2016 Bittner Audio Int. GmbH

1 General Information Page 7

Should any part of the equipment show defects in materials and workmanship, including transport damage,

the customer is asked to complain to Bittner Audio. Failure of complaint, however, has no consequences for

your legal claims.

Bittner Audio points out that all speciﬁcations may be subject to change without notice and that liability

for incorrect, incomplete or outdated information is excluded. This warranty does not affect your statutory

rights.

Caution

International: Please contact your supplier for speciﬁc regional information, as rights and dis-

claimers may vary from country to country.

1.5 Safety Instructions

Caution

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not remove the cover. There are no user serviceable

parts inside, refer all servicing to qualiﬁed personnel. Replace fuses only with same type. Avoid

damaging the AC plug or cord. Damage may potentially cause a shock hazard. The apparatus

should only be connected to an AC power supply of the correct voltage.

Never isolate the ground of the AC power cord (the non-fused earthed protective conductor) to

eliminate hum-problems.

To reduce the risk of ﬁre or electrical shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture

and don’t use it in damp areas or near water. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or

splashing water and no objects ﬁlled with liquids shall be placed on the apparatus.

The apparatus must be adapted slowly to extreme temperature changes. These extreme changes

can cause inside moisture development that can cause failure and/or electrical shock.

The power fuses are located on the back panel of the apparatus and may be accessed from the

outside. Use only the appropriate fuses as labeled.

Always use safe operating techniques! Incompetent and improper servicing will void the war-

ranty.

Though all Bittner Audio devices are quite simple to operate and are covered by a solid steel

chassis, improper use may be dangerous. Some of the units can put out very high voltages and

a sizable current at frequencies up to 30 kHz. Any connections to the speaker terminals marked

with a „lightning symbol“ shall be made only by an instructed person.

Figure 1.1: Lightning Symbol

1.6 Warranty Terms & Conditions

Bittner Audio warrants this product to be free from defects in materials and workmanship.

Should any part of this equipment be defective, the Manufacturer agrees to repair or replace any defective

part free of charge (except transportation charges) for a period of three years from the date of the original

purchase.

2016 Bittner Audio Int. GmbH

Page 81 General Information

Warranty service is effective and available to the original purchaser only.

To obtain service under this warranty, the product must, on discovery of the defect, be properly packed and

shipped to the nearest Bittner Audio dealer. The party requesting service must provide proof of original

ownership and date of purchase of the product.

If the warranty is valid, Bittner Audio will, without charge for parts or labor, either repair or replace the

defective parts. Without a valid warranty, the entire cost of the repair is the responsibility of the product’s

owner.

The warranty does not cover defects or repairs needed as a result of:

1. Damage caused by abuse, accident, or negligence.

2. Damage caused by any tampering, alteration, or modiﬁcation of the product or its components.

3. Damage caused by failure to maintain and operate the product in strict accordance to the written

instruction of this operating manual.

4. Damage caused by repairs or attempted repairs by unauthorized persons.

5. Damage caused by ﬁre, water and other natural events.

6. Damage caused by operation on improper voltages.

1.7 Packaging

Upon unpacking, please inspect the product. If you ﬁnd any damage, notify your supplier immediately. Be

sure to save the carton and all packing materials in case you have to send the product to the supplier.

Please use only the original factory packing. If the shipment carton is unavailable, contact Bittner Audio

International GmbH (www.bittner-audio.com) to obtain a replacement.

1.8 Air Ventilation & Cooling Requirements

The devices are equipped with a forced air-cooling system with variable speed and temperature controlled

fans to guarantee low operating temperature and minimal ventilation noise. The air ﬂow takes place from

the rear to the front of the ampliﬁer. The air-pulling fans are installed on the back side of the unit. The air

ﬂow is always from the front to the rear side.

In case a heat sink becomes too hot, the temperature sensor opens the respective output relay, disconnecting

the output load from the particular channel. In case the power transformer gets overheated, a different

sensor causes the output relays on all channels to open and to interrupt the outputs. After cooling down to

an appropriate operating temperature level the relay contacts are closed again automatically.

It is important to have adequate air ventilation space behind the ampliﬁer to allow a proper air ﬂow. In case

the ampliﬁer is mounted inside a closed rack, do not cover the front of the rack with doors. If using racks

with a closed backside, use fans on the rear rack panel. Bittner Audio recommends one open rack space for

every 2 mounted power ampliﬁers.

2016 Bittner Audio Int. GmbH

1 General Information Page 9

1.9 Installation in Rack

All devices will mount in standard 19-inch racks having sufﬁcient depth and should be mounted with four

standard rack bolts. To avoid the deformation of the chassis it is recommended to mount heavy units on

horizontal brackets.

Please ensure a sufﬁcient airﬂow. In the case, closed racks are being used rack-fans should be used. For

larger installations one open rack space (1 RU) for every 2 mounted power ampliﬁers should be provided.

1.10 Power Connection

The power ampliﬁer must be connected only with the attached three-wire safety power cord with protective

conductor (non-fused earthed conductor).

This ampliﬁer is made for use with the mains voltage labeled on the back of the ampliﬁer only. Check the

label on the back panel of the ampliﬁer for the appropriate voltage. Make sure the voltage of your mains

outlet is correct. The power voltage is factory set as labeled on the back panel and cannot be changed

afterwards. Damage caused by connecting the ampliﬁer to improper AC voltage voids the warranty.

Caution

Never isolate the ground of the AC power cords (the non-fused earthed protective conductor) to

eliminate hum-problems.

Always turn off and disconnect the ampliﬁer from the mains voltage before making any audio connections.

As a precaution, turn the audio attenuators on the front panel down during powering up.

The power fuses are located on the back panel of the ampliﬁer and can be accessed from the outside. Use

only the appropriate fuses as labeled.

After properly mounting and connecting the AC cord and the audio connections, the unit can be switched

on.

Page 10 2 Technical Features

2 Technical Features

2.1 AC Power Switch

If the remote switching option is not being used, the device must be switched on and off with the main

power switch.

Caution

The ampliﬁer unit is only fully disconnected from the mains voltage by unplugging the power

cord.

To use the remote power switching option, the main power switch must be set as follows:

Ampliﬁer Position

XB 400/800 Off

XB 1600/2200 On

XV Off

XV DC On

XR DSP Off

4X On

4Xi On

4Xe On

4X DUAL Off

4DXV On

8X Off

2.2 Backup Power

The ampliﬁers of the the XV DC and 4DXV Series are equipped with a 24 V backup power supply. In case of

a loss of the mains supply the ampliﬁer will switch automatically to the 24 Volt input. The DC current will

be limited for safety reasons.

Caution

The 24 Volt DC supply input must be protected by an external fuse.
