BPA-2060/BPA-2120/BPA-2240/BPA-2480 Users ''MUST'' follow the orders below to connect the BPA with BCU-4830A/BCU-4875A battery charger. 1. Connect the four 12VDC batteries to BCU-4830A/BCU-4875A battery charger. 2. Connect the 48VDC backup power input terminals of BPA to the 2 output terminals on BCU- 4830A or the 6 output terminals on BCU-4875A.
Hardware installation Bridged output Bridge the two channel of BPA amplifier such as 120W x 2CH (BPA-2120) to 240W x 1CH, 240W x 2CH (BPA-2240) to 480W x 1CH, 240W x 2CH (BPA-2240) to 480W x 1CH, 480W x 2CH. (BPA- 2480) to 960W x 1CH.
Parallel output 1. Connect an audio input on Channel 1. 2. Turn the input gain to "OFF" position on Channel 2, but keep the input gain on Channel 1 be adjustable. 3. Connect the balanced output on Channel 1 to the balanced input on Channel 2 (XLR connector or euro-block connector).
Troubleshooting Problem Troubleshooting 1. Check if the voltage is under the normal range Amplifier does not start-up when the AC (115VAC or 230VAC). mains is connected. 2. Check if the AC mains fuse is broken. No back-up power when 48VDC power supply Check if the voltage is under the normal range (48 - 53 is connected.
