POWER

A

1.RACK MOUNTING EARS

These mounting holes are provided on each front mounting ear.

2.3-POSITION AC POWER SWITCH

A 3-position switch is on the front panel. Sequential remote turn-on capability is a standard feature. With the switch pushed towards the outside position, the amplifier is ON. The middle position is OFF, and the inside position is marked STANDBY. When switched to STANDBY, the amplifier may be activated by the sequential turn-on circuit. See the section on SEQUENTIAL TURN-ON / TURN-OFF for more information.

3.POWER LED

The POWER LED illuminates when the amplifier is turned on.

4.SIGNAL LED

Each channel has a SIGNAL LED that illuminates when the amplifier output exceeds 1 volt.

5.CLIP LED

Each channel has a CLIP LED that illuminates at the clipping point, and indicates that internal circuitry is reducing amplifier gain to allow full power. See the section on PROTECTION FEATURES for more information.

6.LFC??? LED

Each channel has a LFC (Load Fault Correction) LED. This LED illuminates when the amplifier channel detects an abnormal load condition. Internal circuitry will instantaneously reduce the channel gain to allow the amplifier to operate at a safe level into the abnormal load. See the section on PROTECTION FEATURES for more information.

7.PROTECT LED

If the amplifier has just been turned on or has detected a fault condition, the speaker output relays will open, illuminating this LED.

BACK PANEL FEATURES

8.INPUT SECTION

The ICA??? Series comes standard with plugable input connectors and individual channel rotary attenuators. Connections at the input connector permit the audio signal ground to be connected or lifted from the chassis ground.

9.OUTPUT BARRIER STRIP

A barrier strip is provided for connection of loudspeakers with bare wire or spade lug connectors. This barrier strip can accommodate up to two 10-gauge wires per terminal.

10.IEC POWER CONNECTOR

A standard IEC power connector is located at the upper left corner of the amplifier rear panel.

An AC mains cord having an appropriate AC plug for the intended operating voltage is included.

NOTE: FOR UK ONLY

If the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this unit do not correspond with the colored markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: (1) The wire that is colored green and yellow must be connected to the terminal that is marked by the letter E, the earth symbol, colored green, or colored green and yellow. (2) The wire that is colored blue must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter N or the color black. (3). The wire that is colored brown must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter L or the color red.

11.CIRCUIT BREAKER

A resettable, protective AC circuit breaker is located at the upper left of the amplifier back

panel. If the breaker has tripped, push it back in to return the amplifier to operating condition. If the breaker continues to trip, the amplifier needs servicing. Do not continue to reset the breaker because severe internal damage and safety hazards could occur!

12.SEQUENTIAL TURN-ON CONNECTOR

The ICA??? Series comes standard with remote-controllable sequential turn on enabled by setting the front power switch to STANDBY. The amplifier is activated by applying a voltage between 12 to 24 volts DC to the rear-mounted, 4-pin plugable terminal, and connecting the ENABLE terminal to the 24 V DC+ terminal. When no voltage is present or the ENABLE connection is opened, the amplifier will switch off. Other ICA Series amplifiers can be ???daisy chained??? by connecting all 24 V DC+ terminals together, all COMMON terminals together, and

6

connecting the ENABLE OUT to the ENABLE IN of the next amplifier. A mating connector is shipped with the amplifier.

13.FAN GRILL

A continuously variable-speed DC fan supplies cool air into the amplifier. Do not block this

intake! The fan operates only when the amplifier heat sinks require cooling.

OPERATION

AC MAINS CIRCUIT SIZE REQUIREMENTS

Power requirements for ICA??? amplifiers are rated at ???idle???, 1/8 power (???typical??? music conditions), 1/3 power, and maximum rated power. The maximum power current draw rating

is limited by the amplifier???s circuit breaker. Consult the specification sheet for the current that each amplifier will demand. AC mains voltage must be the same as that indicated on the back of the amplifier. Damage caused by connecting the amplifier to improper AC voltage is not covered by any warranty. NOTE: Always turn off and disconnect the amplifier from the mains voltage before making audio connections. As an extra precaution, have the input attenuators turned down during initial power up.

COOLING REQUIREMENTS

ICA Series amplifiers use a forced-air cooling system to maintain a low, even operating temperature. Cooling air is drawn by a continuously variable-speed fan mounted on the back

panel, and exhausts through slots on the front panel. The fan will remain inactive until internal operating temperature rises above 45?? C (113?? F). Make sure there is enough space around the back of the amplifier to allow air to enter. NOTE: If the amplifier is rack mounted, do not use doors or covers on the front or back without pressurizing the back of the rack. Whatever type of rack you are using, make sure that heated air can escape freely, and that there is no resistance to the intake of cool air through the back grill. Intake and exhaust air must flow without resistance.

HIBERNATION???

All ICA Series amps feature Hibernation circuitry. Current draw and thermal emissions are at a minimum when the absence of input signal is sensed for more than a minute. Once signal is present, Hibernation instantly restores the amplifier to normal. Current draw specifications while Hibernation is active are included in specifications under Idle Current Draw.

THERMAL EMISSIONS

The system installer or designer should specify system cooling needs. Refer to the specifications at the back of this manual for specific thermal emissions figures.

INPUT CONNECTIONS

The input connector accepts balanced and unbalanced audio signals. For use with an unbalanced source, tie the inverting (-) input to ground by installing a jumper to the signal ground connection. If the inverting input is left floating, a 6 dB loss in gain will result.

7

SIGNAL MODE CONFIGURATION

ICA??? Series amplifiers are configured for Stereo (2-channel), Bridged Mode, or Parallel Mode operation at the input connector.

To send the same signal to both channels (Parallel Mode), connect the input signal to CHANNEL A via the input connector. Run jumpers from the positive and negative terminals of the CHANNEL A input connector to the respective terminals of CHANNEL B. Both channels then share the CHANNEL A input signal but will operate independently. Speakers are connected as in Stereo Mode.

Bridged Mode converts the amplifier into a single-channel unit with a power rating equal to the sum of both channel power ratings, and at a load rating twice that of the single-channel rating. In Bridged Mode, the channels operate at opposite polarity of each other so that one channel ???pushes??? and the other ???pulls??? equally. Signal is connected to the input connector with one jumper connecting the positive (+) terminal of Input A to the negative (-) terminal of Input B, and another jumper connecting the negative (-) terminal of Input A to the positive (+) terminal of Input B. Both channel attenuators (A & B) are used to control signal level, and both must be at the same level, preferably at 0 dB attenuation. The speakers are connected only to the designated ???+??? output terminals. NEVER ground either side of the speaker cable when the amplifier is in Bridged Mode as both sides are ???hot???. If an output patch panel is used, all connections must be isolated from each other and from the panel. For ICA Series amplifiers, the minimum nominal load impedance in Bridged Mode is 8 ohms; this is the equivalent of driving both channels at 4 ohms. Driving loads of less than 8 ohms may activate the LFC circuit and may also cause a thermal protect condition. NOTE: Regardless of operating mode, NEVER connect amplifier outputs together!

