The DAX amplifiers offer helpful power connections for related equipment:
three 120-VAC three-pin grounded outlets, and a floating auxiliary DC power
output (28 VDC, 1.2 A) that can be used for Rauland's Director Series control
panels, preamplifiers, graphic equalizer, and other equipment.
The amplifiers come with black-enamel face panels. Optional brushed-
chrome dress panels-- the RP2525 (DAX6O) and RP2700 (DAX120)--are available.
UNPACKING

INSTALLATION
The amplifier should be rack-mounted where there is adequate ventilation,
a moderate temperature, an AC power outlet, and provisions for grounding.
The rack should have the standard 19-inch width and a vertical space of at
least 5¼ inches (DAX6O) or 7 inches (DAX120).

    Grounding CAUTION DO NOT DISCONNECT THE THIRD WIRE ON THE POWER PLUG. THIS WIRE GROUNDS THE AMPLIFIER'S CHASSIS TO PREVENT A POSSIBLE SHOCK HAZARD. IF AN ADAPTER IS USED TO CONNECT THE PLUG TO A TWO-PRONG SOCKET, MAKE SURE THAT THE AMPLI- FIER'S CHASSIS IS CONNECTED TO A PROVEN EARTH GROUND.

When the two center-tap terminals are linked together, either one of them may be connected to the "GND"...
  • Page 6: 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 1105 watts (DAX120). Although the amplifier circuits by themselves consume no more than 175 watts (DAX60) or 345 watts (DAX120), connecting another device to the DC output could consume anoth- er 40 watts of power, and a total load of 720 watts could be connected to the three AC sockets.

    (at the upper left corner of the DAX6O, or the lower left corner of the DAX120)). If the problem does not lie in the load or the connections, one of the breakers may be defective. Disconnect the load and call your Rauland distribu- tor. Page 7 7/87...
  • Page 8: Servicing Information

    You will have to remove the front cover to access main printed circuit board. The DAX60 has a single 16-pin connector labeled "T" on the schematic; the pins are numbered from bottom to top on the board. The DAX120 has two 16-pin connectors: the top connector and the top half of the bottom connector are referred to as "Jl"...
  • Page 9 On both amplifiers, driver transistors Q505 and Q506 are screwed to the "L" bracket that is fastened to the large heat sink from inside the chassis. The power transistors (Q507-Q508 on the DAX60, Q5Ol-Q504 on the DAX120) are fastened directly to the large heat sink from the outside (to access them, The transistors are numbered in ascending order, remove the protective cover).
  • Page 10 (3) Before installing a power transistor (Q507-Q508 on the DAX60, Q5Ol-Q504 on the DAX120), obtain an appropriate Silpad ® insulator. If a mica insulator is used instead, coat both sides of it with silicone grease (Dow-Corning Fit the insulator between the transistor and the DC4 or an equivalent).
  • Page 11 DAX60 Circuit Description Refer to the attached schematic, KC1546, to trace the circuit descriptions that follow. Input and Preamplifier Circuits: Resistor Rl and Capacitors Cl and C507 reject Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). RVl is the input LEVEL control (potentiometer), which controls the signal level that is applied to the DAX's preamplifier circuits.
  • Page 12 Protective circuits: There are several protections against excessive cur- rent. Transistors Q4 and Q7 are current limiters. If a short occurs across the audio output, the following sequence of events will occur: (1) the DC vol- tage across Resistors R29 and R32 will drop; (2) this drop will drive Transis- tors Q4 and Q7 into conduction;...
