finally giving event organisers an easy-to-use and affordable method to reduce their reliance on diesel generators. The belair AMPLIFIER module is a battery powered audio amplifier available in two versions: ● F1K0 - Four 1000W outputs ●... -
Page 4: Safety
If necessary, only dry powder fire extinguishers are suitable for the product. USE ONLY the original cables designed for the equipment. Belair Technology SA are not liable for damage caused by third party equipment that may render your warranty invalid. - Page 5 If the site installation requires grounding of the system to earth with a rod, the grounding point for the belair TOWER should be the JUNCTION where an earthing stud is available on the back panel.

Page 6: Caring For Your Equipment
CARING FOR YOUR EQUIPMENT Regularly clean the air intake filters at the rear of the module - the covers can be popped off with a small flat screwdriver. The front filters can be removed and cleaned by removing the top cover. IN THE BOX AMPLIFIER powerstation DC Power Cable... -
Page 7: Installation
INSTALLATION It is recommended to install all belair equipment in suitable 19-inch enclosures. The rear mounting kit should be used at all times to avoid stressing the front panel flanges. User Manual R1.0 7 / 30... -
Page 8: Using The Equipment
USING THE EQUIPMENT Turning on Connect the DC power cable between the JUNCTION and the AMPLIFIER with the JUNCTION turned off. Fully turn the collar locking mechanism (clockwise) to ensure proper contact. Turn on the JUNCTION and any connected RESERVOIRS by pressing the central power button. -
Page 9: Audio Inputs And Link
Audio inputs and link The XLR audio inputs are balanced +4dBu level and the source must be capable of providing this level to guarantee the full rated power of the amplifier. If using a source with RCA or jack output, we recommend using an Active Line Driver between the source and the amplifier to boost the signal and convert the single-ended signal to a differential signal. -
Page 10: Configuring The Dsp
CONFIGURING THE DSP The AMPLIFIER contains a digital signal processor (DSP) that is used to control the audio signal from the source (e.g mixer) to the loudspeakers. The DSP performs the following principal functions: ● Volume control ● Signal routing ●... -
Page 11: Saving & Loading Configurations
Synchronize Config: Download the currently selected configuration into the corresponding configuration preset of the processor. After downloading the configuration data, the plugin is in online mode and any changes to processing parameters will be downloaded immediately in real time. That is, the user interface is now “live.” Restore Config: Restore the data in the currently selected configuration to the factory defaults. -
Page 12: Recommended Workflow
Recommended workflow Set limiters, then crossovers according to the speaker manufacturers’ recommendation. Set inputs to 0dB and outputs to -72dB. Send audio signal from source, confirm the signal is present on the input bar monitors. Slowly turn up the output gain until the signal is audible and repeat for each channel. If there is no audible signal even with an input signal, check all speaker cabling and DSP routing. -
Page 13: Inputs & Routing Tab
Inputs & Routing Tab Set the ‘Inputs’ box to either ANALOG (to activate the AMPLIFIER XLR input connectors), or USB to stream music digitally from your computer. Note that the USB input is intended for initial setting of the DSP - long term stability is only guaranteed when using the ANALOG input. - Page 14 The names of the input can be changed (for example to Left In and Right In). The outputs can only be renamed from the Outputs Tab. The ‘Routing’ section allows you to map any of the two input channels to any of the four output channels to create various mono and stereo 2, 3 or 4 way systems.

Page 15: Outputs Tab
Outputs Tab For each of the four channels there is the following functions: ● Volume fader ○ Volume can also be changed by typing the desired value directly into the dark grey box ● Parametric Equaliser (PEQ) ● Crossover ● Finite Impulse Response filter Note that for the T2K0 AMPLIFIER;... -

Parametric EQ This function can be used to fine tune the speaker within the audio environment. User Manual R1.0 16 / 30... -
Page 17: Crossovers
Crossovers When using the AMPLIFIER, it is normal to use crossovers to send only suitable frequencies to each speaker (e.g bass to subwoofer). Refer to your loudspeaker manufacturer or supplier to correctly set crossovers and / or EQ. User Manual R1.0 17 / 30... -
Page 18: Compressor / Limiter
Compressor / Limiter The compressor should always be activated and configured as a limited (Ratio=50, Attack Time a minimum of 15ms) to protect your loudspeakers from being driven too hard which will damage the driver.

Page 25: Troubleshooting
TROUBLESHOOTING The most common encountered issues are listed below. If the problem cannot be resolved using these instructions, contact support@belairtechnology.com. No audio Possible cause Solution Amp not ready - it takes around 1 minute Wait until the power button LED is solid for the amp to be ready following a power blue. - Page 26 Amplifier turns off Possible cause Solution JUNCTION powerstation is out of battery Recharge JUNCTION RESERVOIR / JUNCTION switchover fail Turn off empty RESERVOIR, turn on once RESERVOIR is empty amplifier Overheating Wait - the module will attempt to cool down before reactivating. Problem with audio source Check there is an input signal in the DSP app.

Page 29: Introduction
INTRODUCTION CONNECTING SOLAR PANELS Solar panels are either nominally 12V or 24V. Since the belair system is nominally 48V, either 4 x 12V panels or 2 x 24V panels must be connected in series to generate sufficient voltage to charge the battery. - Page 30 Possible cause Solution Solar panel voltage too low Not enough panels connected in series. Must be 4 x 12V or 2 x 24V User Manual R1.0 30 / 30...
