DCM Series Circuit Description The DCM series are power amplifiers designed for commercial installations. They can be used for either low impedance (4 ohm/8 ohm) or constant voltage line speakers (100v/70v). These amplifiers can be mounted in a standard 19” equipment rack or they can be used on a shelf or table. The DCM series feature line level input (with parallel output) and are normally used with mixers, mixer amplifiers or other power amplifiers. The DCM series will operate from mains voltage or 24VDC.
The thermal cutout and fan is controlled by a microprocessor (PIC12C509A). The temperature is sensed using a 10k@25degC NTC. The fan is normally off and turns on to full speed at 60degC. This temperature is fixed and not adjustable. The thermal cutout temperature is set using the trimpot accessible through the hole in the top left side of the chassis return (only visible with the lid off). Turning the trimpot cw will decrease the point at which the amp cuts out ie the amp will cut out earlier.
DCM120 – 80 ohms DCM250 – 40 ohms DCM500 – 20 ohms XLR Audio Input and Parallel Output The DCM series includes both male and female 3 pin XLR connectors per channel. While the female is normally used as the input to the amplifier, both XLR’s are connected in parallel so either will work. The XLR’s inputs are transformer balanced and wired as: Pin 1: Shield.
TESTING PROCEDURE OF DCM 120/DCM 250/DCM 500 I. PRE-TESTING (of complete sets). • Check 1.1 All screw for tightness (Bridge rectifier and transistor bolts) 1.2 Earth Connection for good contact (solder and crimpling) 1.3 This setup has signal input to the Amplifier through male (XLR) 1.4 Check with Multimeter that there is a DC resistance of about 250 Ω between Pin2 & Pin3 of each of XLR’s. Also between (Pin 1 & Pin 3) and (Pin1 & Pin2). There should be very high resistance. (IE: no reading). 2.
II. FINAL TESTING (This setup should have signal input to Amplifier through female (XLR) (The limiter link should be out of circuit initially.) 1. Connect the Amplifier to the setup, set voltage selector switch to 240V 2. Switch ON the set to 240VAC. 3. Slowly increase the input signal (of 1kHz) keep watching the 24dB LED, it should glow at approx 9V output. Increase the input signal to get 70VAC output. 4. Check Dc voltage of all emitter resistors, Minimum value should be within 30% of the maximum value.
