P E N D I, AC Power Requirements

A P P E N D I X

AC Power Requirements

In the United States, the EVOi.324 is supplied with an Edison type plug. For other countries, the correct plug must be used in accordance with the local requirements. For Europe and the rest of the world the correct AC supply lead will be supplied.

Voltage Requirements

EVOi.324 will operate continuously provided the AC Voltage falls within the following ranges:

Standard AC Voltage	Voltage Range	Frequency
120v	+/- 10%	50/60Hz
230v	+/- 10%	50/60Hz

Brown-out Conditions

If the voltage falls below this range, the EVOi.324 will ‘brown-out’. During ‘brown-out’ the audio signal will momentarily mute during very high level program. Should the supply voltage permanently remain below this supply voltage, then the EVOi.324 will shut down. When the AC supply falls within the above stated ranges, EVOi.324 will switch on again, and operate normally.

To avoid ‘brown-out’ EVOi.324 should be operated with an AC supply that adequately falls within the above stated ranges.

Current Requirements

EVOi.324 will not draw a continuous current. Acting as a dynamic load on the AC supply, the current drawn will vary dependant on the operating level, e.g. quiet levels and loud levels in the program.

Understanding the amount of current drawn is essential when using EVOi.324.

The EVOi.324 is capable of drawing peak currents of up to 18 Amps. Any cabling used should be of a suitable gauge to reflect this. Inadequate cabling can cause large voltage drops over distance and potentially cause ‘brown-out’.

ALWAYS CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