PARALLEL MODE DIAGRAM

BRIDGED MODE DIAGRAM

SPEAKER OUTPUT CONNECTIONS

Speakers are connected using the output barrier strip connectors. Spade lugs, ring tongues or bare wire may be connected to the output barrier strip elements. The barrier strip can accommodate up to two 10-guage wires per terminal. Make sure the amplifier is turned off before you change any output connections or jumpers. Consult the Wire Gauge Chart at the back of this manual to find a suitable wire gauge to minimize losses of power in the speaker cables. Also, make sure that the load impedance is not lower than that rated for the amplifier.

SIGNAL GROUND CONNECTION

Connections at the input connector permit the audio signal ground to be connected or lifted from the chassis ground. When possible, the shield of the signal source connecting cable should connect to the chassis ground. In some cases, however, particularly if an amplifier is being installed in an existing system, this may result in a ground loop. If this happens, connect the shield to the signal ground only. The chassis ground also connects to the AC ground internally. If the cable shield is connected to the signal ground only, it will be clamped to +/- 0.6 V above or below chassis/AC ground.

PROTECTION FEATURES

The ICA??? Series incorporates protection features derived from Peavey???s extensive experience with reliability. The amplifiers are ruggedly built from high-quality components and feature comprehensive protection circuits to protect your amplifier from those ???real world??? occurrences.

CLIP LIMITING

At the amplifier???s full power, or clipping point, the channel gain will automatically be reduced, guarding the loudspeakers against damaging high power and continuous square waves that would otherwise be produced. This is indicated by illumination of the CLIP LED. Normal program transients will not trigger Clip Limiting, only steady or excessive clipping will. Operation is virtually transparent in use and full signal bandwidth is maintained.

LOAD FAULT CORRECTION???

LFC is an innovative circuit that will instantaneously reduce channel gain to allow the amplifier to operate at a safe level into an abnormal load. LFC activation is indicated by illumination of the LFC LED. Moderate activation of LFC is inaudible in normal use. In addition, if extreme low impedance or a short circuit is encountered during high signal level conditions, the amplifier???s output relay will open.

9

FADE-IN PROTECTION

This feature operates every time the amplifier is turned on, or after a protect condition. During turn on, the amplifier goes into protect mode and leaves the speaker load disconnected until the amplifier determines that the operating status is normal. The Fade-In circuit attenuates the signal during the initial turn on or protect operation. After relay release, channel gain gradually increases to the attenuator setting to avoid unnecessary stress on the loudspeakers.

THERMAL PROTECTION

If the heatsink or power transformer reaches an abnormally high temperature, the amplifier will protect itself by disconnecting the speaker load until the amplifier returns to a normal temperature. During this time, the PROTECT LED will illuminate, and the cooling fan will operate at maximum speed.

SHORT CIRCUIT

If an output is shorted, the LFC???, speaker relay and thermal circuits will automatically protect the amplifier. The LFC circuit senses the short circuit as an abnormal load condition and reduces the channel gain to a safe level for the load. In extreme or severe conditions, the speaker relays will disconnect the load and initiate a power-on start-up sequence.

DC VOLTAGE PROTECTION

If an amplifier channel detects DC voltage or subsonic signals at its output terminals, the speaker relay will immediately open to prevent loudspeaker damage. The PROTECT LED will illuminate as notification of this condition.

SEQUENTIAL TURN-ON / TURN-OFF

The ICA??? Series comes standard with remote sequential turn-on. The amplifier front power switch is set to STANDBY. An external direct plug-in power supply unit providing a nominal voltage between 12 to 24 volts DC must be applied to the 4-pin plugable terminal on the rear panel. The ENABLE OUT is connected to the ENABLE IN of the next amplifier. ICA Series amplifiers are bussed or ???daisy chained??? together in parallel and connected to the DC supply by connecting all 24 V DC+ terminals together and all COMMON terminals together. The first amplifier in the chain requires an SPST closure between its 24 V DC+ terminal and ENABLE OUT terminal to initiate the power turn- on sequence and keep the amplifiers in the chain powered on.

1.INSTALADOR PARA RACK

Estos agujeros se proporcionan en todas las unidades para su instalaci??n.

2.INTERRUPTOR DE PODER (AC POWER) DE TRES POSICIONES

Un interruptor de poder de tres posiciones se encuentra en el panel frontal. La capacidad de encender secuencialmente de forma remota es est??ndar. Con el interruptor presionado hacia la posici??n de afuera, el amplificador est?? encendido. La posici??n del medio es apagado y la posici??n adentro es STANDBY. Cuando se selecciona STANDBY el amplificador puede ser activado por circuitos de encendido secuenciales. Vea la secci??n Encendido/Apagado secuencial para m??s informaci??n.

3.LED DE PODER

El LED de poder se enciende cuando el amplificador est?? encendido.

4.LED DE SE??AL

Cada canal cuenta con un LED de se??al que se ilumina cuando el amplificador excede 1 voltio.

5.LED DE CLIP

Cada canal cuenta con un LED de clip que se ilumina en el punto de saturaci??n, e indica que los circuitos internos est??n reduciendo la ganancia del amplificador para permitir el uso de todo el poder. Vea la secci??n sobre Protecci??n para m??s informaci??n.

6.LFC??? LED

Cada canal cuenta con un LED de LFC (Correcci??n de Carga Fallida, por sus siglas en Ingl??s). Este LED se enciende cuando el canal del amplificador detecta una carga de condiciones anormales. Los circuitos internos instant??neamente reducen la ganancia del canal para permitir que el amplificador opere a un nivel seguro a pesar de la carga anormal. Vea la secci??n sobre Protecci??n para m??s informaci??n.

7.LED DE PROTECCI??N

Si el amplificador acaba de ser encendido o ha detectado una condici??n fallida, los relays de salida se abrir??n, iluminando este LED.

CARACTER??STICAS DEL PANEL TRASERO

8.SECCI??N DE ENTRADA

La serie ICA cuenta con conectores de entrada y atenuadores rotativos individuales para cada canal como equipamiento est??ndar. Las conexiones en los conectores de entrada permiten que la tierra de la se??al de audio sea conectada o levantada de la tierra del chasis.

9.CONECTORES DE SALIDA DE PARA CABLES

Se ha proporcionado una secci??n a la que se pueden conectar cables pelados para bocinas. Estas secciones pueden alimentar hasta 2 cables de medida 10 por conector.

10.Conector de Poder IEC

Un conector de poder IEC est??ndar est?? localizado en la parte superior izquierda del panel trasero del amplificador. Se incluye un cable de CA que cuenta con la capacidad de voltaje requerida para operar la unidad.

11.Fusible

Hay un fusible protector de CA que est?? localizado en la parte superior izquierda del panel trasero del amplificador. Si el fusible salta, presi??nelo a su posici??n inicial para regresar el amplificador a modo de operaci??n normal. Si el fusible sigue saltando, el amplificador necesita servicio. No contin??e presionando el fusible, ya que esto puede resultar en serios da??os internos adem??s de crear situaciones peligrosas.

12.Interruptor de Encendido Secuencial

La serie ICA??? viene equipada con encendido secuencial de control remoto activado al seleccionar la posici??n STANDBY en el interruptor frontal. El amplificador ser?? activado al aplicarle un voltaje entre 12 y 24 voltios CD a la terminal trasera de 4 pins, y al haber conectado la terminal ENABLE al la terminal de +24 voltios CD. Cuando no hay voltaje presente o la conexi??n ENABLE es abierta, el amplificador se apagar??. Otros amplificadores ICA pueden ser conectados en serie (daisy-chain) conectando todas las terminales de +24 voltios CD juntas, todas las terminales COMMON juntas, y conectando las salidas ENABLE OUT a las entradas ENABLE IN del siguiente amplificador. Un conector para este tipo de conexiones es incluido con el amplificador.

