Amplifier : ACTION-S118A ACTION-S218A

ON/OFF

A sound system should be switched on sequentially. Switch on the self-powered units last in your sound system (switch on the subwoofer before the mid-high system). Switch on the sound sources such as CD players or turntables, then the mixer, then the processors, and finally the self-powered unit. If you have several units, it is recommended that you switch them on sequentially one at a time.

Follow the inverse order when switching off, turning self-powered units off before any other element in the sound system.

Disconnect the device by removing the mains connector from the mains socket. The mains connector and mains socket must always be freely accessible and never covered or blocked in any way. The mains cable can be detached from the device by disconnecting the standard IEC-60320 connector (only ACTION-S18A). Always disconnect the device by removing the mains connector from the mains socket before detaching the mains cable at the standard IEC-60320 connector (only ACTION-S18A).

The rest of models use a power cable equipped with a Neutrik PowerCon NC3FCA connector. Power can be daisy chained via the NC3FCB output connector (see details on product label).

IMPORTANT: Do not disconnect the unit while in use.

Ensure that the device is disconnected from the mains by observing that the ON LED is turned off. Please note that the ON LED can stay on for several seconds after the mains power has been disconnected.

Overload indicator

This device has an indicator (LIMIT LED) that lights when the signal is excessive.

The indicator should not be lit continuously. This distorts the signal (quickly fatiguing your ears) and may damage the speakers. Therefore, it is recommended that you never work with this LED on; at most it should blink only occasionally.

Equalisation

The unit does not need extreme settings of equalisation to produce quality sound. Avoid high levels of gain on the equalisers. Gain values above +3 dB on a console's EQ are not recommended.

Overheating

This equipment does not normally overheat during normal conditions of use. When overheating occurs, the unit protects itself. You should then find out why and if necessary contact an authorised dealer for technical assistance.

Normally it is enough just to let the unit cool down after you have corrected the problem so that the system functions properly again.

ACTION-S118A and ACTION-S218A amplifiers are equipped with fan and heatsink to maintain the correct operating temperature.

Keep grilles clean and dust-free.

Do not block or obstruct in any way the air entrance or exit while the equipment is in use.

Air circulates from the bottom to the top of the amplifier.

Low mains voltage

If mains voltage falls below the shutdown voltage for the unit, it will stop playing. When acceptable levels are regained, the unit will switch back on automatically.

Therefore the current consumed by a 115V version is double the 230V version to achieve the same acoustic power level.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM	CAUSE	SOLUTION
No sound from the unit. The SIGNAL LED does not light up.	1 - The signal source is sending no signal.2 - Defective cable.3 - The amplifier has overheated.	1 - Check that the mixer or sound source is sending signal to the UNIT.2 - Check that the cable from the sound source to the UNIT is connected correctly. Replace the cable if defective.3 - Allow the unit to cool down for some minutes and it will function again. Check the main output level of the mixer or channel gains since the unit will have been functioning with excessive levels.
Full power cannot be obtained. The LIMIT LED never lights up.	The signal source does not have a hot enough output.	If using a mixer, use the balanced ou tpu t i f a va il ab le . U se professional mixer with a hotter output.
Sound is distorted. The LIMIT LED is not on, or only lights up occasionally.	The mixer or signal source is distorting.	Turn mixer channel gains down. Check that none of your signal sources are distorting.
Sound is distorted and very low and LIMIT LED lights up.	The system is overloaded and has reached maximum power.	Turn down the mixer's output.
Hum or buzz when a mixer is connected to the unit.	1.- The console probably has un- balanced outputs. You may be using an incorrect un-balanced to balanced cable.2.- The mixer and the powered speaker are not plugged into the same mains outlet.3.- The audio signal cable is too long or too close to an AC cable	1.- Read the appendix of this manual to make a correct un- balanced to balanced cable.2.- Connect the mixer and the unit to the same mains outlet.3.- Use a cable that is as short as possible and/or move the audio signal cable away from mains cables.
Hum or buzz when using lightir controls in the same building.	1.- The audio signal cable is too long or too close to the lighting cable.2.- On a sound system with three- phase AC, the lighting equipment and the UNIT are connected to the same phase.	1.- Move the audio signal cable away from lighting cables. Try to find out at what point the noise is leaking into the system.2.- Connect the sound system to a different phase than the lights. You may need the help of an electrician.
The ON LED does not light up when the mains connector is connected and the unit is switched to ON.	1.- Bad or loose AC connection to the UNIT or the mains outlet.2 - Faulty AC cable.3 - Blown Fuse.4 - The mains voltage is out range.	1.- Check your connections.2.- Check the cables, connectors and AC power with a suitable mains tester.3.- Replace the blown fuse for another of the same type and size.4.- If the multimeter determines that the mains voltage is out the range, you may need the assistance of an electrician to find an appropriate solution.

