4.3.1 Accessories

CE HANDLES

Handles complement your amplifier’s appearance, aid in transportation, and facilitate rack mounting and removal. They are available from Crown’s Sales Department; just ask for “CE Handles.”

4.3.2 Alternate Output Connectors

For added system flexibility, Crown offers optional secondary output connectors.

You have a choice of either the CEAS1 barrier block (see Figure 4.5) or the CEAS2 5-way binding post connectors (see Figure 4.6). Alternate output con- nectors may come factory installed on new amplifier orders. They can also be added to existing S-Series amplifiers by an authorized Crown Service Center. For more information, please contact Crown Techni- cal Support.

4.3.3 Tamper-Resistant Hole Plugs

Your S-Series amplifier comes with a set of tamper- resistant hole plugs, which allow you to “protect” the level controls against unauthorized adjustment.

To use, simply pull off the control knobs from the front of the amp, and slip the hole plugs into place (see Figure 4.7). The plugs should press easily into position with light force. Once in place, the plugs will help to avoid most accidental or intentional tampering (some situations may require additional security measures).

To remove the hole plugs, simply pry the plug away from the amplifier case using a small, flat-blade screwdriver. To help to ensure adequate security, the plugs have been designed to be more difficult to remove than to place into position. If necessary, additional hole plugs can be purchased separately from Crown’s Parts Department (Part # 103234-1).

Store your knobs in a safe location should you need to make level adjustments in the future.

4.3.4Optional 0.775 V Input Sensitivity Setting

The S-Series amplifier also provides an optional 0.775 V input sensitivity setting. If you determine that your application requires this sensitivity set- ting, please contact Crown Technical Support for more information.