13.Rejilla del Ventilador

Un ventilador continuo de CD provee aire fresco al amplificador. Nunca bloquee esta entrada.

El ventilador opera ??nicamente cuando el amplificador requiere enfriamiento.

20

OPERACI??N

REQUISITOS DE TAMA??O DE CIRCUITO DE CA

Los requisitos de poder para los amplificadores ICA??? han sido calculados en estado ???Idle???, a 1/8 de poder (condiciones de m??sica ???t??picas???), 1/3 de poder y poder m??ximo. El m??ximo de poder

requerido es limitado por el interruptor (breaker) del circuito. Consulte las fichas de especificaciones para conocer las necesidades de corriente de cada amplificador. Los da??os que sean resultado de conectar el amplificador a fuentes inapropiadas no son cubiertos por ninguna garant??a. NOTA: Siempre apague y desconecte el amplificador de la corriente antes de llevar a cabo conexiones de audio. Como una medida adicional de precauci??n, tenga los atenuadores de entrada al m??nimo al encender.

REQUISITOS DE ENFRIAMIENTO

Los amplificadores de la serie ICA usan un sistema de enfriamiento por medio de aire forzado para mantener una temperatura baja y uniforme incluso durante su operaci??n. El aire de

enfriamiento es introducido por medio de un ventilador continuo de velocidad variable montado en el panel trasero, y sale por las aberturas en el panel frontal. El ventilador se mantendr?? apagado hasta que la temperatura de operaci??n alcance los 45?? C (113?? F). Aseg??rese que exista suficiente espacio alrededor del panel trasero del amplificador para permitir que el aire pase. NOTA: Si el amplificador est?? instalado en un rack no use puertas o paneles de cobertura en la parte trasera o frontal sin presurizar la parte trasera del rack. Sea cual sea el tipo de rack que use, aseg??rese que el aire caliente pueda escapar libremente, y que no exista resistencia a la entrada de aire fr??o por la parrilla trasera. Tanto el aire que entra como el que sale deben fluir sin resistencia.

HIBERNACI??N (HIBERNATION???)

Todos los amplificadores de la serie ICA incluyen circuitos de Hibernaci??n. Las necesidades de corriente y las emisiones termales son m??nimas cuando se identifica que no existe se??al de entrada por m??s de un minuto. Una vez que la se??al est?? presente la Hibernaci??n inmediatamente regresa el amplificador a modo de operaci??n normal. Las especificaciones de requisitos de corriente durante la Hibernaci??n est??n incluidas en las especificaciones bajo Requisitos de Corriente en bajo uso.

EMISIONES T??RMICAS

El instalador o dise??ador debe especificar las necesidades de enfriamiento. Haga referencia a las fichas de especificaciones en la parte trasera de este manual para cifras espec??ficas de emisiones t??rmicas.

CONEXIONES DE ENTRADA

Las conexiones de entrada aceptan se??ales de audio tanto balanceadas como no balanceadas. Para usarse con una fuente no balanceada, se debe amarrar la entrada invertida (-) a tierra instalando un cable a la tierra de la se??al. Si la entrada se deja flotando, el resultado ser?? una p??rdida de 6 dB.

CONFIGURACI??N DE MODO DE SE??AL

Los amplificadores de la serie ICA??? han sido configurados en Est??reo (2 canales), Modo Puenteado o Modo de operaci??n en Paralelo en las entradas.

Para mandar la misma se??al a los dos canales (modo paralelo), conecte la se??al de entrada al CANAL A por medio de su conexi??n de entrada. Conecte cables de las terminales positiva y negativa de la conexi??n del CANAL A a las conexiones de las terminales respectivas del CANAL B.

21

Ahora los dos canales comparten la se??al del CANAL A, pero operar??n independientemente. Las bocinas son conectadas en modo est??reo.

El Modo ???Puenteado??? (Bridged) convierte el amplificador en una unidad de un solo canal con una capacidad de poder igual a la suma de los dos canales, y con una carga del doble que la de un solo canal. En Modo Puenteado los canales operan con polaridades opuestas entre ellos para que un canal ???empuje??? mientras que el otro ???jala??? al mismo nivel. La se??al es conectada a la conexi??n de entrada conectando la terminal positiva (+) de la Entrada A a la terminal negativa (-) de la Entrada B y la terminal negativa (-) de la Entrada A a la terminal positiva (+) de la Entrada B. Ambos atenuadores (A y B) son usados para controlar el nivel de la se??al, y los dos deben estar al mismo nivel, preferentemente a 0 dB. Las bocinas s??lo deben ser conectadas a las terminales de salida designadas ???+???. NUNCA se trate de aterrizar alguno de los canales de los cables de las bocinas cuando el amplificador est?? en Modo Puenteado, ya que los dos lados est??n ???calientes???. Si se usa un panel de parcheo externo para las salidas, todas las conexiones deben estar aisladas entre si y del panel. Para los amplificadores de la serie ICA la impedancia de carga m??nima en Modo Puenteado es 8 ohimos, lo equivalente a cargar los dos canales con 4 ohmios cada uno. Las cargas de menos de 8 ohimos pueden activar los circuitos de LFC y tambi??n pueden causar condiciones t??rmicas. NOTA: A pesar del modo de operaci??n que se utilice, NUNCA conecte las salidas del amplificador juntas!

CONEXIONES DE SALIDA DE BOCINAS

Las bocinas son conectadas usando la barra de conexiones de salida. Se puede usar diferentes tipos de cable para hacer estas conexiones. La barra de conexiones proporciona conexiones de hasta dos cables de medida 10 por terminal. Aseg??rese que el amplificador esta apagado (posici??n off) antes de llevar a cabo cualquier conexi??n de bocinas. Consulte la ficha de medidas de cables en la parte trasera de este manual para encontrar una medida que minimice las perdidas de poder en los cables de bocinas. Tambi??n, aseg??rese que la impedancia de la carga no sea inferior a la de la medida del amplificador.

CONEXI??N DE TIERRA

Las conexiones de entrada permiten que la se??al de audio se conecte a la tierra o que esta sea levantada del chasis. Cuando sea posible, la armadura del cable de la fuente de la se??al debe conectarse a la tierra del chasis. En algunos casos, particularmente si el amplificador se est?? conectando en un sistema existente, esto puede hacer un circuito de tierra. Si esto sucede, conecte la armadura a la tierra de la se??al solamente. La tierra del chasis tambi??n se conecta a la tierra de la CA internamente. Si la armadura del cable es conectada s??lo a la tierra de la se??al ser?? variada +/- 0.6 V arriba o debajo de la tierra del chasis/ CA.

CARACTER??STICAS DE PROTECCI??N

La serie de amplificadores ICA??? incorpora medidas de seguridad y protecci??n derivadas de a??os de experiencia en Peavey. Los amplificadores son construidos de forma durable con componentes de alta calidad e incorporan circuitos de seguridad para proteger al amplificador de ???eventos de la vida real???.

