DPA 4120: For 115V AC operation, the mains fuse (11) has to be replaced by a slow blowing 4 ampere type, labeled "T4A" (see also paragraph 11.1). DPA 4140: For 115V AC operation, the mains fuse (11) has to be replaced by a slow blowing 8 ampere type, labeled "T8A" (see also paragraph 11.2). If the appliance is correctly connected and mains is present the green STANDBY indicator (4) will light.

The output is factory-configured for the connection of 100V loudspeaker systems. Connection has to be performed by inserting the supplied 5-pole plug into the power output socket (17). Switching the output voltage to 70V, 50V or to low impedance operation (4 ohms) is possible using the plug-in bridge B411 on the pr

In a few special cases it is also possible to operate the loudspeaker systems with 70V or 50V output voltage (see also paragraph 7). Caution It is possible that during operation shock-hazard output voltages can be present at the POWER OUTPUT connector (>34V peak value). Thus, the connected loudspeak

Note: Functioning changes in the models DPA 4120 (starting with serial numbers: 100 11) and DPA 4140 (starting with serial numbers: 100 11) in association with the input module NRS 90225: To achieve reliable attenuation of switching noise (knacks), the monitor output stays muted as long as the READY-relay is not pulled. Because of circuit design reasons this causes that the monitor output is also muted even when a ground-fault appears at the main output. 8.2 Remote module NRS 90222 This input an

If so, it is necessary to additionally install the extension kit NRS 90227 per each output. The installation has to be performed as follows (see figure 6 and/or figure 7): - to remove th

When off-ground potential loudspeaker cable networks are employed we recommend insulation-monitoring using the ground fault surveillance module NRS 90224. Error recognition: An occurring ground fault either signals that one of the cables is damaged - which most likely point towards a total line interruption in the near future - or that connections have been carried out erroneously which may lead to malfunctioning of the entire system. The fault message GROUND FAULT (6) is also maintained with ve
