Checking the ground fault surveillance function:

When the NRS 90224 is installed and the power amplifier is switched on, the green READY indicator (7) has to light. Utilizing an external switch to connect one pole of the 100V-loudspeaker network via a 47 k ohms resistor for approximately 5 seconds to ground potential, the corresponding red GROUND FAULT indicator (6) has to light and the READY fault message relay of the INPUT MODULE NRS 90225 drops while the green READY indicator (7) stays lit. After releasing the button, the indication and the fault message are maintained. The TEST button (3) has to be used to reset the ground fault surveillance function. For further details on checking the function with the REMOTE MODULE NRS 90222 being included in your installation, please refer to the PROMATRIX handbook.

9.19"-case and 19“-rack-shelf system installation

Note

Operation of the power amplifiers DPA 4120 and DPA 4140 with enclosure cover plates detached is

 

strictly prohibited.

 

 

When mounting the power amplifiers within rack-cases or rack-shelf systems make sure to provide sufficient airflow. The space between the rear panel of the amplifier and the inner wall of the rack-case has to be at least 60

mmx 330 mm. A free space of at least 100 mm above the rack-shelf system is needed to provide sufficient air circulation. Since it is possible that during operation the temperature inside the rack system increases by 10° C, the maximum allowable ambient temperatures of the rest of the incorporated modules and appliances within a specific rack-shelf or rack-case have to be taken into careful consideration.

Note

To ensure trouble-free operation of the appliance, the maximum permissible ambient temperature of

 

+40°C is not to be exceeded.

 

 

10.Ground lift switch CIRCUIT A TO CHASSIS SWITCH

The ground lift switch CIRCUIT A TO CHASSIS SWITCH (19) provides the possibility to separate the signal ground from the enclosure (ground potential). This is mainly meant to eliminate noise-problems which are introduced through ground-loops, without jeopardizing the security. In case several appliances within a single rack-case or rack-shelf are furnished with ground lift switches, it is recommended to set all devices but one to "ungrounded“. Set one appliance to "grounded". When set to "ungrounded", the impedance between signal ground and enclosure is : 100 k ohms // 100 nF. It is needed to maintain EMV protection.
