2 Safety Notes

This unit corresponds to all relevant directives
of the EU and is therefore marked with
WARNING The unit uses dangerous mains
During operation, there is a hazard of con-
tact with a dangerous voltage up to 100 V
VOLUME
at the speaker terminals (17) . Always switch
off the amplifier before making or changing
any connection .
•
The unit is suitable for indoor use only . Pro-
tect it against dripping water and splash
water, high air humidity and heat (admissi-
ble ambient temperature range: 0 – 40 °C) .
•
Do not place any vessel filled with liquid on
the unit, e . g . a drinking glass .
•
The heat generated inside the unit must be
dissipated by air circulation; never cover the
air vents of the housing .

voltage . Leave servicing to
skilled personnel only and do
not insert anything into the
air vents! Inexpert handling of
the unit may result in electric
shock .
•
Do not operate the unit and immediately
disconnect the mains plug from the socket
1 . if the unit or the mains cable is visibly
damaged,
2 . if a defect might have occurred after the
unit was dropped or suffered a similar
accident,
3 . if malfunctions occur .
In any case the unit must be repaired by
skilled personnel .
•
Never pull the mains cable to disconnect
the mains plug from the socket, always
seize the plug .
•
For cleaning only use a dry, soft cloth; never
use water or chemicals .
•
No guarantee claims for the unit and no
liability for any resulting personal damage
or material damage will be accepted if the
unit is used for other purposes than orig-
inally intended, if it is not correctly con-
nected or operated, or if it is not repaired
in an expert way .
If the unit is to be put out of oper-
ation definitively, take it to a local
recycling plant for a disposal which
is not harmful to the environment .

3 Applications

The amplifier PA-1250D with a 250 W RMS
output power is specially designed for PA
systems . It is equipped with a switch mode
power supply unit and a class D power am-
plifier and provides an efficiency of more
than 90 % . An LC display shows the most
important operating parameters and allows
to make settings via a menu .
4 Setting up the Amplifier
The amplifier is designed for installation into a
rack for units of a width of 482 mm (19") but
can also be used as a tabletop unit . In order
.
to ensure sufficient cooling of the amplifier,
air must always be able to flow freely through
all air vents .

4.1 Rack installation

For rack installation, the amplifier requires
a space of 2 RS (2 rack spaces = 89 mm) . To
prevent the rack from becoming top-heavy,
insert the amplifier into the lower section of
the rack . The mounting brackets are not suffi-
cient for fixing it safely; additionally use lateral
rails or a bottom plate to secure the unit .
The hot air given off by the amplifier
must be dissipated from the rack; otherwise
heat will accumulate in the rack which may
not only damage the amplifier but also other
units in the rack . In case of insufficient heat
dissipation, install a ventilation unit into the
rack (e . g . DPVEN-03) .