LIMITE DE CLIP

En el punto de m??ximo poder, o punto de clip (o saturaci??n), la ganancia autom??ticamente ser?? reducida, protegiendo a las bocinas contra da??os por ondas cuadradas que de otra manera ser??an producidos. Esto es indicado por la iluminaci??n del LED de CLIP. La operaci??n normal de la unidad no disparar?? el limite de clip, s??lo la saturaci??n excesiva o continua. La operaci??n de esta medida de seguridad es transparente y se mantiene el rango completo de frecuencias.

CORRECCI??N DE FALLA DE CARGA

LFC (por sus siglas en Ingl??s) es un circuito innovador que instant??neamente reduce la ganancia de un canal para permitir que el amplificador opere en un nivel seguro bajo una carga anormal. La activaci??n del LFC es indicada por la iluminaci??n del LED de LFC. La activaci??n moderada del LFC no puede ser identificada por el o??do bajo condiciones normales. Adem??s, si se encuentra una impedancia demasiado baja o un corto circuito durante condiciones de se??al alta, el relay del amplificador se abrir??.

23

PROTECCI??N DE FADE-IN

Esta funci??n se activa cada vez que el amplificador es encendido, o despu??s de una condici??n de protecci??n. Al encenderlo, el amplificador autom??ticamente se encuentra en modo de protecci??n y mantiene las cargas a las bocinas desconectadas hasta que el amplificador determina que el modo de operaci??n es normal. La protecci??n de Fade-In aten??a la se??al durante el proceso inicial de encendido para proteger su operaci??n. Una vez que el relay ha sido soltado, la ganancia de los canales se incrementa gradualmente a su posici??n para liberar a las bocinas de estr??s innecesario.

PROTECCI??N T??RMICA

Si el amplificador detecta que la temperatura de operaci??n alcanza niveles muy altos, el amplificador se proteger?? desconectando la carga de las bocinas hasta que el amplificador regrese a temperaturas de operaci??n aceptables. Durante este tiempo el LED de PROTECCI??N se iluminar??, y el ventilador funcionar?? a su capacidad m??xima.

CORTO CIRCUITO

Si una salida tiene un corto el LFC???, el relay de bocinas y los circuitos t??rmicos autom??ticamente proteger??n al amplificador. El circuito de LFC siente el corto como una condici??n de carga anormal y reduce la ganancia del canal a un nivel seguro para la carga e inicia la secuencia de encendido.

PROTECCI??N DE VOLTAJE DE CD

Si un canal del amplificador detecta voltaje de CD o se??ales subsonoras en sus terminales de salida, el relay de bocinas inmediatamente se abrir?? para prevenir da??os a las bocinas. El LED de PROTECCI??N se iluminar?? para notificar esta situaci??n.

ENCENDIDO/APAGADO SECUENCIAL

La serie de amplificadores ICA??? viene est??ndar con operaci??n secuencial remota. El interruptor general del panel frontal debe estar en la posici??n STANDBY. Una fuente de poder externa que provea voltaje entre 12 y 24 voltios de CD deber ser conectada a la terminal de 4 pins del panel trasero. La conexi??n de salida ENABLE OUT ser?? conectada a la entrada ENABLE IN del siguiente amplificador. Los amplificadores de la serie ICA??? son entonces conectados entre si de forma paralela y conectados a la fuente de CD conectando todas las terminales 24 V DC + juntas y todas las terminales COMMON juntas. El primer amplificador de la cadena requiere una cerradura SPST entre su terminal 24 V DC + y su terminal ENBLE OUT para iniciar la secuencia y mantener a todos los amplificadores de la cadena encendidos.

PANNEAU ARRIERE

Les Amplificateurs ICA??? sont ??quip??s d???un bloc d???entr??e permettant d???y ins??rer une prise 4- connecteurs Phenix par canal. Il vous est possible de relier la masse du signal audio ?? celle de votre unit?? gr??ce ?? ces connections.

9.SORTIES

Ce bloc est pr??vu pour recevoir les connexions des enceintes. Il est pr??vu pour du fil d??nud?? ou ??quip?? d???une cosse ?? fourche. Il est pr??vu pour connecter jusqu????? 2 c??bles d??nud??s de 6mm 2 par terminal.

10.CONNECTEUR D???ALIMENTATION IEC

Un connecteur d???alimentation IEC est situ?? sur le panneau arri??re de votre unit??. Un c??ble

IEC est n??cessaire pour la connection ?? la source d???alimentation (fourni).

11.DISJONCTEUR

Il est situ?? dans le coin sup??rieur gauche du panneau arri??re. Si celui-ci est d??sengag?? (position sortie), enfoncez-le pour remettre l???unit?? en condition de fonctionnement. Si le disjoncteur continue ?? se d??sengager, votre unit?? a besoin d?????tre v??rifi??e par un technicien. N???insistez pas sur le disjoncteur car vous risquez d???endommager s??rieusement votre ampli.

12.CONNECTEUR DE CONTROLE A DISTANCES

Les amplificateurs de la s??rie ICA??? poss??dent un mode de fonctionnement contr??lable ?? distance, activ?? quand le s??lecteur d???alimentation est en position STANDBY. L???unit?? se mettra en fonction ?? la r??ception d???un signal de 12 ?? 24 Volts entre les pins ENABLE et COMMON(masse). Si aucun signal n???est recu (ou le circuit ouvert), l???ampli se mettra en mode passif (pas d???amplification). Vous pouvez chainer plusieurs amplis ICA en connectant toutes les pins +24V ensembles, les pins COMMON ensembles et la pin ENABLE OUT ?? celle ENABLE IN de l???unit?? suivante. Un connecteur inter-unit?? est fourni.

13.GRILLE DE VENTILATEUR

Un ventilateur ?? vitesse variable assure la ventilation de votre unit??. Ne couvrez pas cette

entr??e. Le ventilateur ne fonctionne que lorsque les radiateurs de votre unit?? le n??cessite.

OPERATION

ALIMENTATION ELECTRIQUE

La consommation ??lectrique des unit??s ICA??? est not??: ???idle???(en veille), 1/8 puissance maximale (condition typique musicale), 1/3 puissance maximale, et puissance maximale. Cette derni??re

est limit??e par la pr??sence d???un disjoncteur. Consultez la feuille de sp??cificit?? pour conna??tre les besoins de votre unit??. Le voltage doit ??tre le m??me que celui annot?? ?? l???arri??re de votre unit??. Les dommages caus??s par une alimentation inadapt??e ne sont pas couverts par la garantie. NOTE: Toujours mettre hors tension et d??brancher de l???alimentation avant de proc??der ?? des connexions audio. Par mesure de s??curit??, toujours positionner les contr??les de gain situ??s sur le panneau arri??re au minimum lors de la mise sous tension initiale.

REFROIDISSEMENT

Les unit??s de la s??rie ICA utilisent un syst??me d???air forc?? pour maintenir une temp??rature de fonctionnement. La circulation d???air est assur??e par un ventilateur ?? vitesse variable mont?? sur

le panneau arri??re et des grilles d?????chappement sur le panneau avant. Le ventilateur ne se met en fonctionnement qu????? partir d???une temp??rature interne de 45?? C. Assurez-vous qu???il y ait suffisamment d???espace autour de votre unit?? pour ce circuit d???air. NOTE: Si vous installez votre unit?? dans un support Rack, n???utilisez pas les portes avant et arri??re sans pr??voir un syst??me de surpression sur l???arri??re, en pr??vision des besoins en air frais lors du fonctionnement. L???air doit pouvoir circuler sans contrainte vers l???entr??e (panneau arri??re) et depuis la sortie (panneau avant).

