HPA Series Owner’s Manual WARNING - When The Device Is In Use • WARNING: For the terminals marked with symbol of may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock. The external wiring connected to the terminals requires installation by an instructed person or the used of ready-made leads or cords.
Introduction Thank you for purchasing the AtlasIED HPA Series amplifier. The AtlasIED high power amplifier, “HPA” Series, is designed for use in either commercial 25V / 70V / 100V distributed systems or low impedance 8 or 4 ohm applications that require amplifiers to handle multiple impedance loads. The HPA2408 is compact and lightweight in comparison to other models delivering similar performance.
2. Level Control Security Cover The HPA Series comes with two tamper-proof level control security covers. There are two screws that hold each security cover in place covering the four level controls on each side. 3. Ventilation The HPA2408 amplifier features a multistage fan assist cooling system that draws cool air in from the rear of the amp and exhausts the hot air out the front panel.

It has an IEC-600320-C14 receptacle with retainer clip and is provided with a removable 1.8 meter 14 gauge NEMA 5-15 power cord. Insert the IEC connector of the power cord into the IEC receptacle of the HPA Series amplifier making sure it is properly secured using the retainer clip. For non North American applications, refer to local electrical code requirements to select the proper mating power cord.
HPA Series Owner’s Manual Rear Panel 6. DIP Switches for Input Sensitivity, Select 2-Channel or Parallel Mode, Assign BUSS The HPA2408’s 8 channels are controlled in groups of paired channels, 1 & 2, 3 & 4, 5 & 6, 7 & 8. Each pair of channels has a switch to assign the amplifier’s channel gain (input sensitivity) and the input’s wiring mode of parallel or 2-channel amplifier load configuration.
HPA Series Owner’s Manual Rear Panel 8. Remote Turn ON Terminals The HPA amplifier can be turned on or activated from a remote location. Note: In order for the amplifier to go from Standby mode to Active mode, the amplifier switch must be in the Up (On) position, with either the Contact Closure in place or DC voltage (5-24VDC) present. One of these two must be active to turn on the amplifier’s power supply.

10. Loudspeaker Connections The HPA Series amplifiers ship with a protective plate covering the loudspeaker terminal pins. This is required by safety approval agencies due to the high voltage levels produced. Remove this cover and install the Euro Block type connector to connect loudspeakers to the amplifier. Any connections to the Euro Block type connector are to be made by a qualified electrical technician.
HPA Series Owner’s Manual Placement of the Amp Turn off all equipment before making connections. Install the amplifier in a standard-width 19” rack. It can be mounted above or below anything that does not generate excessive heat. Although the unit’s chassis is shielded against radio frequency and electromagnetic interference, extremely high fields of RF and EMI should be avoided.
Never plug an HPA Series amplifier into a circuit without knowing what other products are connected to the same circuit. 2. Never plug an HPA Series amplifier into a power strip. Always connect directly to a dedicated circuit wall receptacle. Power strips are not designed to deliver high amounts of continuous or peak current.
HPA Series Owner’s Manual HPA Amplifier Dante™ Accessory Card Installation The HPA amplifier series allows for an optional HPA-DAC8 8-Channel Dante™ receiver card to be installed into the HPA amplifier. Contact AtlasIED for a list of accessory cards. Note: Accessory card installation must be done by a qualified technician.
