A CA8000D-Series amp is well suited to a wide range of applications; it is equally at home when used in fixed installations or travelling under the harshest touring conditions.
2.1 Location / Assembly / Ventillation • The CA8000D-Series amplifier is a 2 RU high (3.5”) x 19'' wide rack module. It is important to recognize that the amplifier is a heat source and should not be placed next to other equipment that is susceptible to heat, nor should the amplifier itself be exposed to high temperatures from other nearby equipment.
2.4 Auxillary Ground Lug All CA8000D-Series amplifiers are equipped with a signal ground lug. This lug is NOT intended as a primary AC power ground, which instead should be connected to the building ground by means of the power cord.
AC mains voltage is substandard (sagging). The CA8000D-Series CLIP indicator system takes into account the variations in the AC mains voltage, always giving a true indication even if the AC voltage varies. When working at high levels with pop and rock musical styles, it is normal for the CLIP indicators to illuminate briefly at the rhythm of the low frequencies.
3. Operation and Usage 3.3 Indicators (cont’d) TEMP (thermal protection indicator). This indicator illuminates to warn that the tunnel cooling temperature has risen above 90 degrees centigrade. If this occurs, the amplifier will be temporarily shut down by the thermal monitor circuit in order to protect it from damage.
