ICS™ 4200 Power Amplifier
The ICS™ 4200 is a 4-channel power amplifier designed for years of reliable‚ flawless operation under rigorous use. This amplifier offers the sonic superiority and unsurpassed reliability for which Peavey is famous‚ while remaining surprisingly compact. Advanced technology and extensive protection circuitry allow operation with greater efficiency into difficult loads and power conditions. The SPS™ (Speaker Protection System) circuitry ensures trouble-free operation into loads as low as 4 Ohms. This amplifier is ideal for paging systems, foreground and background music distribution as well as other applications that may require multiple zones. Each channel delivers 200 Watts of power!
Although the ICS 4200 amplifier is quite simple to operate and is housed in ultra-strong steel chassis, improper use can be dangerous. This amplifier is very high-powered and can put out high voltages and sizable currents. Always use safe operating techniques when operating this amplifier.

Unpacking
Upon unpacking, inspect the amplifier. If you find any damage, notify your supplier immediately. Only the consignee may institute a claim with the carrier for damage incurred during shipping. Be sure to save the carton and all packing materials. Should you ever need to ship the unit back to Peavey Electronics, one of its offices, service centers, or the supplier, use only the original factory packing. If the shipping carton is unavailable, contact Peavey to obtain a replacement.
Mounting
The ICS 4200 amplifier will mount in standard 19" racks.
Security Cover
A security cover is provided to prevent inadvertent level adjustments. It is designed to permit monitoring of the various LEDs without removal. To remove the cover‚ simply remove the Phillips-head mounting screw.
Cooling Requirements
The ICS 4200 amplifier uses a forced-air cooling system to maintain a low, even operating temperature. Air is drawn into the amplifier via a fan located in the back of the unit and courses through the cooling fins of the tunnel-configured channel heat sinks. The air then exhausts through the front panel slots. If the heat sinks get too hot‚ a sensing circuit will activate the protective muting system to protect the amplifier. When the internal temperature reaches a safe level‚ the amplifier will automatically return to normal operation. It is important that both the front and rear of the unit have enough space to allow the cooling air to enter and escape. If the amp is rack mounted, do not use doors or covers on the front of the rack; the intake air must flow without resistance. If you are using racks with closed backs, make sure that there is one (1) standard rack space opening for every three mounted power amplifiers. If not rack-mounted‚ allow 6" of clearance on all sides.
