Assembly hints
1. Assembly (Skipping this can lead to troubles ! )
Ok, so we have your attention. These hints will help you to make this project successful. Read them carefully.
1.1 Make sure you have the right tools:
• A good quality soldering iron (25-40W) with a small tip.
• Wipe it oftenon a wet sponge or cloth, to keep it clean; then apply solderto the tip, to give it a wet look. This is called ‘thinning’and will
protect the tip,and enables youto make goodconnections. When solderrollsoff the tip,it needs cleaning.
• Thin raisin-core solder. Do not use any flux or grease.
• A diagonal cutter to trim excess wires. To avoid injury when cutting excess leads, hold the lead so they
cannot fly towards the eyes.
• Needle nose pliers, for bending leads, or to hold components in place.
• Small blade and Phillips screwdrivers. A basic range is fine.
For some projects, a basic multi-meter is required, or might be handy
1.2 Assembly Hints :
⇒ Make sure the skill level matches your experience, to avoid disappointments.
⇒ Follow the instructions carefully. Read and understand the entire step before you perform each operation.
⇒ Perform the assembly in the correct order as stated in this manual
⇒ Position all parts on the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) as shown on the drawings.
⇒ Values on the circuit diagram are subject to changes.
⇒ Values in this assembly guide are correct*
⇒ Use the check-boxes to mark your progress.
⇒ Please read the included information on safety and customer service
* Typographical inaccuracies excluded. Always look for possible last minute manual updates, indicated as ‘NOTE’on a separate leaflet.

If the amplifier to which the module
is to be connected has a simple
power supply (asymmetrical
supply), i.e. an amplifier with output-
elcos, the following resistances has
to be mounted:
 R23 : 1K2 (1 - 2 - 2 - B)
 R24 : 1K2 (1 - 2 - 2 - B)
 R25 : 1K2 (1 - 2 - 2 - B)
 R26 : 1K2 (1 - 2 - 2 - B)
 ATTENTION: if the involved
amplifier has a symmetrical
power supply, those
resistances may NOT be
mounted!

Testing
Connect a net-cord to the MAINS, connect the module to the net and check if after approx.+/-6 sec. the
yellow LED 'WAIT' extinguishes; at the very same moment the LED is extinguishing, one should hear the
clack of the relais switching.
Testing the Left channel :
 Connect the point PA of the left channel to the point -V (figure 1.0); the red LED 'ERROR' should now be
lightening together with the yellow LED 'WAIT'.
 When the connection is interrupted again (figure 2.0), the red LED should extinguish and after approx. +/-
6 sec. the yellow LED as well.
Repeat this testing procedure by connecting the point PA to the point +V.

Testing the right channel :
 Connect the point PA of the right channel to the point -V (figure 3.0); the red LED 'ERROR' should now be
lightening together with the yellow LED 'WAIT'.
 When the connection is interrupted again (figure 4.0), the red LED should extinguish and after approx. +/-
6 sec. the yellow LED as well.
Repeat this testing procedure by connecting the point PA to the point +V.
 The module is now ready for being connected definitively to the amplifier.

First find a proper place to install the protection module (f.i. against the back-side of the housing).
Realise the following connections:
MAINS: this connection has to be linked to the NET-connection of the transformer in the amplifier, i.e.
AFTER the net-switch!
PA: connect this point to the speaker-output of the amplifier, respectively for the left and the right signal (fig
5.0). In case a bridge-amplifier (fig 6.0) is being used, there ought to be two "hot" connections here.
MASS: this point has to be connected to the mass of the amplifier.
LS: to this point the left resp. right loud speaker is to be connected.
To disconnect the loudspeakers manually, realise the following connections:
Install a switch between the points -V and MAN; when the switch is shut the speakers will be disconnected
permanently, when opening the switch again after approx.+/-6 sec the speakers will be reconnected as well.
REMARK. In case of amplifiers with asymmetrical power supply (i.e. having output-elcos and the resistances
R23 to R26) of more than 300W/4 Ohm or 150W/8 Ohm, it is not recommandable to disconnect the
speakers at full power during a longer period, because the just mentioned resistances could burn. In case
the protection module is being used on a bridge-amplifier with asymmetrical power supply, the diodes D7
and D8 should not be mounted; in this case the DC-protection should not be functioning anymore because
the voltage-reference of the protection-module is now opposed to the mass.
