  • Page 6: Power Switch

    To set the current limit: 1. Reset the trimpot P1 turning fully clockwise. 2. Connect the amplifier to half it’s minimum load (10ohm for DCM500, 20ohm for DCM250, 40ohm for DCM120). 3. Run an rms 1kHz sine wave into the amplifier and set the input level so that you read 425mVDC (DCM250/500) or 825mVDC (DCM120) across the emitter resistor, measuring the side which has the higher current (measured as a voltage across the emitter resistors).
  • Page 7: Power Amp

    The thermal cutout and fan is controlled by a microprocessor (PIC12C509A). The temperature is sensed using a 10k@25degC NTC. The fan is normally off and turns on to full speed at 60degC. This temperature is fixed and not adjustable. The thermal cutout temperature is set using the trimpot accessible through the hole in the top left side of the chassis return (only visible with the lid off).
  • Page 8: Fuse Sizes

    DCM120 – 80 ohms DCM250 – 40 ohms DCM500 – 20 ohms XLR Audio Input and Parallel Output The DCM series includes both male and female 3 pin XLR connectors per channel. While the female is normally used as the input to the amplifier, both XLR’s are connected in parallel so either will work.

    TESTING PROCEDURE OF DCM 120/DCM 250/DCM 500 I. PRE-TESTING (of complete sets). • Check 1.1 All screw for tightness (Bridge rectifier and transistor bolts) 1.2 Earth Connection for good contact (solder and crimpling) 1.3 This setup has signal input to the Amplifier through male (XLR) 1.4 Check with Multimeter that there is a DC resistance of about 250 Ω...

    II. FINAL TESTING (This setup should have signal input to Amplifier through female (XLR) (The limiter link should be out of circuit initially.) 1. Connect the Amplifier to the setup, set voltage selector switch to 240V 2. Switch ON the set to 240VAC. 3.
