ControlSpace Designer
Before configuring your PowerShareX amplifiers, download the latest version of ControlSpace Designer at PRO.BOSE.COM.
If all the network connections and settings are done correctly, ControlSpace Designer should automatically identify the PowerShareX
amplifier on the network.
With a network connection in place and ControlSpace Designer software installed, use the Hardware Manager tool inside
ControlSpace Designer to scan and update the amplifier firmware.
For full details on using ControlSpace Designer to configure, control, and monitor the amplifier or systems built with Bose Professional
networked system electronics, consult the ControlSpace Designer help system.
Setup Placement
For placement of the amplifier, keep the following in mind:
• Make sure that air can circulate freely from front to back for adequate ventilation. There are vents on the front, back, and sides of
the amplifier.
• Do not cover or block amplifier vents.
• Make sure the chassis is protected from heat and kept away from direct heat sources, such as heating vents and radiators.
• Secure both front and rear brackets to the rack.
• Connect the AC Mains connector to a circuit breaker.
• Install the amplifier far from EMF-emitting devices.
• Avoid placing the amplifier close to heat generating sources.
Rack Mounting
CAUTION: Due to ventilation requirements, do not place the product in a confined space such as in a wall cavity or in an
enclosed cabinet. Do not allow the chassis to exceed the maximum operating temperature of 35 °C (95 °F). Be aware of
conditions in an enclosed rack that may increase the temperature above room-ambient conditions. If the amplifier becomes too
hot, it will go into a thermal protection mode and mute all outputs.
CAUTION: Leave 1 RU of space between every collection of four amplifiers to guarantee adequate air flow.
PowerSpaceX amplifiers are designed to fit standard 48-centimeter (19-inch) rack equipment, occupying one rack-unit (RU) in height
(4.4 cm/1.7 in), requiring a mounting depth of 35.8 centimeters (14 inches) from the front rack rail. Use four fasteners with washers
(not supplied) to mount the amplifier front panel rack ears to the equipment rack rails.
Cooling
• The ventilation openings must not be impeded by any item, keep a distance of at least 50 cm from the front and rear ventilation
openings of the amplifier.
• PowerShareX amplifiers implement a forced-air cooling system to maintain constant operating temperatures. Air enters from the
front panel, exiting at the back of the amplifier.
• The cooling system features variable-speed DC fans controlled by the heat-sink mounted sensors. This ensures that fan noise and
internal dust accumulation are kept to a minimum.
• In the rare event of overheating, sensing circuits shut down all channels until the amplifier cools down to a safe operating
temperature. Normal operation is resumed automatically without the need for user intervention.
