Aenon!
For your own safety, read all instruc-
ons and informaon in this manual
carefully before inial operaon.
Keep this manual for future refe-
rence.
All informaon and instrucons in
this manual must be observed com-
pletely and in detail. The manufac-
tuer is not responsible for any direct
or consequenal damage that results
from disregarding any informaon in
this manual.
Remove mains power cord if the unit
is not used for a prolonged me.
Be sure to install the device only on
places with a good venlaon and
without humidity or high tempera-
tures
Danger!
The interior and the connectors of
the amplier holds hazardous volta-
ges.
The unit must only be installed and
serviced by a proven electrican spe-
cialist, in accordance of all relevant
regulaons, safety and accident pre-
venon direcves of the country.
To prevent electric shock, use only
mains sockets with hidden, touch-
proof contacts.
Make sure to use the correct supply
voltage, before operang the unit.
During operaon is a dangerous
high voltage present at the speaker
connecons. Disconnect the mains
power supply prior to connecon or
disassembly. If the loudspeaker out-
put is not in use make sure to cover
the connectors with the included
plasc housing.
An apparatus with CLASS I construc-
on shall be connected to a MAINS
socket outlet with L,N and an protec-
ve earthing connecon.
Install the device only on places with
a good venlaon and without humi-
dity or high temperatures.
Do not open the amplier. Otherwise
you will risk a damage and void the
warranty.
The unit should be serviced by
qualied personnel when the unit:
• objects have fallen or liquid has
been spilled into the unit
• does not appear to operate
normally
• has been dropped or has a
broken housing
Do not operate the system in a
humid enviroment. Do Not expose
the unit to rain or snow.
Do not operate the unit near heat
sources, e.g. radiators.
Safety instructions

Safety instructions
Always run the mains power cord in
a way that it cannot be pinched by
objects and that nobody can stum-
ble over it. Avoid sharp bends or
excessive tension on the mains cord,
parcularly at the cable exits.
Never pull at the cable or the plug to
diconnect the Unit from mains.
For cleaning only use a dry, so
cloth, by no means liquids.
Touch proof installaon
The unit must only be installed in a
closed 19-inch rack and has to be
mounted with four rack screws.
To ensure not to touch with bare
hands at the connectors the instal-
laon in a closed housing is necces-
sary.
Waste disposal
In accordance with European Direc-
ve 2002/96/EC (it`s) not longer usa-
ble electronic devices and defecve
or used baeries (European Direcve
2006/66EG)
must collected separately and dis-
posed by an environmentally sound
recycling.
This symbol indicates that electrical
and electronic equipment must be
disposed of separately from normal
waste at the end of its operaonal
lifeme.
Should these product are no longer
be useable, the user is required by
law to dispose of old appliances se-
parately from their household waste
e. g. at a local authority collecon
point or recycling center.

The Monitoring-Contacts are opto-couplers with a max load of 24V 10mA.
Keep aenon for the correct polarity.
All controls are normal closed by meaning ok.

6installation
Install the unit proper in a 19-inch rack with four rack screws.
Make sure to have enough space for air circulaon.
Connect the NF-inputs and outputs with the according plug connectors.
The input can be used symmetrical or unsymmetrical.
Important is, to check the right connecon of the ground (shield) and signal.
Apply all the connectors as well as loudspeakers and monitoring contact.
At least connect the IEC plug - power supply 230V AC
Check all wiring and fasten them to the rack housing.
Aer turn-on of the amplifer, the Power LED glows.

Auto-ON:
Opon 1:
Amplier channels 1-4 can turned-ON when a
audio NF signal is present at the inputs.
Each channel use the own Input.
Input signal sensivity can be adjusted with
the SENS-control (4). Sensivity 7-300mV
Opon 2:
If the SENS-control-encoder is turned to the right posion, the amplier is
always ON.
Opon 3:
If the SENS-control-encoder is turned to the le posion, the Auto-ON
funcon is OFF and the amplier can only be acvated with remote.
Audio-Channel-Remote (CH 1-4 ON)
Channels 1-4 can remotely turned-ON and OFF with an external DC-Power.
Turn the SENS-control-encoder to the le posion.
Connect a 12-24 V DC-Power to the CH1-4 ON contact
at plug (6) to remote-ON the Inputs 1-4.
As long as the DC-Power is present, the Inputs 1-4 are ON.
Bridged-mode-Remote (B 1-4 ON)
Use the B1-4 ON contact on plug (6) for remote-ON the
Bridge mode channels IN 1/2 B and IN 3/4 B.
Connect a 12-24 DC-Power to the B1-4 ON contact at plug (6)
to remote-ON all bridge channels B 1/2 and B 3/4.
Once the Input B is acve all Inputs IN1, IN2, IN3 and IN4
are deacvated. The SENS-control has no inuence to B 1-4 ON.
As long as the DC-Power is present, the Inputs B are ON.

Power-Delay-Link:
Use the RJ45 sockets for a

with a delay to protect the mains.
Link the ampliers with RJ45 Patch cable.
Once a Power-ON request starts, the
ampliers start-up one aer the other,
approx. 2 seconds per device.
Important:
For the rst amp use the RJ45 - 2 =OUT,
to the next amp RJ45 - 1 = IN.
