Primary Circuit Breakers (8) The CS 6000/ CS 4000 has separate power supplies for each channel each protected from overload with its own circuit breaker. Efforts should be made to correct the cause of the overload, first by disconnecting one output at a time, and then one speaker at a time until the bad cable or damaged speaker is isolated.
When a 2-channel amplifier is operated in the Bridge mode, it is converted into a single-channel unit with a power rating equal to the sum of the power rating for each channel, at a load of twice that of the single-channel rating. For example, the CS 6000 is rated at 2900 Watts per channel into 2 Ohms.
Operation Modes Stereo Operation For stereo (dual channel) operation, turn the amplifier off and set the mode select switches on the back panel to the OUT (extended) position. In this mode, both channels operate independently of each other with their input attenuators controlling their respective levels.
The CS 6000/ CS 4000 amplifier incorporates several circuits to protect both themselves and loudspeakers under vir- tually any situation. Peavey has attempted to make the amplifiers as foolproof as possible by making them immune to short and open circuits, mismatched loads, DC voltage, and overheating. If a channel goes into the Distortion Detection Technique or DDT™...
Protection Features Turn-On/Turn-Off Protection At power-up, the amplifier stays in mute mode with outputs disconnected for several seconds while the power supplies charge and stabilize. When power is removed, the mute mode engages so that no thumps or pops are heard.
A CS 6000/ CS 4000 amplifier requires no routine maintenance and should never need any internal adjustment during its lifetime. Your CS 6000/ CS 4000 amplifier is very powerful and can be potentially dangerous to loudspeakers and humans alike. It is your responsibility to read the Important Precautions section in the front of this manual and to make sure that the amplifier is installed, wired and operated properly.
