PF1-500R Amplifier Module
The PF1-500R RHAON empowered power amplifier. was developed by Renkus-Heinz engineers to match the loud-
speaker's high performance transducers. It includes comprehensive signal processing and protective circuitry along with
RHAON, which adds digital audio distribution and remotely located control and supervision to the loudspeaker. For addi-
tional information on RHAON, please refer to the RHAON Users Manual, Renkus-Heinz document # RH 611.
Input Connector
The female 3-pin XLR type INPUT connector con-
nects to the amplifiers 10 K Ohms, electronically bal-
anced input. It requires a 1.0 V signal for full rated
output.
Pin 2 is "hot" and pin 3 is "neutral". Pin 1 is chassis
ground. When the amplifier is connected to a bal-
anced source, the shield may either be lifted or con-
nected at the source end. The choice should be
made on the basis of minimum hum.
With an unbalanced source, connect the signal to pin
2 and source ground to pin 3 (connecting the signal to
pin 3 is not recommended. Note: Improper operation
results when only pin 2 or only pin 3 and pin 1
(ground) are used for an unbalanced input.
WARNING
1. The AC Mains must be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
2. The PF1-500R operates from either 110/120 V, 50/60 Hz or 220/240V 50/60 Hz. Check the Voltage Se-
lector setting before connecting power to the amplifier.
3. To remove power from the CF Series loudspeaker, disconnect the AC power cord.

Looping Connector
The male 3-pin XLR type "looping" connector is used
to "loop through" to additional CF Series loudspeakers.
It has "straight through" connections from the Input
connector
Status LEDs.
The green "POWER" LED indicates the status of the
amplifier's power. It turns bright green when the ampli-
fier is turned "on".
The green "SIGNAL" LED indicates the presence of an
audio signal. It flashes when a signal is present.
The red "OVERDRIVE" LED flashes red when the am-
plifier is being overdriven
The red "THERMAL" LED glows when the amplifier's
over-temperature sensor has shut the amplifier down.
Volume "Up" and "Down" Push Buttons
Adjust the loudspeaker's output level up and down.
Power On/Off Switch
This switch is used to turn the amplifier "On" or turn it
"Off". In the "Off" position, the amplifier is disconnected
from the AC Mains.
Voltage Selector Switch
This switch selects between 110/120 V and 220/240 V
50/60 Hz operation.
AC Mains Fuse
Protective power line fuse; replace only with correct
size and type.
If the fuse blows a second time, the amplifier needs
service.
PF1-200 Amplifier Module
Your PF1-200 power amplifier was developed by Renkus-Heinz engineers to match the loudspeaker's high per-
formance transducers and includes comprehensive signal processing and protective circuitry.

nects to the amplifiers 10 K Ohms, electronically bal-
anced input. It requires a 1.0 V signal for full rated
output.

(ground) are used for an unbalanced input.
WARNING
1. The AC Mains must be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
2. To remove power from the CF Series loudspeaker, disconnect the AC power cord.
Looping Connector
The male 3-pin XLR type "looping" connector is used to
"loop through" to additional CF Series loudspeakers. It
has "straight through" connections from the Input con-
nector
Status LEDs.
The green "POWER" LED indicates the status of the
amplifier's power. It turns bright green when the ampli-
fier is turned "on".
The green "SIGNAL" LED indicates the presence of an
audio signal. It flashes when a signal is present.
The yellow "LIM" LED indicates the amplifier's protec-
tive limiter is being activated by a high signal level. A
limited amount of flashing during operation is normal; a
continuos glow indicates the amplifier is being over-
driven and the signal level should be reduced.
Attenuation Control
This control adjusts the loudspeaker's output level.
When it is turned fully clockwise, the amplifier will have
its maximum voltage gain and will deliver its rated out-
put when driven by its rated signal.
As a general rule, setting the control in the full clock-
wise position provides maximum headroom; setting the
control at a lower level maximizes the signal/noise
level.
Power On/Off Switch
This switch is used to turn the amplifier "On" or turn it
"Off". In the "Off" position, the amplifier is disconnected
from the AC Mains.
"Push To Reset" Circuit Breaker
The "Push To Reset" Circuit Breaker acts as a protec-
tive power line fuse and automatically turns the power
to the amplifier "Off" in case of overload. If the switch
shuts "Off" during normal use, push it back to the "On"
position just one time. Do not attempt to operate the
amplifier by holding the switch in the "on" position. If it
will not stay on by itself, the amplifier needs service.
AC Mains Voltage
The PF1-200 features a universal power supply that
operates from 100 - 240 Volts, 50/60 Hz.
