Bosch Security Systems B.V. Installation and Operation manual 2014.01 | V1.1 | LBB193x/x0

Safety
Prior to installing or operating products, always read the Important Safety Instructions which
are available as a separate multilingual document: Important Safety Instructions (Safety_ML).
These instructions are supplied together with all equipment that can be connected to the
mains supply.
Safety precautions
The Power Amplifier designed to be connected to the public distribution network.
– To avoid any risk of electric shock, all interventions must be carried out with
disconnected mains supply.
– The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings.
– Connection of external wiring to this equipment requires installation by qualified
personnel only.
– The operation must only be performed by qualified personnel.
– Use the apparatus in a moderate climate.
!
Caution!
These service instructions are for use by qualified service personnel only.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in
the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.

System Overview
Product range introduction
The Power Amplifier is part of the Plena product range. The Plena product range provides
public address solutions for places where people gather to work, worship, trade, or to relax. It
is a family of system elements that are combined to create public address systems tailored for
virtually any application. The Plena product range includes:
– Mixers
– Pre‑amplifiers
– Power amplifiers
– Music source unit
– Digital message manager
– Feedback suppressor
– Call stations
– "All-In-One" system
– Voice Alarm System
– Timer
– Charger
– Loop amplifier
The various elements are designed to complement each other using matched acoustical,
electrical and mechanical specifications.
All Plena Power Amplifiers in this manual are designed for use in EN54‑16 and EN60849
compliant systems.
Power amplifier range
The Plena Power Amplifier range consists of the following mono amplifiers:
– 120W LBB 1930/20 (2 units high).
– 240W LBB 1935/20 (2 units high).
– 480W LBB 1938/x0 (3 units high).
In this manual all illustrations show either the LBB 1938/x0 power amplifier that is 3 units
high, the LBB 1930/20, LBB 1935/20 power amplifier that is 2 units high. All connections are
similar between the different power amplifiers. These power amplifiers have 70V and 100V
constant voltage outputs and a low impedance output for 4 or 8 Ohm loudspeakers.
Two inputs, "Priority" and "Program", give priority and controlled outputs. A 100V slave input
gives connection to existing loudspeaker lines. The line inputs are balanced and have a
loop‑through facility. The amplifiers have overload and short‑circuit protection. A temperature
controlled fan and overheat protection gives high reliability. Battery operation with automatic
switchover from the mains supply is available.

Installation
The power amplifier is intended for tabletop use, however the unit can also be mounted in a
19” rack. For 19" rack installation; use:
– The 19" rack mounting brackets which come with the product.
– Standard M6 mounting screws: 16 mm thread depth, 20 mm total length.
The power amplifier has an internal fan regulated to keep the temperature inside the unit
within safe operating conditions.

Notice!
If you install the product into a 19” rack:
- Ensure that it does not exceed the overheating temperature (+45°C ambient).
- Make sure that warm air that is expelled from the side and rear can flow away.
- Ensure sufficient ventilation and enough room, about 10cm / 4” behind the unit for cables
and connections.
- Use the included Bosch 19” mounting brackets (LBC 1901/00) x2.
- Remove the tabletop feet from the bottom of the unit.
