    F6-MF Owner’s Manual Multi-Impedance Modular Amplifier Important Safety Instructions The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage “ within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
  • Page 4 When The Device Is In Use • To prevent electric shock, do not remove the product cover as there are high voltage components inside. Refer all servicing to Atlas Sound. • Should any of the following irregularities occur during use, immediately switch off the power, disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet and contact Atlas Sound. Do not to attempt to continue operation with the product as this may cause fire or electric shock: • Smoke or strange smell coming from the unit. • If the product falls or the case is damaged.

    F6-MF amplifier card slots and are designed to deliver up to 250 Watts per channel. The Ultra Fast Recovery Switch Mode power supply is routed to each output module through quad-ganged connector contacts to minimize the impedance path allowing for maximum current delivery. Each amplifier module includes its own power supplied, high-current, low ESR...

    Channels can operate independently of one another, allowing for example, one or two channels to be designated for background paging while the remaining channels can be used with the night club's dance floor system. Each channel itself can produce 250 watts at 4Ω or 70.7V at 0.15% THD. When all channels are driven with a sine wave simultaneously to full power, continuous output is 170 Watts at 4Ω or 170 Watts into 70.7V. Because of the PRDC technology under real life audio power requirements, the F6-MF can deliver over 250 Watts dynamic power all channels driven. Refer to the specification page for full details. 1601 Jack McKay Blvd. • Ennis, Texas 75119 U.S.A. Telephone: 800.876.3333 • Fax: 800.765.3435 AtlasSound.com...

    8. FM250 Amplifier Module Channel Slots T he F6-MF is shipped with no FM250 amplifier modules. There are 6 empty card slots in a F6-MF . Each slot is shipped with a blank filler panel covering each unoccupied slot. Note: If a slot is not being used, it is important that the blank cover plate is installed. Without blank cover plate, amplifier cooling issues may occur.

    Signal Signal Ready Ready Speaker Output Speaker Output Class 2 Wiring Class 2 Wiring 1. Module Status Indicators Note: They also parallel Status LED on the front panel of the F6-MF panel. Ready T his LED will illuminate Green when an FM250 power module is installed on the appropriate channel and the F6-MF is turned on. Signal T he channel Signal LED will illuminate Green when the FM250 amplifier output signal produces a minimum 1 Watt output. Limit T he Limit LED will illuminate Yellow under load conditions. If the FM250 function switch is set to Limit then the LED acts as a maximum level indicator. If the FM250 channel Limit function is off, the LED reacts as a Clip indicator. Also, under Low Impedance loads, this LED serves as a current Limit indictor. T he Protect LED will illuminate Red during one the following conditions. No output will occur while this LED is Protect illuminated. It will reset itself after the condition has been corrected.

    Do not force the card. Realign if necessary. 6. A fter the module is pushed in and in contact with the back plane of the PCB assembly mating connector, firmly press the module in completing the connection. If the module plate is flush to the F6-MF , the module is fully seated. Insert the two screws from the cover pate. Some minor alignment may be required.

    Owner’s Manual Multi-Impedance Modular Amplifier Level Control Security Cover The F6-MF comes with a tamper-proof level control security cover. There are two screws that hold the security cover in place covering all six level controls. Optional Input Module The F6-MF has a variety of optional accessory input modules available. Please contact Atlas for a current list. Prior to installing any optional input module, please read the installation sheet for that model completely.
  • Page 13: Placement Of The F6-Mf

    Placement of the F6 Turn off all equipment before making connections. Mount the F6-MF in a standard width 19" rack. It can be mounted above or below anything that does not generate excessive heat. Although the unit’s chassis is shielded against radio frequency and electromagnetic interference, extremely high fields of RFI and EMI should be avoided.