DISPLAY (except ACTION-S18A, ACTION-S118A & ACTION-S218A)

By default the state of the screen is the following:

0 dB —— 0.0mH live off /

Once the input source (s) have been connected to the amplifier's cabinet, the user has to adjust the levels.

For the two input channels (1 and 2), two independent gain controls are available. Be careful when setting the input volume and do not exceed the maximum level shown on the meters: (input clip shown on channel one)

INPUT CLIP peak meters 0.0m RMS meter Exceeding the limits may cause speaker failure!! live off

After having set the input volume values under the maximum level, user has to adjust output volume with the master control. The level is shown in the right meter of the screen. As with the inputs be careful not exceeding the limit: (LIMIT shown)

Notes:

The only models in this series that do not have a display are: ACTION-S118A and ACTION-S218A.

In the model ACTION-M512A the preset activated by default is "Monitor" while in the other models it is "Live". While your preset is "Monitor" the display will turn off completely during use.

Warnings

This manual contains needed information for flying DAS Audio line array systems, description of the elements and safety precautions. To perform any operations related to flying the system, read the present document first, and act on the warnings and advice given. The goal is to allow the user to become familiar with the mechanical elements required to fly the acoustic system, as well as the safety measures to be taken during set-up and teardown.

Only experienced installers with adequate knowledge of the equipment and local safety regulations should fly speaker boxes. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the systems to be flown (including flying accessories) comply with state and local regulations.

The working load limits in this manual are the results of tests by independent laboratories. It is the user's responsibility to stay within safe limits. It is the user's responsibility to follow and comply with safety factors, resistance values, periodical supervisions and warnings given in this manual. Product improvement by means of research and development is on going at DAS. Specifications are subject to change without notice.

It is common practice to apply 5:1 safety factors for enclosures and static elements. For slings and elements exposed to material fatigue due to friction and load variation the following ratios must be met; 5:1 for steel cable slings, 4:1 for steel chain slings and 7:1 polyester slings. Thus, an element with a breaking load limit of 1000 kg may be statically loaded with 200 kg (5:1 safety factor) and dynamically loaded with 142 kg (7:1 safety factor).

When flying a system, the working load must be lower than the resistance of each individual flying point in the enclosure, as well as each box. Hanging hardware should be regularly inspected and suspect units replaced if in doubt. This is important to avoid injury and absolutely no risks should be taken in this respect. It is highly recommended that you implement an inspection and maintenance program on flying elements, including reports to be filled out by the personnel that will carry out the inspections. Local regulations may exist that, in case of accident, may require you to present evidence of inspection reports and corrective actions after defects were found.

Absolutely no risks should be taken with regards to public safety. When flying enclosures from ceiling support structures, extreme care should be taken to assure the load bearing capabilities of the structures so that the installation is absolutely safe. Do not fly enclosures from unsafe structures. Consult a certified professional if needed. All flying accessories that are not supplied by DAS Audio are the user's responsibility. Use at your own risk.

Introduction

Flyable action 500 series models feature 6 internal steel angles, with 2 mounting threads each, so that 12 flying points are available (2 on each side, 3 on the top panel and 3 on the bottom panel and 2 on the rear panel). Eyebolt flying points are factory sealed with M10 screws, which are replaced with eyebolts on the flying points as required. Flying with eyebolts is very economical and safe, and is specially recommended for fixed installations where the boxes are permanently fixed.

