. Set the controls of the inputs which are not used to "0".
3) Adjust the total volume with the control MASTER. The LEDs “-30, -10, 0dB, CLIP” will indicate the output level. To prevent distortions, only turn up the control MASTER to such a level that the red LED “CLIP” will not light up.
4) Use the controls BASS and TREBLE to adjust the sound.
5) If the LED "PROT" lights up, the amplifier is overheated or overloaded or has a short circuit at one of the speaker outputs. In this case, switch off the amplifier and have the fault eliminated.

When a storage medium is inserted in the music module, the replay will automatically start after the amplifier has been switched on. When two storage media are used, the memory card will take precedence. When no storage medium is inserted, the operating mode most recently used (Bluetooth receiver, digital radio, FM radio) will be resumed (chapter 4.2).

4.1 Infrared remote control

Power supply of the remote control for the music module is provided by means of a 3V button cell. If the remote control is supplied with the battery inserted, remove the protective film (to protect the battery against discharge) from the battery support: The remote control will then be ready for operation. When pressing a button on the remote control, always point the remote control at the IR sensor above the USB port.

Make sure that there are no obstacles between the IR sensor and the remote control.

If the remote control is not used for a longer period of time, remove the battery as a precaution. It may leak and damage the remote control.

4.1.1 Replacing the battery

1) Push the latch of the battery holder to the right (first arrow in the figure below) and remove the holder (second arrow).

2) Remove the old battery and insert the new battery (3V button cell, type CR 2025) into the holder with the positive pole facing upwards.
3) Push the holder back into the remote control.