HIBERNATION???

Toutes les unit??s de la s??rie ICA sont ??quipp??s d???un circuit Hibernation. La consommation ??lectrique et le d??gagement calorifique sont reduits au minimum si aucun signal n???est recu en entr??e pour plus d???une minute. D??s qu???un signal est recu, Hibernation restaure le mode de fonctionnement de l???amplificateur. Les besoins ??lectriques lorsque Hibernation est actif correspondent ?? ceux not??s ???Idle???(en veille).

EMISSIONS THERMIQUES

Le concepteur de votre installation devrait pr??ciser les besoins exacts de votre syst??me.R??f??rez- vous aux sp??cifications not??es ?? la fin de ce manuel pour plus d???informations.

CONNECTEURS D???ENTREE

Le connecteur d???entr??e accepte aussi bien les signaux audio sym??triques et assym??triques. Dans le cas d???une source assym??trique, connectez la pin (-) du bloc de connexions ?? la masse de ce bloc. Si la pin (-) est laiss??e non-connect??e, il en r??sultera une perte de gain de 6 dB.

CONFIGURATION DU SIGNAL D???ENTREE

Les unit??s ICA??? peuvent fonctionner en st??r??o (2 canaux), en pont (Bridge) ou en parall??le (m??me signal sur les 2 canaux).

Pour envoyer le m??me signal aux 2 canaux (Mode Parall??le), connectez normalement le canal A, et connectez ensemble les bornes positives des 2 entr??es puis les bornes n??gatives des 2 entr??es. Chaque canal recoit le m??me signal mais agit ind??pendamment (La connexion des enceintes est semblable ?? un mode St??r??o).

Le Mode Pont (Bridge) convertit votre unit?? en un amplificateur mono-canal dont la puissance est ??gale ?? la somme des puissances de chaque canal d???origine et la charge minimale est la somme

35

des charges minimales de chaque canal. Chaque canal agit en inversion par rapport ?? l???autre, en connectant la pin (-) du canal A ?? la pin (+) du canal B et la pin (+) du canal A ?? la pin (-) du canal B. Le signal d???entr??e est connect?? normalement aux pin (+) et (-) du canal A. Les 2 contr??les de gain agiront sur la puissance du signal, et doivent ??tre ?? la m??me valeur (de pr??f??rence 0dB). Les hauts- parleurs sont connect??s aux bornes (+) de chaque canal. Ne jamais connecter un c??t?? des hauts- parleurs ?? la masse en mode Pont car les 2 c??t??s sont dits ???chauds???. Si un panneau de cabl??ge de sortie (Patch Panel) est utilis??, toutes les connexions doivent ??tre isol??es ind??pendamment et par rapport au panneau. Les unit??s de la s??rie ICA permettent une charge minimum de 8 ohms en Mode Pont, ce qui ??quivaut ?? 4 ohms par cot?? en Mode St??r??o. Une charge inf??rieure activerait le circuit de protection de charge ainsi que celui de protection thermique.

STEREO MODE CONNECTION DIAGRAM

PARALLEL MODE DIAGRAM

36

BRIDGED MODE DIAGRAM

CONNEXIONS HAUTS-PARLEUR

Les hauts-parleurs sont ?? connecter au bloc de sortie (Output). Vous pouvez y connecter des cosses ?? fourches ou des fils d??nud??s, avec un maximum de 2 c??bles de 6mm2 par teminal.

Assurez-vous que votre unit?? est d??connect??e de l???alimentation avant de toucher les connecteurs de sortie. Consultez la charte de c??blage ?? la fin de ce manuel pour minimiser les pertes. Assurez-vous ??galement que la charge totale ne soit pas inf??rieure ?? celle recommand??e pour votre unit??

MASSE DU SIGNAL

Le bloc de connexions d???entr??e (INPUT) permet d???unifier les masses de votre unit?? et du signal audio. Si possible, les diff??rentes masses doivent ??tre connect??es ensemble. N??anmoins, surtout si l???unit?? est ajout??e ?? un syst??me existant, cela peut cr??er une ???boucle de masse??? engendrant un bruit parasite. Si ce ph??nom??ne se pr??sente, ne connectez la masse du c??ble qu????? la masse de l???entr??e audio. Cette derni??re est ??galement connect??e ?? la masse de l???alimentation de facon interne, et allouera une diff??rence de potentiel de +/- 0.6 V par rapport ?? celle de l???alimentation.

SYSTEMES DE PROTECTION

Les unit??s de la s??rie ICA??? incorporent plusieurs syst??mes de s??curit?? r??sultants de l???exp??rience de Peavey dans l???amplification audio. Ils sont assembl??s avec des composants de haute qualit?? et disposent de protections permettant d?????viter les principaux probl??mes et dommages ?? votre syst??me.

CLIP LIMITEUR

A pleine puissance (clipping point), le gain du canal concern?? sera automatiquement reduit, ??vitant d???endommager les hauts-parleurs par l???exc??s de puissance ou des ondes ???cr??neaux??? qui risqueraient d?????tre produits. Cette r??duction du gain est effective lorsque la Led (Clip Led) s???illumine. Un signal normal peut d??clencher la Led de Clip de temps en temps sans ??tre notifiable au niveau sonore, seul un niveau excessif et prolong?? (Led allum??e sans discontinuit??) d??clenchera une baisse de gain ???audible???. Ce syst??me est dit ???transparent??? car la bande compl??te de signal est maintenue.

CORRECTION DE CHARGE???

LFC (Load Fault Correction) est un circuit qui r??duira instantan??ment le gain du signal pour permettre ?? l???unit?? d?????viter les probl??mes li??s ?? une charge trop faible en sortie. La Led LFC s???illumine quand ce circuit est actif. Un d??clenchement occasionnel de ce circuit est inaudible. Dans le cas d???un court circuit ou d???une charge excessivement faible sur les sorties de l???unit??, le relai de sortie s???ouvrira.

37

PROTECTION DE MISE EN ROUTE

A chaque fois que l???unit?? est mise sous tension, ou apr??s une restauration d?????tat de protection, celle-ci passera en mode prot??g?? et laisse les hauts-parleurs d??connect??s jusqu????? v??rification des syst??mes de protection. Une fois la v??rification termin??e, l???unit?? fermera le relai du signal, mais en att??nuant le gain, et augmentera celui-ci progressivement jusqu???au niveau normal pour ??viter tout dommage aux hauts-parleurs.

PROTECTION THERMALE

Si le transformateur ou les radiateurs atteignent une temp??rature anormale, l???unit?? s???auto-prot??gera en d??connectant la charge de sortie jusqu????? regagner la temp??rature de fonctionnement. Pendant cette coupure, la PROTECT LED s???illuminera et le ventilateur fonctionnera ?? sa vitesse maximale.