The illustration shows the internal metal hardware of an enclosure with eyebolt flying.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical device with hanging chains and a central opening (no text or symbols)

Flying with eyebolts

The Allen-head screws must be removed and replaced by M10 eyebolts on one side of the enclosure. Each rigging point has 200 kg (440 lb) working load limit. Then choose the slings or chains of required load resistance and length, bearing in mind that the length difference between the front and back slings or chains will determine the vertical orientation. Alternatively, the back bottom eyebolt points can be used to provide vertical orientation.

The ANL-2 set is an optional set of four eyebolts and four carabiners. (Dimensions are in millimetres).

DO NOT USE FOR SUSPENSION NO USE PARA EL COLGADO

The following illustrations show different views on eyebolt flying for a single box. The length of the back cables or chains determines the vertical angle of the box.

ANL-2 φ28 35 M10 68 31

Each ANL-2 eyebolt has a rated working load of 200 kg. (440 lb). Each ANL-2 carabiner has a working load of 330 kg (726 lb). If using other hardware, make sure it is rated to handle the required load.

When using eyebolts it is important to bear in mind that the rated working load is only true for a load applied in the plane of the eye, and is significantly reduced for other angles. The drawing illustrates the concept. The table shows the variation of the working load as a function of the load angle. In the case of the ANL-2 eyebolt, this means that the 200 kg working load becomes 60 kg at 45 degrees. Do not use eyebolt flying if the load angle is higher than 45 degrees.

Instructions for AXU (only ACTION-508 and ACTION-512 enclosures)

Introduction

The AXU-ACT8 are designed for ACTION-508 and ACTION-508A enclosures.

The AXU-ACT12 are designed for ACTION-512 and ACTION-512A enclosures.

Safety Precautions

Wall plugs provided are to be used in brick walls only. For other wall materials, source the suitable wall plug before use.

DAS Audio is not responsible for use other than the recommended or whether it be the result of insufficient strength of the support structure. Use only the screws and wall plugs supplied on surfaces that will provide sufficient support. Do not use on surfaces such as plaster, and gypsum. It is highly recommended and in most parts of the world mandatory, that a safety cable be used to secure the enclosure to the structure.

To ensure optimum safety, the installation should be checked thoroughly at regular intervals replacing all deteriorated elements.

Loosen the screws before reorienting the speaker. Never force the rigging elements.

Contact a licensed rigger if there is any doubt.

ANNEX: Line connections: unbalanced and balanced

There are two basic ways to transport an audio signal with microphone or line level:

Unbalanced line: Utilising a two conductor cable, it transports the signal as the voltage between them. Electromagnetic interference can get added to the signal as undesired noise. Connectors that carry unbalanced signals have two pins, such as RCA (Phono) and 14 " (6.35mm, often referred to as jack) mono. 3 pin connector such as XLR (Cannon) may also carry unbalanced signals if one of the pins is unused.

Balanced line: Utilising a three conductor cable, one of them acts as a shield against electromagnetic noise and is the ground conductor. The other two have the same voltage with respect to the ground conductor but with opposite signs. The noise that cannot be rejected by the shield affects both signal conductors in the same way. At the device's input the two signals get summed with opposite sign, so that noise is cancelled out while the programme signal doubles in level. Most professional audio devices use balanced inputs and outputs. Connectors that can carry balanced signal have three pins, such as XLR (Cannon) and 14 " (6.35mm) stereo.

The graphs that follow show the recommended connection with different types of connectors to balanced processor or amplifier inputs. The connectors on the left-hand side come from a signal source, and the ones on the right hand side go to the inputs of the processor or amplifier. Note that on the unbalanced connectors on the left-hand side, two terminals are joined inside the connector. If hum occurs with balanced to balanced connections, try disconnecting the sleeve (ground) on the input connector. Note that the illustrations show what should be connected to what, but that pin locations on an actual XLR connector are different. Also, pin 2 hot is assumed on XLR connectors.
