HPA amplifiers have fan assist cooling that draws cool air in from the rear of the amp and exhausts the hot air out the front panel.
4. Status Indicators
A. Power - When AC mains power is applied to the amplifier and the AC Mains Power Switch is in the "ON" position this LED will illuminate blue indicating the amplifier is active and ready for use.
B. Standby - The Standby LED is a bi-color LED giving status of the amplifier power supply.
- Illuminated amber - The HPA Amplifier is in Energy Save Mode and is not ready for use. The rear panel remote activation control port has to be triggered by applying 5-24DC Voltage or shorting the Contact Closure (CC) and ground (GND) pins together to activate the amplifier to ready status. Note: The HPA Amp is shipped with a shunt across the CC and GND contacts to activate the amp from Standby Mode. For the amplifier to be active or On, the Remote Turn On jumper must be in place and the amplifier switch must be in the "On" position. If the Standby LED is not illuminated and the front panel blue LED Power On is illuminated, the amplifier is active and ready to use. Refer to Remote Turn On for more information.
- Illuminated red - If the Standby LED is illuminating red, the AC Mains voltage applied to the HPA Amplifier is out of the safe operating range. The HPA Amplifier cannot be turned on until the AC Mains voltage is between 95V\~ - 264V\~. Refer to AC Mains Input for more information. If the Standby LED is not illuminated and the front panel blue LED Power On is iminated, the amplifier is active and ready to use.
C. Temp - This LED represents the temperature condition of the amplifier. This LED will illuminate yellow once the thermal protection level of any of the amplifier channels or the power supply is reached causing the unit to power off. Note: Also refer to the Protect LED.

9. Loudspeaker Connections
The HPA amplifiers ship with a protective plate covering the loudspeaker terminal pins. This is required by safety approval agencies due to the high voltage levels produced. Remove this cover and install the Euro Block type connector to connect loudspeakers to the amplifier. Any connections to the Euro Block type connector are to be made by a qualified electrical technician. Note: Make sure the amplifier is unplugged from the AC mains power source before starting the process because of the potential high voltage electrical risks involved. Discard the cover after it is removed and the loudspeaker terminal is installed. The removable Euro block connector is a 4 position, 7.62mm pitch and is connected to the chassis by 2 incorporated screws. It is recommended to use 12-gauge wire or lower for connection to the loudspeaker. The terminals can accept wire sizes of 6 - 18 gauge Class 2. Properly preparing the wire is critical to ensure a secure connection for safety and audio quality. First strip the wire back 0.250^t (5mm). We do not recommend tinning (soldering the wire). Insert the wire into the terminal block slot and secure by tightening the screws firmly. Failure to do so, could cause shock or damage the amplifier.

The accessory card slot is for optional input cards such as the HPA-DAC2 (2 Channel Digital Audio Input Card). Contact AtlasIED for a full list of accessory cards. Note: Accessory card installation must be done by a qualified technician.
11. Air Inlet and Filters
The rear air inlet has a removable filter grill that is connected to the mains chassis via magnets. Filters are to remain clean at all times to assure proper air flow for amplifier cooling.

Telephone: 800.876.3333 • Fax: 800.765.3435
Placement of the Amp
Turn off all equipment before making connections. Install the amplifier in a standard-width 19" rack. It can be mounted above or below anything that does not generate excessive heat. Although the unit's chassis is shielded against radio frequency and electromagnetic interference, extremely high fields of RF and EMI should be avoided.
Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with proper ventilation. For example, the HPA amplifier should not be situated in a sealed cabinet or on a shelf with obstacles on it that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings. It is recommended that it be rack mounted into an equipment rack.
Heat - The HPA amplifier should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce excessive heat. Ambient temperatures should not exceed 95^ (35°C) when equipment is in use.
Cabling
The HPA amplifier can be used with either balanced or unbalanced sources, and the outputs can be used with either balanced or unbalanced loads, provided the proper cabling is used. A balanced line is defined as two-conductor shielded cable with the two center conductors carrying the same signal but of opposite polarity when referenced to ground.
An unbalanced line is generally a single-conductor shielded cable with the center conductor carrying the signal and the shield at ground potential.
Balanced Input - AtlasLED recommends using either 20 or 22-gauge two-conductor wire with shield for low level signals. Maintain the proper polarity, + to +, - to - and shield to ground. Note: The ground center pin of the Phoenix connector is common for both channels.
Loudspeaker Outputs - Use 2 conductor unshielded wire of the appropriate gauge. Contact AtlasLED technical support at 1-800-876-3333 with questions regarding wire gauge. The number of loudspeakers connected and their tap settings will be required for technical support to properly recommend wire.
Why choose 230V over 120V?
It is a good idea to provide an AC Mains voltage of 208-240v with a product that requires high amount of AC Mains current. This configuration has advantages over a supply voltage of 120V. Ohm's law states that when voltage is high the current is lower. An amplifier that requires 30A of current at 120V only requires 15A of current at 230V.
One major advantage is the cost savings in the wire required to provide the current from the electrical panel to the receptacle. The minimum wire gauge needed to deliver 30A is 10AWG. For longer distances of 50ft - 150ft, 8AWG should be used. For 230V, only 15A is required and the wire gauge needed for that is only 14AWG. The cost between 14AWG & 8AWG is significant. Both methods only need 3 conductor. 208V - 240V in the USA requires a dual breaker. The cost of a dual breaker is similar in cost to a 120V 30A breaker.
The second advantage is with less current draw or demand there is less voltage sag in the AC Mains line. With less AC Mains voltage sag the amplifier will be able to produce more dynamic audio power when required.
Either 120V or 230V will work equally well, but keep in mind for a 120V service, using the proper wire gauge is very important to get the maximum performance out of the amplifier.
Connecting the HPA Amplifier to AC Mains
Do Not Do!
- Never plug an amplifier into a circuit without knowing what other products are connected to the same circuit.
- Never plug an HPA602 or HPA1302 into a power strip. Always connect directly to a dedicated circuit wall receptacle. Power strips are not designed to deliver high amounts of continuous or peak current.
- Never plug a high power amplifier into an extension cord.
Best Practices
- Each high power amplifier should have its own dedicated AC Mains line.
- Consider using a 208V-240V AC mains power source.
HPA (HIGH POWER AMPS) REQUIRE SPECIAL ATTENTION TO AC POWER
Know the type of outlet you are going to use and never use an adapter!

The HPA amplifier series allows for an optional HPA-DAC2 2-Channel Dante™ receiver card to be installed into the HPA amplifier. Contact AtlasLED for a list of accessory cards. Note: Accessory card installation must be done by a qualified technician.
- Remove the HPA amplifier from the AC mains source.
- Remove the two screws (M3 x 8mm Pan Head Black) holding the HPA accessory blank panel. Be careful and do not lose the screws.
- Remove the ribbon cable from the cover plate PCB connector.
- Connect the accessory card to the ribbon cable by carefully aligning the ribbon cable connector to the mating PCB connector. If aligned correctly the cable will mate easily.
- Carefully guide the accessory card into the slot without forcing the PCB or cable.
- After the card is inserted and the accessory panel is flush to the chassis, align the two screw holes and secure them together by using the M3 x 8mm screws.
