UNPACKING INSTRUCTION

CAUTION! Immediately upon receiving the product, carefully unpack the carton, check the contents to ensure that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damage from shipping or the package itself shows signs of mishandling. Save the package and all packing
materials. In the event that the product must be returned to the factory, it is important that the product be returned in the original factory box and packing.
If the device has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your device. Leave the device switched off until it has reached room temperature.

POWER SUPPLY

On the label on the backside of the product is indicated on this type of power supply must be connected. Check that the mains voltage corresponds to this, all other voltages than specified, the light effect can be irreparably damaged. The product must also be directly connected to the mains and may be used. No dimmer or adjustable power supply

Always connect the device to a protected circuit (circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure the device has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.

REPLACING THE FUSE

If the fuse is defective, replace the fuse with a fuse of the same type and value. Before replacing the fuse, unplug mains lead.

Procedure

Step 1 : Open the fuse holder on the rear panel with a fitting screwdriver.
Step 2 : Remove the old fuse from the fuse holder.
Step 3: Install the new fuse in the fuse holder.
Step 4 : Replace the fuse holder in the housing.

CONNECTING WITH BT

Activate the BT-function on your device (Mobile phone, tablet etc.) from which you want to play the music. See the operating instructions for that device.
Press the “BT” button and activate BT-function.
Select “PDM 100V” on your BT-device and make the BT-connection

If password is required, you can enter “0000”.
Attention: The BT distance is approx. 10 meter without any barrier.

100V LINE SYSTEM

For 100V line systems, connect the amplifier to the first speaker in the system using double-insulated speaker wire which has adequate current rating to handle the total output of the amplifier.
Connect the “100V” output terminal to the positive (+) connection of the speaker and “COM” output to the negative (-) connection of the speaker. Connect further speakers in parallel to the first speaker with all positive terminals and connected together and all negative terminals connected together as shown below.

A 100V line speaker system can comprise of many speakers connected together. The determining factor for how many speakers can be used on a single amplifier is the power rating. For most purposes, it is advised to connect as many speakers as needed with a combined wattage of no more than 90% of the amplifier’s output power rating.
The terminals of a 100V speaker are connected to a transformer and in some cases, this transformer may be “tapped” for different power ratings. These tapings can be used to adjust the wattage (and output volume) of each speaker in the system to help achieve the ideal total power of the system for the amplifier.

SPEAKER TERMINALS

These terminals are offering 3 low voltage outputs 4Ω, 8Ω, 16Ω depending on your speaker combination. A 70V/100V commercial output is also available.
Please note that one wire only should be connected to COM screw and one wire to the selected impedance or voltage.
ATTENTION: Multiple combinations cannot be done at the output level.
Four different types of connections are provided. The low impedance section: 4Ω, 8Ω, 16Ω is designed for a small amount of speakers to be connected to your amplifier. The 70V/100V section is especially designed for a multiple speaker distribution.
When using the 70V/100V output, speakers have to be equipped with 70V/100V transformer. The maximum amount of speakers to be placed on your distribution line is in relation to the power allocated to each speaker. The total wattage set on the secondary side of the transformers on your speaker line must not exceed the maximum RMS output power: 30W, 60W or 120W. Failure to respect this may cause permanent damage to the amplifier.
