breaker trips instantly each time you attempt to reset it, the unit should be taken to a qualified service center for repair. (6) OUTPUT MONITOR This standard Quick-Connectª RJ11 modular connector provides Channel A and B signals to PeaveyÕs booth monitor products such as the CA-M400. Refer to the diagram above the connector for proper polarity. (+ is equal to the channelÕs positive output.) The channels are indicated below the connector.
(11) EURO CONNECTOR INPUTS The popular plugable Euro connector is provided for the inputs for each channel. These inputs are balanced electronically, with the terminals marked Ò+Ó as the positive amplifier inputs, and the terminals marked Ò-Ó as the negative amplifier inputs. The remaining terminals are ground (chassis).
quickly. In all circumstances, an investigation should be undertaken to determine the cause of the thermal shut down. If the amplifier is not severely overloaded or its outputs shorted, and air flow is normal in and out of the amplifier, steps should be taken to provide a cooler environment for the amplifier, along with any other amplifiers in the same equipment cabinet. As a general rule, the cooler electronic equipment is operated, the longer its useful service life.
