GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
This manual provides installation,operating, and service information for the Model 1A2250
250 wan Direct Coupled Power Amplifier manufactured by the
Dukane Corporation, St. Charles,
Illinois 60174.
This manual is divided into four sections as follows:
1.
General Information
2. Installation Information
3. Operating Information
4. Service Information
1.2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Dukane Model
lA2250 Direct Coupled Power Amplifier is designed for use in auditoriums,
gymnasiums, and in field applications where professional sound quality is required. Output level is
indicated by a VU light bar. The amplifier is protected from damage which could result from an
over temperature condition in the output stage circuitry. A
foldback circuit is employed to prevent
damage in case of a short circuit developing in the speaker line(s) served by the amplifier.
The amplifier may be operated with either unbalanced or balanced input. An optional input
plug-in transformer allows for balanced operation. The output of the amplifier can be either
unbalanced (direct coupled) or balanced. An optional plug-in transformer allows for balanced
output.

INSTALLATION INFORMATION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
This Section of the manual contains unpacking, mounting, and wiring instructions. The information
is arranged to facilitate an orderly installation.
Installers should have a good understanding of this
information prior to beginning installation of the amplifier.
2.2 UNPACKING
Examine the shipping carton and the amplifier. If there is any damage to the unit, bring it to the
attention of the distributor from whom it was purchased. If this unit wasshipped to you, notify the
transportation company and place your damage claim without
delay. This amplifier was carefully
inspected before it was packed and shipped from the Du kane Corporation.
2.3 EQUIPMENT MOUNTING
The
lA2250 is designed for installation in a standard 19 inch rack or console. Mount the unit in
the designated location using the four mounting screws provided.
2.4 POWER CONNECTIONS
The
lA2250 amplifier receives ac supply input via the #321-42 fuse assembly. This assembly has a
removable jumper card that allows the amplifier to operate on either 120 or 240
Vat. depending on
how the jumper card is installed in the fuse assembly.
Refer to Figure 2-l.
OLE IN CARD
FUSEPULL LEVER
Figure 2-1. AC Supply Input and
Fuse Assembly
To replace fuse
(FlOl), remove the ac plug, slide the plastic cover up to expose the fuse Move the
lever labeled FUSE PULL upward to pop the fuse. lnsart the new fuse, moving the laver downward.
2-l

The voltage selection is visible on the jumper card, either 120 or 240 when the card is inserted into
the fuse assembly.
To change input voltage from 120 Vac to 240 Vac, or vice versa, remove the fuse as explained
above, insert the point of a ball-point pen or pencil into the hole in the card and slide the card out
of the assembly.Turn the card so that the desired voltage shows on the upper left-hand side of the
card. Slide the card back into the assembly. Replace the fuse.
NOTE
Install the correct value of fuse
(F101) as follows:
For 120
Vac operation:
6.25 amperes, 25OV. Slow Blow.
For 240 Vacoparation:3.2 amperes,
25OV. Slow Blow.
2.5 EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS
External connections are made to screw terminal strips
TS1 and TB101 as shown in Figure 2-2.
When the optional output transformer 438-547 is used (balanced output), the jumpers between
terminals 1 and 3 and 2 and 4 on
TS1 must be in place. Plug the transformer into socket Pl. See
Figure 4-l for location of
Pl. When the output transformer is not used (unbalanced operation), the
jumpers are not required.
Make external output connections to terminal strip
TSl. For unbalanced operation, the speakers
connect to terminals 1 and 2. For balanced operation, the speakers connect to terminals
5, 6, or 7,
depending on the output desired, and terminal 8.
TB101 is for the input connections. When the optional
3A230 Input Transformer is not used,
jumpers between terminals 4 and 7 and between terminals 5 and 6 of the octal socket must
be in
place. When the 3A230 is to be used for a balanced input, remove the jumpers and plug the 3A230
into the octal socket. Make external output connections to terminal strip TS1, as required for your
particular application.
