2.3 COOLING
The VHD2000 has a comprehensive cooling system featuring chassis-sealed PCB board mounting
and shock mounted, speed controlled fans. This means that the cooling system never drives air
across PCB boards, connectors or components ensuring prolonged electronic component lifespan
and minimizing maintenance cycles.
Air is drawn into the front of the amplifier by the two fans on the rear panel, this passes over the
cooling fins of the heat sinks and exhausts through the rear. If the heat sink gets too hot, its
sensing circuit will open the output relay, disconnecting the load.
It is important to have an adequate air supply at the front of the amplifier, and enough space
around the rear of the amplifier to allow the cooling air to escape. If the unit is rack mounted, do
not use doors or covers on the rear of the rack; the exhaust air must flow without restriction. If you
are using racks with closed backs, use fans on the rear rack panel to ensure an ample air supply.
2.4 AC REQUIREMENTS
A PowerCon cable is provided to connect the VHD2000 to a suitable AC power supply.
The PowerCon is a connector without breaking capacity, i.e. the PowerCon should not be
connected or disconnected under load or while it is live.
Always isolate your AC supply before disconnecting the PowerCon connector.
Your VHD2000 will be supplied pre set to the voltage used in your area. The table below
provides typical current draw figures for the VHD2000.
