They

2、 may also be installed in a UL-listed enclosure for use in fire-alarm-signaling systems. The FAX amplifiers incorporate many useful features. The input can be set to operate in a BAL (balanced) or UNBAL (unbalanced) mode by a switch on the rear panel. In the balanced mode, it is transformer-isolated

3、. A RESPONSE switch has a LO-CUT position that provides protection for horn-type speakers. The transformer-isolated speaker outputs include 4- and 8-ohm connections as well as constant-voltage 70.7- -and 25-volt connections with a center tap. There is also an auxiliary power output for pre-amps (24V

4、DC, 250 mA maximum). The FAX60 and FAX120 amplifiers can operate from a 24-volt DC power source. UNPACKING The amplifier was thoroughly checked at the factory. Inspect the amplifi- er, the enclosed parts,and the shipping container for signs of improper han- dling during shipment. In case of damage,

5、immediately place a claim: with the dealer or distributor from whom you purchased the unit or-if the unit was shipped directly to you-with the carrier. 1986 RAULAND-BORG CORPORATION PRINTED IN INDIA 7/86 Page 1 of 10 RadioFans.CN 收音机爱 好者资料库 The following parts are included with the mixer-amplifier:

Screws for tapped holes (l0-32 x 5/8 black Phillips machine). Screws for untapped holes (10 x 5/8 black Phillips thread-forming). U type Speed Nuts.

7、 WA221 WA222 AB1889 1 Jumper Cable for making special connections among the speaker and ground terminals. INSTALLATION The amplifier should be rack-mounted where there is adequate ventilation, a moderate temperature, an AC power outlet within 4-l/2 feet, and provisions for grounding. The rack should

8、 have the standard 19-inch width and a vertical space of 5-l/4 inches. Adding an inch of space behind the amplifier for connections, the rack should have a total depth of 11-l/2 inches (FAX60) or 15 inches (FAX120). A cooling fan is recommended when the rack is enclosed and: (a) The combined rated o

10、E A FIRE HAZARD. Rack-Mounting The front panelsof the FAX60 and FAX120 amplifiers are designed to allow the amplifiers to be directly mounted into standard 19-inch racks. Two kinds of mounting screws are supplied with each amplifier: A. If the racks holes are untapped,select the #10 thread-forming s

11、crews (WA222). Push the#l0 U nuts onto the proper holes in the rack. B. If the racks holes are tapped,select the #10 machine screws (WA221).

THIS WIRE GROUNDS TEE AMPLIFIERS CHASSIS TO PREVENT A POSSIBLE SHOCK HAZARD. IF AN ADAPTER IS USED TO CONNECT THE PLUG TO A TWO-PRONG SOCKET, MAKE

13、SURE THAT THE AMPLIFIERS CHASSIS IS CONNECTED TO A PROVEN EARTH GROUND.

However, their output taps differ significantly: onthe FAX60, to CT (Center Tap), but, on COM (Common) is internally connected the FAX120,COM is connected to a 25V

17、 terminal instead. Hence, the output connections of the two amplifiers are given in separate subsections. Note: The back-panel outputs are illustrated after the Specifications. Routing the Wires Route the speaker wires from the left side (as viewed from the rear of the amplifier). This will prevent

18、coupling with the input lines on the right. Selecting the Proper Outputs The 4- and 8-ohm outputs are generally used when the wires running to the speakers are relatively short and the line loss is less than 0.5dB (most audio and sound-system handbooks have tables listing the line loss for each wire

19、 size and load impedance). For best performance, make sure that the impedance of the total speaker load matches that of the tap being used. Use series or parallel speaker arrangements as needed to obtain the proper impedance-matching. The 25- and 70.7-volt outputs are for speakers designed for const

20、ant- voltage lines. Each speaker must have a line-matching transformer, and the speakers must be connected in parallel. The impedance taps on the primaries of the line-matching transformers Indicate how much power will be taken from the line. Speakers can be added as required until the total wattage

