OVERVIEW

These compact 1RU rack mount ampliers are suitable for both stand alone PA system use, or as zone ampliers in

larger systems requiring local inputs. All models operate on 240V ac or 24V dc for battery backup operation.

The input consists of a 3-pin XLR which can be set for either balanced mic level (3mV) or balanced line level (2V), adjusted

via a rear mounted trimpot. A dual RCA input is also provided with adjustable sensitivity of either 300mV or 1V.

Phantom power is also provided on the input XLR.

The circuit includes protection features in case of output over voltage, over current and over temperature. All are self

re-setting once the fault condition is removed. Visual indication via front panel LEDs display amplier status at all times.

Connect to a 220-240V AC @ 50Hz power source.

2 100V Output

Speakers tted with a 100V line transformer may be connected. Always ensure that the toal load of the

speakers does not exceed the rated output of the amplier ie 333Ω minimum at 100V for the A 4230 (30W),

166Ω minimum at 100V for the A 4240 (60W) and 100Ω minimum at 100V for the A 4250 (100W). Otherwise

either the DC or mains fuse could blow or the fault led activate and the amp will shut down. Always be careful

to avoid short circuits and connection to the wrong terminals. Refer to Fig 2 and Fig 3 for more details about the

impedance of speakers and how to check the impedance.

3 DIP Switch Settings

The A 4230 range of ampliers have a set of options which are enabled via the DIP switches 1-8.

Switch 1-7 Not used

Switch 8 sets the input sensitivity for the Dual RCA line input to either 1V or 300mV. Note: this only affects

the line input.

4 Audio Input

Input 1 can be used for mic or line input operation. The dual RCA line input has adjustable line input sensitivity

of either 300mV or 1V (Set by DIP switch 8). The balanced XLR input has an adjustable input sensitivity from 3mV

up to 2V. Phantom power is available on the balanced XLR input. Volume is adjusted via the volume pot on the

rear of the unit.

5 Resettable DC Fuse

Used to protect the unit when powered from 24V DC. This fuse is resettable by pressing the red button.

6 24V DC Input

Battery Backup: Provision has been provided to run the amplier from a suitably rated 24V battery system in the

event of a mains failure. Using appropriately rated cable, connect the battery to the “24V DC In” terminals.

Observe correct polarity when connecting.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

If the REDBACK amplier fails to deliver the rated performance, check the following:

No Power, No Lights

Make sure amplier power switch is on. Make sure mains power switch is on at the wall. Check the mains and DC fuse.

Replace with only the correct type and rating. Over rated fuses with invalidate warranty.

Distorted Output

Check that the speaker type is correct for the output that you are using (ie. 4-16O, 70V or 100V line). Check for any short

circuits on the speaker line. Check speaker line impedance. Note you must use an inpmedance meter for this such as

Altronics Q 2001.

Very Low Output Volume

Make sure that the input is the correct level (check for shorted connectors). Check for any short circuits on the speaker

line.

Check input DIP switches are set correctly.

Continually Blows Fuses

Make sure that the speaker line is not shorted. Check speaker types, ratings and if on correct output.

Amplier Keeps on Cutting In & Out

Make sure that there is adequate ventilation around the amplier. Check the vent slots on the front,top and sides are not

covered or blocked and the fan on the rear is functioning correctly. Check also speaker types, ratings and for any short

circuits on the speaker line.

About 100V Line Speaker Systems

Wiring speakers in parallel for 100V line: Where several speakers are to be used

at one time, on one circuit, it becomes necessary to use speakers fitted with

line-matchingtransformers. This is to overcome the effects of connecting speakers

in parallel and cable losses. The amplifier generally has an output voltage of

100 volts. In this configuration the total wattage load on the amplifier is derived

from adding all the line transformer primary tap ratings together. For example, 70

one watt speakers will have a total speaker load of 70 watts. Or alternatively, it is

conceivable to connect 100 one watt speakers to a 100 watt, 100 volt line amplifier.

Measuring 100V Line Speaker Impedance: To measure amplifier system load,

you must use an impedance meter in order to measure the AC resistance of the

connected speaker network. Impedance cannot be measured with a standard multi-

meter, as this measures the DC resistance. Use the Altronics Q 2001 or similar im-

pedance meter.
