Welcomne
Thank you for purchasing our products. The power amplifier is specially designed for sound system in large stadium, tour, theater. Please take the time to study this manual so that you can obtain the best possible service from your amplifier.

Unpacking
Please unpack and inspect your amplifier for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Confirm the preset voltage of the power amplifier matches your local voltage rating ( Please refer to the print on the rear panel for detailed information). We also recommend that you save all packing materials so you will have them when need to return the power amplifier.

Support and Service
Please contact directly with the local SAE distributor, to get the quickest after-sale service and technical support. When need to contact with manufacturer, email and fax are available:

Important safety precautions
Our products has already taken the safe requirement in to consideration and all the finished products have been tested under the requirement of the government before sale. Due to the inner dangerous high voltage and electricity, we strongly recommend you read all instructions, warnings and cautions contained in this manual. It will increase the chance of getting shock by the electricity if the product falls down, recess in the appearance, soaked or there were some parts loose internal. If there are problems above, please turn off power immediately and send the defective units to local distributor for service.

Cleaning guide of the dust filter

warning: The first time cleaning of the strainer mesh should be right after installation.
Recommend to clean the strainer mesh quarterly.

Please do not run the product without the dust filter, or it makes the service life of the product shorten.
Such condition will be considered as no warranty.

Speakon output

warning: It can work from 2-16ohm in stereo or parallel mode.It can work good from 4ohm to 16ohm In bridge mode. We don’t suggest you use the amplifier under 4ohm bridge mode, it will short its normally use life or have some Unnecessary failure. The quality of your soldering is very important Virtual welding or soldering errors, Would be likely to affect the normal Use or even failure

Troubleshooting

After powered without any response
Measure the outlet with a multimeter to check if there is power available and when no multimeter, you can have a test pencil. If the power supply is normal and the amplifier still no response when powered then there is something wrong with the amplifier, need professional person to check it.

No signal output

1. Frist check if the signal input is right.
   warning: Check the connect of XLR, if the 2 and 3 reverted or the ground is reliable. Diferent circuitry design will have different connect way of the XLR, please follow the 2+, 3-to soldering It can not be judged by comparing with other amplifiers (including other amplifiers in the same factory).

2. The signal light don’t lights up If all the signal input is fine and the signal light don’t lights up then may the amplifier has failure, you need to ask the professional person to check it.

3. Signal input normal but no sound The signal light will flash with the change of input Volume, but now sound out, then you can check the connect of speakon if it is connect good and the wires are connect right(some times the problem of the wires connect, check its+1 and +2 connect), after the check above if still no sOund out, please change a speaker cable and check again. Because some times also caused by the bad quality of the Speakon connector problem of the ampliier Through experiences, it may caused by the bad connection
   of some plugs and the socket.

Output sound distortion

1. After check the signal and loudspeaker they are fine and still can hear distortion when small sound, then may the amplifier has failure, need professional person to check it.
2. Some frequency band has distortion First, check if the loudspeaker already overload, normally judge it in 95-105dB for higher SPL we don’t comment here. Here we just think about the failure recovery of the amplifier. If in the middle have some rupture sound and more smaller volume more obvious, then it should be crossover distortion of the amplifier and this kind of distortion is easy to confuse with the failure of loudspeaker itself. If the amplifier have problem then you should send back to the manufacture for repair.
3. Distortion is High SPL If the sound is normal when small volume and then you need to check the limit SPL of the loudspeaker. You can listen it in suitable volume and if clip light works, then you need reduce the output. Both loudspeaker and amplifier have limit, you should use them in their limit if in very high SPL they have distortion you should take care of them and reduce the output to the right position.

The protection light blinks
When the PROT light works, the amplifier into the protection mode.

1. Maybe the temperature is too high or output short or near short and they are not failure they can recovery after you can use it normally. But over heat will take more time to recovery. Also when over heat happened you should check the fan and the temperature of the install environment, if does you should solve the problem then can use amplifier. If you think the speaker was short, you can with a multimeter to check if the resist is lower than 2 ohm or 1 ohm with DC(Please calibrate the multimeter to measure for accuracy because of the small resistance).
2.  If the PROT light always light up then it should be the problem of amplifier, you should send it back to professional person for repair.

Hum in the system

1. Hum exists even when there is no signal Please keep the amplifier away from earth wire of power supply cables, Just connect the fire wire and zero Wire, no ground wire. If the hum is still existing, it can be judged that there are some problems in the amplifier. Please get in touch with professionals.
2. Hum exists when the system is completely connected This is caused by the different ground voltages in difference devices in the system, mainly happens when the power supply is under three-phase distribution condition, each device is connected to different phase. This is not caused by amplifier.

Solution experiences, just for reference

• A. Combing the electricity, the power distribution box using the same one for all if possible.
• B. Make sure the grounding wire potential is zero and force the different grounding wire to the same level, if the grounding Wire Itself charged, indicates that the wire may be connected with the zero line. Please solve this problem.
• C. If unavailable above, then only to disconnect the ground wires of all devices, which helps to reduce the AC. But this is not meet the safe use of electricity, users must know what will happen if to do in this way. We do not recommend the floating use.

The amplifier is required maintenance in the condition below:

1. If the amplifier smokes or smells burning.
2. If the cabinet has severe indentation and deformation
3. If the amplitier are dipped into the water
4. If the internal components loosen
5. If AC breaker skips out when current increases.
