  • Page 6: Battery Operation 24 V Dc

    3.2 Battery Operation 24 V DC The amplifier DPA 4411 can either be operated on the AC mains or connected to an external 24 V battery power source. Switching to battery operation is accomplished via internal relay. The battery has to be connected to the corresponding socket (23) on the rear panel of the appliance using insulated AMP flat connectors 6.3x0.8 mm.
  • Page 7: Outputs

    5. Outputs 5.1 POWER OUTPUT All power outputs are balanced and floating. When factory-shipped, the outputs are pre-configured for the connection of 100 V loudspeaker systems. Connection is achieved through plugging the supplied 8-pole socket into the connection strip (19). Switching the output transformer allows to change the output voltage to 70 V, 50 V or 20 V (see paragraph 8).
  • Page 8: Power Output 100 V - Double Output Power

    5.4 POWER OUTPUT 100 V - Double Output Power If the output power of one output of the DPA 4411 is not sufficient to feed all cabinets within a speaker network and dividing the speaker chain is not an option, it is possible to double the output power by coupling the outputs of two amplifiers.
  • Page 9: Indicators And Fault Notification

    Note Prior to the first operation of the amplifier DPA 4411, you have to set the amplifier address using the two Hexadecimal Code switches ADDRESS (18) (refer to the PROMATRIX handbook) and using a waterproof marker pen mark the setting in the ADDRESS label field on the rear panel of the appliance.
  • Page 10: Ground Fault Indicator

    8. Switching The Output Voltage (refer to qualified service personnel only!) The DPA 4411 offers output voltages of either 20 V, 50 V, 70 V or 100 V. The output voltage i s factory-preset to 100 V. Switching the output voltage to 20 V, 50 V or 70 V should only be carried out by qualified DYNACORD service personnel.
  • Page 11: Additional Functions And Features (Refer To Qualified Service Personnel Only!)

    Note After changing the output voltage, use a waterproof marker pen to note the correct, newly set value on the label-field OUTPUT VOLTAGE (20) on the rear of the appliance. Additionally note the corresponding output configuration (see diagram 5) on the label OUT CONFIG TYPE (20).

    Operating the DPA 4411 without cover-plate is not admissible. When incorporating the DPA 4411 into a 19" flightcase or 19" rack system, make sure to leave room for sufficient air-flow. Between the amplifier’s rear plate and the inside-wall of the surrounding enclosure has to be at least 60 mm x 330 mm of space until up to the enclosures top or its ventilation gaps.
  • Page 15: Ground Lift Switch Circuit

    11. Ground Lift Switch CIRCUIT TO CHASSIS SWITCH Using the ground lift switch CIRCUIT TO CHASSIS SWITCH (22) lets you separate the audio signal ground from the enclosure ground (safety earthing). This helps to solve problems with hum or noise without jeopardizing safety standards.