PROTECTION DE COURT CIRCUIT

Si une sortie est en court-circuit, le LFC???(Correction de Charge), le relai de sortie et la protection thermique s???activeront pour prot??ger l???unit??. Le LFC verra une charge trop faible et r??duira le gain du signal. Dans des conditions extr??mes, le relai de sortie s???ouvrira (d??connexion de la sortie) et entamera une proc??dure de red??marrage.

PROTECTION DE COURANT CONTINU

Si l???unit?? d??tecte un courant continu ou un signal sub-sonique en sortie, le relai de sortie s???ouvrira instantan??ment pour ??viter tout dommage aux enceintes. La PROTECT LED s???illuminera pour vous notifier la situation.

MISE EN ROUTE/ARRET SEQUENTIELS

Les unit??s de la s??rie ICA??? sont ??quipp??es d???un syst??me de contr??le de mise sous/hors tension ?? distance, actif lorsque l???interrupteur d???alimentation est sur STANBDBY. Une alimentation externe g??n??rant de 12 ?? 24 volts DC doit ??tre appliqu??e au connecteur situ?? sur le panneau arri??re. Le ENABLE OUT doit ??tre connect?? au ENABLE IN de l???unit?? suivante. Les diff??rentes unit??s sont ???coupl??es??? en reliant en parall??le tous les terminaux 24 V DC+ ensemble et COMMON ensemble pour la s??quence de mise en route.

2.DREIFACH-NETZSCHALTER

Auf der Ger??tefront befindet sich ein Dreifach-Netzschalter, da zu den Standardfunktionen des Verst??rkers auch das zentrale, sequentielle Ein/Ausschalten per Fernbedienung z??hlt. Bei Schalterstellung ???au??en??? (ON) ist der Verst??rker ein-, in der Mittelposition (OFF) ausgeschaltet. Bei Schalterstellung ???innen??? befindet sich das Ger??t im STANDBY-Betrieb. In dieser Betriebsart l??sst sich der Verst??rker ??ber einen sequentiellen Einschaltkreis oder je nach Konfiguration auch per Computer steuern. Weitere Informationen hierzu finden Sie im Kapitel SEQUENTIELLES EIN/AUSSCHALTEN.

3.POWER-LED

Die POWER-LED leuchtet, wenn der Verst??rker eingeschaltet ist.

4.SIGNAL-LED

Jeder Kanal ist mit einer SIGNAL-LED ausgestattet, die aufleuchtet, sobald am Verst??rkerausgang ein Signal von mehr als 1 Volt anliegt.

5.CLIP-LED

Jeder Kanal ist mit einer CLIP-LED ausgestattet, die aufleuchtet, sobald der Verst??rker ??bersteuert und der interne Schaltkreis zur Gain-Reduktion aktiviert wird, so dass der Verst??rker weiterhin unter Volllast gefahren werden kann. Weitere Informationen hierzu finden Sie im Kapitel SCHUTZSCHALTUNGEN.

6.LFC-LED

Jeder Kanal ist mit einer LFC-(Load Fault Correction-)LED ausgestattet, die aufleuchtet, sobald der Verst??rker ausgangsseitig eine nicht korrekte Last erkennt. ??ber die interne Schutzschaltung wird in diesem Fall sofort der Wert f??r die Eingangsverst??rkung (Channel Gain) reduziert, so dass der Verst??rker mit einem bei der jeweiligen Last sicheren Pegel weiter arbeitet. Weitere Informationen hierzu finden Sie im Kapitel SCHUTZSCHALTUNGEN.

7.PROTECT-LED

Diese LED leuchtet unmittelbar beim Einschalten des Verst??rkers bzw. sobald ein Betriebsfehler erkannt wird und sich die Relays f??r den Lautsprecherausgang ??ffnen.

8.EINGANGSMODUL

ICA-Verst??rker sind eingangsseitig serienm????ig mit steckbaren Reihenklemmen und zus??tzlichen Trimmreglern f??r die Kanald??mpfung ausgestattet. Die entsprechenden internen Verbindungen f??r Spannungsverst??rkung und Eingangsempfindlichkeit sind ab Werk auf einen Gesamt-Gain-Wert von 40 eingestellt. Dar??ber hinaus bietet das Eingangsmodul die M??glichkeit, die Massef??hrung des Audiosignals bei Bedarf abzutrennen.

9.AUSGANGS-SCHRAUBKLEMMLEISTE

F??r den Lautsprecheranschluss steht eine Schraubklemmleiste bereit, die sich wahlweise f??r die Aufnahme von Einzelleitern (bis zu zwei Leiter ?? max. 2,5883 mm pro Terminal) oder den Anschluss ??ber Kabelschuhe eignet.

10.EURO-NETZANSCHLUSS

In der oberen linken Ecke der Ger??ter??ckseite befindet sich ein standardm????iger Euro- Netzanschluss, an den Sie das im Lieferumfang enthaltene und an die jeweilige Betriebsspannung angepasste Netzkabel anschlie??en.

11.SICHERUNG

Oben links auf der Ger??ter??ckseite finden Sie einen r??cksetzbaren Wechselstrom- Sicherungsautomaten. Sollte dieser ausl??sen, brauchen Sie ihn lediglich herein zu dr??cken und der Verst??rker ist wieder betriebsbereit. F??r den Fall, dass der Sicherungsautomat erneut ausl??st, sollten Sie das Ger??t allerdings unbedingt ??berpr??fen lassen. Ein wiederholtes Zur??cksetzen kann zu gravierenden Sch??den am Ger??t f??hren und stellt zudem ein ernstzunehmendes Sicherheitsrisiko dar!

12.SEQUENTIELLE EIN/AUSSCHALT-FUNKTION

Verst??rker der ICA-Serie sind serienm????ig mit einer fernsteuerbaren, sequentiellen Ein/Ausschaltfunktion ausgestattet, die durch das Schalten des Netzschalters in den STANDBY-Modus aktiviert wird. Wird an der r??ckw??rtigen, 4-poligen steckbaren Reihenklemme eine Spannung von 12 - 24 V DC erkannt, schaltet sich der Verst??rker bei bestehender Verbindung des ENABLE-Anschlusses mit dem 24 V DC+-Anschluss automatisch ein. Wenn keine Spannung anliegt oder die ENABLE-Verbindung nicht gesteckt ist, schaltet der Verst??rker ab. Dar??ber hinaus lassen sich mehrere Verst??rker der ICA-Serie ???durchschleifen???, indem Sie die 24 V DC+- und die COMMON-Anschl??sse aller Verst??rker miteinander sowie den ENABLE OUT-Anschluss des ersten mit dem ENABLE IN-Anschluss des jeweils n??chsten Verst??rkers verbinden. (Eine geeignete Kupplung ist im Lieferumfang enthalten.)

13.L??FTUNGSGITTER

F??r die Frischluftzufuhr ins Verst??rkerinnere sorgt ein stufenlos regelbarer Gleichstroml??fter,

der nur dann einsetzt, wenn die K??hlk??rper eine K??hlung des Verst??rkers erforderlich machen. Versperren Sie niemals die zugeh??rige Ansaug??ffnung!

