3 to 4 seconds after the short is removed. Remote Master ON/OFF Control Jack. This jack allows the PA635X to be powered on and off by a positive DC voltage ranging between 4 and 30 volts (11mA @ 12 V). Specifically, it permits the 12 volt common CO (Control Output) or zone STATUS outputs from the Xantech ZPR68 to power one or more PA635X's ON and OFF automatically with zone ON/OFF commands.
NOTE: The PA635X may also be powered ON/OFF with an external AC line switch into which the power cord of the PA635X is plugged (such as the switched AC outlet of a preamp, timer, etc. with a 5A minimum rating). For this type of operation, leave the POWER switch depressed to the MANUAL ON position.

For instance, the 12 volt common CO (Control Output) of the Xantech ZPR68 preamp will power the PA635X ON and OFF automatically with the first zone ON and last zone OFF commands. The DC Voltage must be applied continuously to retain the ON condition and drop to less than 0.5 Volt to switch to the OFF condition.
240 VAC 50 Hz on the 240 V version). INSTALLATION - PHYSICAL LOCATION AND MOUNTING When you mount the PA635X, you should plan its location carefully. Pay close attention to each of the following factors: 1. The amplifier is convection cooled. That is, it depends on the natural free flow of air up through the slot perforations in the bottom plate, over the internal heat dissipating fins, then out the top cover, for adequate cooling.

When mounting in a 19" (483mm) rack, adding a single RU (Rack Unit) above and below the PA635X will improve convection in heavy use applications.
(or any combination of speakers) is 4-Ohms minimum. 5. Be sure to observe correct polarity by connecting the "+" and "–" terminal from each channel on the PA635X to the corresponding "+" and "–" terminals on each speaker. This will ensure correct "phasing" - see Fig. 5 and Speaker Phasing below.
CONTROL terminal allows the power to the PA635X to be turned ON and OFF by a remotely applied DC Voltage. Fig. 7 illustrates how a PA635X can be switched ON and OFF via the switched AC outlet on the rear of a preamplifier.
+12V CO (control output) from the ZPR68-10 is used to remotely turn the PA635X ON/OFF. When any one of the zones is turned on, the common +12V CO goes high, turning each of the PA635X's ON.
Sound cuts in and out every 3 to 5 seconds. PA635X does not turn OFF when REMOTE input voltage goes to 0 Volts. PA635X becomes very warm, shuts OFF, but does not come back ON automatically. One or more front panel LED’s glow red.
