1.Serial Number
The Serial Number is used by Carver Professional to track units and establish their warranty status.
Be sure to record the serial number of all Carver Professional units, and to keep those records in a safe and secure location for future reference. Never remove the serial number, as this will void the warranty.
2.Output Connector
The Output Connector is a special non-shorting Euro Connector utilized for safety purposes. The first three terminals from the left are specifically for low impedance (4 & 8 ohm) speaker loads. Use only the left Common connection is for the 4 and 8 ohm loads. The next six connections are for distributed voltage loads, and only the common connection on the right side of the connector (viewed from the rear) is used with these output connections. One connector is provided for each channel of the amplifier.
3.Sequence Connector
The Sequence Connector is a 3-Pin Euro Style connector use to sequence a CV Series amplifier or group of CV series amplifiers ON. Providing a +12V DC current to the RCV terminal on the Sequence connector will cause the amplifier to turn ON if the Power Switch is in the Standby position. If you have a group of CV Series amplifiers, simply connect the +12V DC current to the first amplifier, then connect from the SEND terminal of the first amplifier to the RECV terminal of the second and so on. Once the +12V DC is present, the amplifiers will turn on sequentially at approximately two-second intervals. Removing the +12V DC current from the RECV terminal of the first amplifier will cause the group of amplifiers to turn OFF. More information on the connections for this feature is available later in this manual.
Important NOTE: The SEND terminal on the Sequence connector has a +15Vdc potential whenever the amplifier is “ON”. The User should take caution not to short this terminal to "Chassis Ground”. The +15Vdc supply, internal to the amplifier, could be damaged.