BEDIENUNG

STROMBEDARF

Der Strombedarf der ICA-Verst??rker wurde im ???Leerlauf???, bei 1/8 der Gesamtleistung (???typisch??? f??r Musik), bei 1/3 der Gesamtleistung und unter Volllast ermittelt, wobei die maximale

Stromaufnahme durch die Verst??rkersicherung begrenzt wird. Die Werte f??r Ihr Verst??rkermodell finden Sie in den Technischen Daten. Beachten Sie stets, dass die Netzspannung mit dem auf der Ger??ter??ckseite aufgedruckten Wert ??bereinstimmen muss. Der Hersteller haftet f??r keinerlei Sch??den, die durch den Anschluss des Verst??rkers an eine ungeeignete Netzspannung entstehen.

HINWEIS: Trennen Sie den Verst??rker stets vom Netz, bevor Sie Audioverbindungen stecken oder ver??ndern. Zus??tzlich ist es ratsam, die Eingangs-Trimmpotentiometer w??hrend des Einschaltvorgangs ganz zur??ck zu drehen.

K??HLUNG

Verst??rker der ICA-Serie sind zur Gew??hrleistung einer gleichm????ig niedrigen Arbeitstemperatur mit einer Zwangsk??hlung ausgestattet, d.h. die Frischluft wird mittels des stufenlos regelbaren

L??fters auf der R??ckseite des Verst??rkers ins Ger??teinnere und ??ber L??ftungsschlitze auf der Vorderseite wieder hinaus gef??hrt. Die L??ftung setzt ein, sobald die Arbeitstemperatur im Inneren des Ger??ts 45 ???C ??berschreitet. Sorgen Sie stets f??r ausreichend Platz um den Verst??rker herum, damit eine ungehinderte Frischluftzufuhr gew??hrleistet ist. HINWEIS (bei Rack-Einbau): Verschlie??en Sie das Rack weder vorne noch hinten mit T??ren oder anderen Abdeckungen, es sei denn, die R??ckseite wird zwangsbel??ftet. Ungeachtet des Rack-Typs sollten Sie stets darauf achten, dass jegliche Hitze ungehindert entweichen kann und die r??ckseitige Ansaug??ffnung unversperrt bleibt. Das freie Ansaugen und Aussto??en der Luft ist f??r einen reibungslosen Betrieb unerl??sslich.

SLEEP-FUNKTION

Alle Verst??rker der ICA-Serie sind mit einer Sleep-Funktion ausgestattet, die daf??r sorgt, dass Stromzufuhr und W??rmeentwicklung auf ein Minimum reduziert werden, wenn l??nger als eine Minute kein Eingangssignal erkannt wird. Sobald wieder ein Signal anliegt, versetzt die Sleep-Schaltung den Verst??rker zur??ck in den normalen Betriebszustand. Die Stromaufnahme bei aktivierter Sleep- Funktion finden Sie in den Technischen Daten unter ???Ruhestrom???.

49

W??RMEENTWICKLUNG

Die speziellen K??hlungsanforderungen Ihres Systems sollte der jeweils zust??ndige Techniker am besten beurteilen k??nnen. Die W??rmewerte f??r Ihr(e) Verst??rkermodell(e) finden Sie in den Technischen Daten hinten in dieser Bedienungsanleitung.

EINGANGSMODUL

Das Eingangsmodul ist auf symmetrische und unsymmetrische Verbindungen ausgelegt. Bei unsymmetrischen Audiosignalen ist es erforderlich, den mit Minus (-) bezeichneten Eingang mittels eines Verbindungskabels an Masse anzuschlie??en, da sich anderenfalls ein Gain-Verlust von 6 dB ergibt.

BETRIEBSARTEN

Verst??rker der ICA-Serie sind eingangsseitig auf Stereo- (2-Kanal-), Br??cken- und Parallel- Betrieb ausgelegt.

M??chten Sie ein und das selbe Signal auf beide Kan??le legen (Parallel-Betrieb), belegen Sie CHANNEL A des Eingangsmoduls und f??hren Verbindungskabel von den mit Plus bzw. Minus bezeichneten Terminals von CHANNEL A auf die entsprechenden Terminals von CHANNEL B.

Anschlie??end liegt auf beiden Kan??len das Eingangssignal von CHANNEL A an, sie arbeiten jedoch unabh??ngig voneinander. Der Anschluss der Lautsprecher erfolgt in der gleichen Weise wie im Abschnitt Stereo-Betrieb beschrieben.

Im Br??ckenbetrieb (???Bridged Mode???) arbeitet der Verst??rker einkanalig, wobei die Verst??rkerleistung der Summe beider Kan??le entspricht und die Lastwerte zu verdoppeln sind. Im Br??ckenbetrieb arbeiten die beiden Verst??rkerkan??le mit jeweils umgekehrter Polarit??t ??? man k??nnte also sagen, der eine Kanal ???schiebt??? und der andere ???zieht??? im gleichen Verh??ltnis. Verbinden Sie hierzu den Plus- Terminal (+) von Eingang A mit dem Minus-Terminal (-) von Eingang B, sowie den Minus-Terminal (-) von Eingang A mit dem Plus-Terminal (+) von Eingang B. Die Signalpegel der Kan??le (A & B) stellen Sie mittels der zugeh??rigen Trimmpotentiometer ein (der D??mpfungswert muss bei beiden Kan??len gleich sein, idealerweise 0 dB). Verbinden Sie nun die Lautsprecher mit den entsprechenden Ausgangs-Terminals (???+???). Schlie??en Sie Lautsprecherkabel im Br??ckenbetrieb NIEMALS an Masse an, da beide Leiter ???signalf??hrend??? sind. Sollten Sie f??r das Routing der Ausg??nge eine Patchbay einsetzen, m??ssen s??mtliche Verbindungen voneinander und von der Patchbay isoliert sein. F??r Verst??rker der ICA-Serie gilt im Br??ckenbetrieb eine nominale Mindestlastimpedanz von 8 Ohm (entsprechend 4 Ohm bei zwei Kan??len). Lastimpedanzen unter 8 Ohm k??nnen in diesem Fall ein Ausl??sen der Lastfehlerkorrektur (LFC) und/oder des ??berhitzungsschutzes bewirken. Hinweis:

Verbinden Sie Verst??rkerausg??nge NIEMALS miteinander ??? ungeachtet der Betriebsart!

STEREO-BETRIEB

PARALLEL-BETRIEB

LAUTSPRECHERANSCHLUSS

Der Lautsprecheranschluss erfolgt ??ber Schraubklemmleisten, die sich f??r den Anschluss von offenen oder geschlossenen Kabelschuhen sowie die Aufnahme von Einzelleitern (bis zu zwei Leiter ?? max. 2,5883 mm pro Terminal) eignen. Vergewissern Sie sich stets, dass der Verst??rker ausgeschaltet ist, bevor Sie Lautsprecher- oder andere Verbindungen ver??ndern. Informationen zu optimalen Lautsprecherkabelst??rken f??r ein Minimum an Verlustleistung finden Sie in der Kabel- Tabelle im Anhang zu dieser Bedienungsanleitung. Achten Sie zudem stets darauf, dass die Lastimpedanz die f??r das jeweilige Verst??rkermodell angegebene Mindestlastimpedanz nicht unterschreitet.

