1. Utilization The amplifier DPA 4411 has been specially designed to ensure durable performance and reliable operation of sound reinforcement systems with several independent loudspeaker lines. The DPA 4411 is best suited for call and message transmission installations, alert systems, and for general music applications in industrial enterprises, offices, multi-function halls and sport arenas, schools, churches, hotels, hospitals, super markets, cruise ships, and similar applications. 2. Install

3.2 Battery Operation 24 V DC The amplifier DPA 4411 can either be operated on the AC mains or connected to an external 24 V battery power source. Switching to battery operation is accomplished via internal relay. The battery has to be connected to the corresponding socket (23) on the rear panel of the appliance using insulated AMP flat connectors 6.3x0.8 mm. The amplifier is protected against confusion of poles. Additional internal protection is provided through two miniature fuses – F502 and

5. Outputs 5.1 POWER OUTPUT All power outputs are balanced and floating. When factory-shipped, the outputs are pre-configured for the connection of 100 V loudspeaker systems. Connection is achieved through plugging the supplied 8-pole socket into the connection strip (19). Switching the output transformer allows to change the output voltage to 70 V, 50 V or 20 V (see paragraph 8). When set to 20 V, operation of low impedance speakers with a load of 4 ohms is possible. Caution During operation

Free combination of the DPA 4411’s power output voltages, including mixed 100 V and low impedance (4 ohms) operation, is possible. 5.4 POWER OUTPUT 100 V - Double Output Power If the output power of one output of the DPA 4411 is not sufficient to feed all cabinets within a speaker network and dividing the speaker chain is not an option, it is possible to double the output power by coupling the outputs of two amplifiers. In that case the amplifier inputs have to be paralleled and the outputs ar

7.4 GROUND FAULT Indicator If, with built-in NRS 90207 a ground fault condition at one of the power outputs occurs, the corresponding red GROUND FAULT indicator (6) lights and a fault-message is transmitted to the PROMATRIX Manager DPM 4000. The power amplifier keeps up normal operation during the occurrence of this fault-type. After solving the problem, the GROUND FAULT indicator (6) can be reset by pressing the TEST button (3) or by sending the corresponding command via the serial port of the

Note After changing the output voltage, use a waterproof marker pen to note the correct, newly set value on the label-field OUTPUT VOLTAGE (20) on the rear of the appliance. Additionally note the corresponding output configuration (see diagram 5) on the label OUT CONFIG TYPE (20). According to the description in diagram 7, adjust the switches S801 and S802 on the printed board assembly 89019.2 that are located next to the transformers on the bottom of the appliance’s enclosure (refer al

9.2.2 Checking The Function Of The NRS 90207: With built-in NRS 90207 and powered-on amplifier, the READY-indicators (7) have to light. When using an external switch to shortcut one pole of the 100 V speaker network via a 47 k ohms resistor and the safety earthing conductor for approximately 5 seconds, the corresponding GROUND FAULT indicator (6) has to light. The fault-message is transmitted to the PROMATRIX Manager DPM 4000 (see PROMATRIX handbook). After releasing the external switch, indicat

11. Ground Lift Switch CIRCUIT ⊥ TO CHASSIS SWITCH Using the ground lift switch CIRCUIT ⊥ TO CHASSIS SWITCH (22) lets you separate the audio signal ground from the enclosure ground (safety earthing). This helps to solve problems with hum or noise without jeopardizing safety standards. If several units with ground lift switch are installed in a common enclosure or rack system, it is recommended to set the ground lift switches of all devices but one to “ungrounded”. Set to “ungrounded”, the impeda
