SETTING-UP ADVICE

For the NXAMP4x4W this is slightly different; the unit is sensing the mains voltage on

power up, and then will choose to boot either in “110 Volts” mode or “220 Volts” mode.

Once the NXAMP4x4W has startup up in one of the two modes, it will be locked to the

corresponding voltage range till next power up.

N.B.: for all NXAMP powered TDcontroller, the maximum amplifier output voltage is

proportional to the mains voltage.

Mounting the NXAMP in a rack (Grounding, shielding & safety issues)

The NXAMP Powered TDcontroller is intended for rack mounting. The only accessible part

during use shall be the front panel of the unit. Any space above or under the TDcontroller

shall be obstructed with a blank panel.

The rack is a free grounding and shielding structure and it provides extra shielding.

Therefore, it is desirable that the screws used to fix the NXAMP Powered TDcontroller in the

frame or rack provides an electrical contact between the chassis of the TDcontroller and

the rack.

The primary reason for grounding is safety. Conformance to the applicable requirements of

the authorities having jurisdiction is, of course, mandatory. However, grounding also has

an impact on electromagnetic compatibility. From the EMC point of view, it is desirable to

have a low impedance ground network, as a current flowing in the ground network will

then produce low voltage in the network. A low impedance network can be obtained using

a multipoint ground scheme, with as many closed ground loops as is economically possible.

Because of the amplifier weight, it is mandatory to fix the amplifier both from the front

panel and from the rear ears. The picture bellow shows the dimensions between the rack

holes on the front panel.
