    They can be driven to their rated power output by an input signal as low as 0.3 volts. Their transformer-isolated, 25-volt balanced output matches the output of Rauland's communication panels; they also have a 70.7-volt balanced output. Their outputs can operate with a split center tap with Rauland's ® ®...

    2. If the rack's holes are tapped, select the #10 machine screws (WA202). Turret-Mounting (DAX6O only) The rack-mounting procedures can be used to install the DAX6O in a Rauland Control Turret. However, if the turret’s internal rails are used and the amplifier is oriented with its front panel facing the rear of the turret, an optional MK1O Mounting Kit will be needed.

    NKI1480B DAX60 and DAX120 Amplifiers —Installation Input Connections The input is unbalanced. The input screw terminals are labeled "COM" (-) and "INPUT" (+), respectively. The terminal strip is located on the lower right corner, as viewed from the rear of the chassis. The signal source should deliver at least 300 millivolts into a 13-kilohm load.
  • Page 8: Grounding The Center Tap

    The amplifier output transformer can be configured for split-center-tap operation with symmetrical output voltages on both sides of the center tap. This is intended ® for special applications with Rauland systems such as the Telecenter 5000 and the ® Responder 3000.

    NKI1480B DAX60 and DAX120 Amplifiers —Installation power source, such as Rauland's Model 6430 Pink-Noise Source and Model 6431 1/3-Octave Equalizer. Do not mix floating and grounded accessories. Power Connection Plug the power cord into a 120-V, 60-Hz, three-wire grounded outlet that can provide at least 935 watts (DAX6O) or 11O5 watts (DAX12O).

    NKI1480B DAX60 and DAX120 Amplifiers —Installation fuse. Use a fast-blow fuse: 2.5 Amps for the DAX6O, 5 Amps for the DAX12O (but only half of these values if the amplifier is operating from a 240-VAC line). The fuse holder is on the rear of the amplifier, below the power transformer. You will need a Phillips screwdriver to remove the center plug;...

    NKI1480B DAX60 and DAX120 Amplifiers —Installation Service Information Do not attempt to service your amplifiers unless you are an authorized technician. Important: he information that follows is intended for qualified service technicians only Locating the Test Points Whenever possible, take the voltage readings on the large connector on the main printed circuit board.

    NKI1480B DAX60 and DAX120 Amplifiers —Installation On the DAX12O: Connect the meter's negative lead to the amplifier common at Connector "J1-13." As you locate each DC voltage on the schematic, note the number of the nearest "J" terminal in that leg of the circuit and, if possible, take the readings between such a “J”...
  • Page 13: Removing And Replacing Transistors

    NKI1480B DAX60 and DAX120 Amplifiers —Installation Removing and Replacing Transistors Transistors are inherently long-lived devices that normally should not need replacement. If, however, systematic troubleshooting indicates a problem, observe these precautions when removing and replacing transistors: Transistors can be damaged by excessive heat, so use a small soldering iron when removing or replacing a transistor with solder connections.

    NKI1480B DAX60 and DAX120 Amplifiers —Installation Step 3. After obtaining a high-resistance reading (at least 100 kilohms) between each transistor case and the heat sink, re-establish the connection between the negative side of C503 and the standard connector (DAXI2O only).

RV1 is the input LEVEL control (potentiometer), which controls the signal that is applied to the preamplifier circuits. Capacitors C2 and C9 govern the low-frequency response of the input signal, to protect horn-type speakers.