SIGNALERDUNG

Eingangsseitige Verbindungen lassen sich mit oder ohne Masseschluss realisieren. Wenn m??glich, sollte die Abschirmung des Anschlusskabels f??r die Signalquelle stets mit der Geh??usemasse (Signalerde) verbunden sein. In manchen F??llen jedoch bewirkt dies eine Erdschleife, insbesondere, wenn der Verst??rker in ein bereits bestehendes System eingebunden wird. Verbinden Sie dann lediglich die Abschirmung mit der Geh??usemasse, die wiederum ger??teintern geerdet ist (das Spannungspotential ist in diesem Fall auf einen Spannungsbereich von ??0,6 V begrenzt).

SCHUTZSCHALTUNGEN

Ihre hohe Zuverl??ssigkeit verdanken Peavey-Produkte jahrelanger Erfahrung. Verst??rker der ICA- Serie sind ??u??erst robuste, aus hochwertigen Komponenten gefertigte Ger??te, die zum Schutz gegen alle ???Eventualit??ten??? mit umfassenden Schutzschaltungen ausgestattet sind.

51

CLIP-LIMITER

Wird der Verst??rker unter Volllast ??? d.h. kurz vor dem Clipping (??bersteuern) ??? gefahren, sorgt der integrierte Clip-Limiter f??r eine automatische Reduktion der Eingangsverst??rkung und sch??tzt die Lautsprecher so gegen ??berlastung und das kontinuierliche Auftreten sch??digender Rechteckwellen. Angezeigt wird dies durch die CLIP-LED. Signal??bliche Transienten lassen den Clip-Limiter jedoch nicht ansprechen, da dieser lediglich der Verhinderung massiver bzw. kontinuierlicher ??bersteuerung dient. Die Schutzschaltung arbeitet dabei ausgesprochen transparent und unter Erhaltung der vollst??ndigen Bandbreite des Signals.

LASTFEHLERKORREKTUR

LFC (Load Fault Correction) bezeichnet eine innovative Schutzschaltung, die f??r eine sofortige Reduktion der Eingangsverst??rkung (d.h. einen ???sicheren??? Pegel) sorgt, wenn der Verst??rker mit einer ungeeigneten Last betrieben wird. Angezeigt wird eine Aktivierung der LFC-Schutzschaltung durch die LFC-LED. Greift die Lastfehlerkorrektur nur leicht ein, ist dies in der Regel unh??rbar. Bei extrem niedriger Impedanz oder Kurzschluss und einem sehr hohen Signalpegel ??ffnet sich allerdings zus??tzlich das Ausgangs-Relay.

EINSCHALTVERZ??GERUNG

Die Einschaltverz??gerung ist bei jedem Einschalten des Verst??rkers, auch beim Wiederaktivieren nach dem Ansprechen einer Schutzschaltung, aktiv. W??hrend des Einschaltens wechselt der Verst??rker kurzzeitig in den ???Protect???-Modus, der eine Abtrennung der Lautsprecherverbindung(en) bewirkt, bis das Ger??t den normalen Betriebszustand erreicht hat. Die Einschaltverz??gerung sorgt dabei f??r eine D??mpfung des Signals mit anschlie??ender allm??hlicher Erh??hung der Eingangsverst??rkung bis zu dem durch den D??mpfungsregler vorgegebenen Wert. Auf diese Weise werden unn??tige Belastungen der Lautsprecher vermieden.

??BERHITZUNGSSCHUTZ

Sollte der Verst??rker am K??hlk??rper oder am Netzteil ??berhitzen, bewirkt diese Schutzschaltung eine Abtrennung der Lautsprecherverbindung(en), bis wieder die normale Betriebstemperatur erreicht ist. W??hrenddessen leuchtet die PROTECT-LED und der L??fter arbeitet mit maximaler Geschwindigkeit.

KURZSCHLUSSSCHUTZ

Wird ausgangsseitig ein Kurzschluss erkannt, ist der Verst??rker automatisch durch Schutzschaltungen wie LFC und ??berhitzungsschutz sowie das Lautsprecher-Relay gesch??tzt. Die Lastfehlerkorrektur (LFC) erkennt den Kurzschlusszustand als unkorrekte Last und sorgt sofort f??r eine Reduktion der Eingangsverst??rkung auf einen sicheren Wert. Unter sehr extremen Bedingungen trennen die Lautsprecher-Relays die Last ab und bewirken damit einen Neustart.

GLEICHSTROMSCHUTZ

Werden im Ausgangssignal Gleichstrom- oder Subbassanteile erkannt, ??ffnet sich zur Verhinderung von Lautsprechersch??den sofort das Lautsprecher-Relay. Angezeigt wird dies durch die PROTECT- LED.

SEQUENTIELLES EIN/AUSSCHALTEN

Verst??rker der ICA-Serie sind serienm????ig mit einer fernsteuerbaren, sequentiellen Ein/Ausschaltfunktion ausgestattet, die durch das Schalten des frontseitigen Netzschalters in die STANDBY-Position aktiviert wird. Schlie??en Sie zu diesem Zweck ein externes Steuernetzteil mit einer Nennspannung zwischen 12 und 24 V DC an den vierpoligen Terminal auf der Ger??ter??ckseite an. Verbinden Sie anschlie??end den ENABLE OUT-Anschluss mit dem ENABLE IN-Anschluss des

52

n??chsten Verst??rkers. Verst??rker der ICA-Serie lassen sich parallel schalten (???durchschleifen???) und ??? durch Verbindung aller 24 V DC+- und COMMON-Anschl??sse miteinander ??? an die Steuerspannung anbinden. Beachten Sie, dass zur Initiierung des Einschaltvorgangs des ersten und s??mtlicher nachfolgender Verst??rker zwischen dem 24 V DC+-Terminal und dem ENABLE OUT-Anschluss des ersten Verst??rkers ein einpoliger Schalter (SPST) erforderlich ist.

4.All operating instructions should be followed.

5.This product should not be used near water (i.e., a bathtub, sink, swimming pool, wet basement, etc.)

6.This product should be located so that its position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. It should not be placed flat against a wall or placed in a built-in enclosure that will impede the flow of cooling air.

7.This product should not be placed near a source of heat such as a stove, radiator, or another heat producing amplifier.

8.Connect only to a power supply of the type marked on the unit adjacent to the power supply cord.

9.Never break off the ground pin on the power supply cord. For more information on grounding, write for our free booklet ???Shock Hazard and Grounding."

10.Power supply cords should always be handled carefully. Never walk on or place equipment on power supply cords. Periodically check cords for cuts or signs of stress, especially at the plug and the point where the cord exits the unit.

11.The power supply cord should be unplugged when the unit is to be unused for long periods of time.

12.If this product is to be mounted in an equipment rack, rear support should be provided.

13.Metal parts can be cleaned with a damp rag. The vinyl covering used on some units can be cleaned with a damp rag or an ammonia-based household cleaner if necessary. Disconnect unit from power supply before cleaning.

14.Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the unit through the ventilation holes or any other openings.

15.This unit should be checked by a qualified service technician if:

a.The power supply cord or plug has been damaged.

b.Anything has fallen or been spilled into the unit.

c.The unit does not operate correctly.

d.The unit has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.

16.The user should not attempt to service this equipment. All service work should be done by a qualified service technician.

17.This product should be used only with a cart or stand that is recommended by Peavey Electronics.

18.Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government???s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the following permissible noise level exposures.

According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of the above permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. Ear plugs or protectors for the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating this amplification system in order to prevent a permanent hearing loss if exposure is in excess of the limits as set forth above. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels such as this amplification system be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in operation.
