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-803DAP 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/50 Hz) 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.

Use the mounting bracket to screw the speaker to a suitable place on the wall or ceiling. To adjust the speaker, release the locking screws of the bracket, turn the speaker accordingly, then retighten the screws.

4 Installation

WARNING During operation in 100 V systems, there is a hazard of contact with a voltage of up to 100 V at the speaker cable. The installation must be made by skilled personnel only.

Observe the load of the PA amplifier by the speakers. An overload may damage the amplifier! The total power of all speakers connected must not exceed the amplifier power.

1) Before installing the speaker system, switch off the PA amplifier completely so that the speaker cable will not carry any voltage!
2) Use a screwdriver to adjust the desired rated power for 100 V operation at the rotary switch (a) or select the position "8 Ω" for directly operating the speaker at a low-impedance amplifier output. (Set the switch to the left stop, then turn it back for the corresponding number of lock-in positions according to the marking.)

CAUTION! Never use the speaker in a 100 V system when the position "8 Ω" has been selected. The speaker and possibly the amplifier will be damaged.

3) Remove the protecting cap from the terminals (b) and guide the cable through the hole in the protecting cap. Connect the cable to the terminals and replace the protecting cap. When connecting multiple speakers, make sure that all speakers have the same polarity and that the PA amplifier will not be overloaded.
