Page 4: Installation
The DH-500 may be installed out of sight in many appli- cations, where its power can be controlled by the AC switching of a preamplifier control unit. However, any high power amplifier may draw enormous amounts of cur- rent, so you should make... -

3. Check your work carefully after each step. The DH-500 amplifier is a versatile component with sophisticated circuitry which has been made remarkably easy to build by individuals with many years ofexperience in the design and engineering of the finest performing audio kits, and in the preparation of their manuals. - Page 7 4. Allow the connection to cool undisturbed. Remember that the connection is made by the solder, not by mechanically attaching the wire to the terminal. Usually the wire is looped through the lug and crimped in place, but some prefer to just place it through the hole and rely on the stiffness of the wire to hold it while soldering.
- Page 8 MECHANICAL ASSEMBLY 1 0 For security in shipping, the power transformer and the amplifier module have been fastened to the chassis. Remove the chassis cover, the inner front panel and the larger front plate, and set these aside. Be particularly careful in handling the amplifier module.
- Page 9 S e l e c t the plastic encased relay, the longer L-shaped mounting bracket, and 2 sets of hard- ware. Insert the screws through the bracket with the bracket foot pointing away from the lugs at the opposite end of the relay. ‘ lighten this hardware se- curely, but do not risk breaking the plastic.
- Page 10 connections which pass substantial current, the heavier wire is used. Other connections need only the lighter gauge wire. Connect the wires to the bottom of the module from the right side, 23 0 Prepare a 9-1/2“r ed wire and connect one end to TS2 lug #6.
- Page 11 40 0 Prepare two 9” white wires. Connect one to eyelet #8 of the left board. (S). Connect the other to eyelet #6. (S). Bend these toward the bottom, and twist them together. 41 0 Prepare a 3” white wire and connect it to eyelet #3. (S).
- Page 12 62 0 Prepare a 3” white wire. Connect one end to RY lug #4. (S). Connect the other end to red output termi- nal LR. (S). 63 [7 Prepare another 3” white wire. Connect one end to RY lug #6. (S). Connect the other end to output terminal RR.
- Page 13 80 0 Select the triad of black, red and yellow wires from under the module. These will be connected to the right end of the terminal strip, and to prevent the heat from the large resistors from melting the insu- lation on the wires, connect the wires from behind the terminal strip and keep them against the chas- sis, so the resistors will be above them.