21、 absorbed by all of the transformers is equal to the rated power output of the amplifier. It is good practice to allow an amplifier a headroom of 10% to 20%. For a 120-watt amplifier, -the maximum speaker load should be approximately 100 watts. FAX60 Speaker Connections The speaker taps on the outpu

30、 operation (the standard configuration for 4- and 8-ohm outputs). Auxiliary Power Supply The 24-VDC power supply on the screw terminals can provide a maximum of 250 mA to preamplifiers and other auxiliary devices requiring DC power. POWER CONNECTIONS AC Connection Plug the power cord into a 120-V, 6

31、0-Hz.,three-wire grounded outlet that can provide 220 watts (FAX60) or 320 watts (FAX120) of power. Check the local regulations before installing permanent AC lines and plugging in the equipment. DC Connection The amplifier can be powered by an external battery or other 24-VDC source. Normally, this

32、 is used as a backup source. A cable with a polarized plug is supplied to facilitate the connection of DC power. Note: The amplifier will not recharge the batteries. For recharging, obtain an approved charger and follow the manufacturers instructions. Page 6 7/86 USING THE CONTROLS, SWITCHES, AND LE

33、D INDICATORS INPUT LEVEL Control This control on the back panel is used to adjust the sound output to an appropriate level. It should be set so that the maximum possible input signal will not cause the output to clip. This control should be adjusted by the installer and then left alone. RESPONSE (Lo

34、w-Frequency Roll-Off) Switch Use the FLAT position of theRESPONSE switch to obtain the rated frequen- cy response of the amplifier. To protect horn-only speaker systems, place the switch in the LO-CUT position:this will cause at least a l0-dB roll-off at 100 Hertz. LEDs and Circuit Breakers When the

35、 amplifier is operating normally, the POWER LED glows. Should an overload or a short circuit occur in the speaker lines, the DC circuit breaker will trip. To signal this condition, the POWER LED will turn off and the PROTECTION MONITOR LED will light up. Should the AC fuse blow, both LEDs will be of

36、f. If either of these conditions occurs ascertain what the problem is and correct it before resetting the circuit breaker or inserting a new fuse. The resetting is done by pushing the stem of the circuit breaker back in. Should the circuit breaker trip repeatedly, unplug the power cord and consult a

37、 qualified service representative. INITIAL TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Possible Causes 1) 2) Low volume or distorted sound. (a) (b) The amplifier does (a) not operate and the Power LED does not light up. (b) Check whether all the input and output connections are properly made andsecurely fastened. If th

38、e sound is distorted, check whether the speak- ers are being overdriven (e.g., does the distortion go away when the level control is turned down?). Make sure that the power cord is plugged in and that there is power in the outlet. Examine the input and output lines for obvious shorts (among themselv

39、es and between them and the chassis or surrounding equipment) and broken con- nections. If everything appears in order, check the fuse. If the amplifiers output and POWER LED lights still fail to respond,unplug the power cord and contact your local RAULAND distributor. 7/86 Page 7 SERVICING INFORMAT

Removin

44、g and Replacing Transistors Transistors are inherently long-lived devices that normally should not need replacement. If, however,systematic troubleshooting indicates a problem, observe these precautions when removing and replacing transistors: (1) (2) (3) Transistors can be damaged by excessive heat

45、, so use a small soldering iron when removing or replacing a transistor with solder connections. Transistors come with a wide variety of cases and leads. To avoid a costly mistake, make a careful sketch of the lead connections before removing a transistor from a printed circuit board or tie points.

46、Before installing a power transistor, obtain an appropriate mica insulator, coat both sides of it with silicone grease (Dow-Corning DC4 or an equiva- lent), and fit the insulator between the transistor and the heat sink. An alternate insulator is a Silpad , which does not require silicone grease. P

47、a g e 8 7/86 Testing Transistors The best way to test a tranaistor is to use a transistor tester. However, if one is not available, use an ohmmeter. Most failures result in a short or an open circuit between the collector and the emitter. Connect the ohmmeters leads to the collector and the emitter, then use the low ohm range to read the resistance, If the reading in this range remains the same when the leads art reversed, the transistor is shorted. If the readings art infinite for both connections, the transistor is open.
