AANVULLENDE INFORMATIE CPA12-24-36 25

This section briefly describes the possibilities of the CPA12 - 24 - 36 power amplifier.

The CPA12 - 24 - 36 was developed as an easy to use, flexible solution for multifunctional use.

During the development of the CPA-series, the AUDAC-engineers wanted to achieve four goals:

• Delivering a flexible audio solution to control multiple functions
• Offering a user-friendly device
• Guaranteeing an excellent sound quality
• Creating a modern and advanced design

The CPA12 - 24 - 36 was designed for operation on AC Mains or DC 24V evacuations. Its protection circuit protects it against current limiting, over current and overheating. The CPA-series has a built-in high temperature detection, an auto muting function and one line input and one link output with XLR jacks. These amplifiers are equipped with a low impedance (4) and constant voltage (70V, 100V) output with EURO block terminal, a built-in 400Hz high-pass filter and a power output of 120W for the CPA12; 240W for the CPA24 and 360W for the CPA36. They have a frequency range of 40Hz to 16kHz ± 3dB , a low distortion and low noise level and an adjustable input level (from -12dB to 0dB).

The CPA-series can be mounted in a 19 inch rack and can be expanded by adding a power amplifier with LINK terminal.

These power amplifiers can be used in commercial as well as industrial applications such as restaurants, hotels, shop floors, factories, warehouses, professional offices, public buildings, ...

Environment

Do not place this unit in an enclosed environment such as a bookshelf or closet. Ensure that there is adequate ventilation to cool the unit. Do not block the ventilation openings.

Do not place the unit in environments which contain high levels of dust, heat, moisture or vibration.

Do not use the unit near water or other liquids. Make sure no water or other liquids can be spilled, dripped or splashed on the unit.

This unit was developed for indoor use only. Do not use it outdoors.

Do not place objects on top of the unit.

Place the unit on a stable base.

Safety Requirements

Always handle the unit with care.

Only use a grounded socket outlet and a power cord with grounding plug to plug in the unit.

This unit is not a toy. It should not be operated by children.

Do not stick objects through the openings of the CPA12 - 24 - 36.

Do not open the unit (risk for electrical shock).

CAUTION - SERVICING

This unit contains no user serviceable parts. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Do not perform any servicing unless you are qualified to do so.

Getting Started

Before you install the CPA12 - 24 - 36 power amplifier, make sure you disconnect it: if the device is powered-up, you push the power button to switch it off. Turn the level control down (minimal level). When installed, the CPA12 - 24 - 36 can be switched on by pushing the power button on the front panel. The blue Power indication LED will light up if the device is powered-up.

WIRING

Select the input wire and connectors. Pre-built or professionally wired balanced line cables are recommended (22 to 24 gauge).

Connector pin information for wiring

Select the output wire and connectors.

For the output connectors of the amplifier, the use of pre-built or professionally wired, heavy gauged and high-quality speaker wires is recommended. EURO blocks can be used for the output connectors. Wrap or insulate exposed loudspeaker cable connectors to prevent short circuit.

Custom wiring should only be performed by qualified personnel. Class 2 wiring is recommended.

Connections

OUTPUT

Maintain proper polarity on the output connectors.

Output channel: connect the output EURO block terminals to the loudspeaker loads. Use terminals marked < 4> for a 4Ohm loudspeaker load, or use terminals marked 70V or 100V and COM for constant-voltage loudspeaker loads.

Connect the COM terminal to the negative (-) speaker lead; connect one of the other terminals to the positive (+) speaker lead.

Impedance and output voltage are shown below:

CPA12	4Ω/22V	41Ω/70V 83Ω/100V
CPA24	4Ω/31V 21Ω/70V 41Ω/100V
CPA36	4Ω/38V 13.5Ω/70V 27.8Ω/100V

The impedances in the above table represent the total speaker system impedances.

WRONG CONNECTION

The figure below shows a WRONG connection.

Caution: NEVER use both the low-Z (4Ω) and Hi-Z (70V and 100V) terminals at the same time.
