It can be used for either low impedance (4 ohm) or 100v line speaker systems. The amplifier can be mounted in a standard 19” equipm
3、ent rack or it can be used on a shelf or table. The DCM250 features a line level input (with parallel output) and is normally used with mixers, mixer amplifiers or other power amplifiers. The DCM250 will operate from 230/240 VAC 50 Hz (115 VAC 60 Hz with factory modification) or 24 VDC and will meet
4、 its full performance specification on either voltage supply. The DCM250 also features a DC battery trickle charge facility, auto-sensing fan cooling, plus overload, short circuit and over temperature protection. DCM250, 250 Watt Power Amplifier Front Panel Features Power Switch The rocker switch lo
5、cated in the front centre of the panel turns AC power on to the DCM250. Rocking the power switch to the right to turns the AC power on. When the AC power is on, a blue LED will glow. Please note that this switch does not switch DC voltage. If a DC voltage supply is connected to the DCM250, the ampli
6、fier will operate as soon as the connection is made, regardless of the position of the AC power switch. If both an AC and DC voltage supply are connected and you rock the AC power switch to the off position, the DCM250 will automatically continue to operate normally from the DC supply (and the mains
7、 failure LED will also glow under these conditions). Level Control The output level control is located in the centre of the front panel, just to the left of the mains rocker switch (re- cessed screwdriver adjustable pot). Turning the control clockwise will increase the output of the DCM250 towards i
8、ts maximum output level while turning the control counter-clockwise will decrease the output level. Adjust this control for the desired output level depending on the level of the input signal (from a mixer or other signal source). The factory default setting for this control is such that a 1 volt in
9、put will give a 100 volt output. Amplifier Status Display The amplifier status display highlights the operating condition of the DCM250.The status display indicates: High Temperature: This red LED glows if one of the fans has failed and the amplifier has been shut down by its temperature control cir
10、cuitry. If this LED is glowing and the fans have not failed, it means that the amplifier is operating in an ambient environment that is too hot for fan cooling to make any difference to the temperature of the amplifier. Power: This LED glows blue if AC power is switched on to the DCM250. Note that t
11、his LED does not indicate the presence of a DC supply voltage. TEM PFAILON 24211815129630+3 HIMAINS D C M 2 5 0 RadioFans.CN Rear Panel Features AC Power Inlet The 3 pin IEC power inlet is located on the bottom left of the rear panel and accepts a standard mains power lead fitted with an IEC connect
12、or. Before plugging in a power lead, please check the rear panel of the amplifier to ensure that the voltage label shows the correct AC operating voltage for your part of the world. The inlet is equipped with an in-built AC fuse holder fitted with a 6 Amp slow blow fuse plus a spare fuse. Please ens
13、ure that the mains power cord is disconnected before attempting to check or replace this fuse. Power consumption is 400 VA (max). Speaker Output Terminal Strip Located on the top left of the rear panel is the speaker output terminal strip. Reading from left to right, the connections are: COMCommon o
14、r “-” for low impedance speaker loads (4 ohms). 4The “+” for 4 ohm speaker loads (use with common) COMCommon or “-” for 100v speaker loads (maximum load of 40 ohms at 100v) 100The “+” for 100v line speaker loads (use with common) Please ensure that the correct “Common” is used. Low impedance and 100
15、v loads can be used simultaneously but please pay careful attention to the overall speaker load. When used individually, the low impedance load should be 4 ohms or higher while the 100v line load should not fall below 40 ohms. When both outputs are used simultanously, ensure that neither output is l
16、oaded to maximum. 24 Volt Power Located on the rear panel are the red and black connection posts for 24v power. This feature can be used as either a back- up facility (if mains power fails) or for applications where AC power is not available. The left side red post is the + (positive) terminal while
17、 the right side black post is the - (negative) terminal. The DC current drain is 15 Amps maximum at full power. This socket also provides trickle charge to a DC battery supply (if connected) when the DCM250 is operated from AC mains power. The level of trickle charge is 300 mA, maximum. Mains Failur
18、e: The LED glows red if there is a failure in the AC mains power supply. However, this LED will only glow if there is a DC supply voltage present. If no DC supply voltage is present then this LED will not glow. Output Level VU Meter: A 10 segment LED VU meter is provided to give an indication of the
19、 output signal level of the amplifier from -25 to +3 dB. During normal operation, the LEDs will oscillate with changes in the program signal. Care should be taken to avoid more than occasional illumination of the red LEDs. If the LEDs in the red zone are lit continually, then the output level contro
20、l (or the level of the input signal to the DCM250) should be adjusted to reduce the output level. Too much output level can cause distortion, activate the internal limiter or possibly damage the connected speaker system. 230 V CC4100NC OHM AC FUSE 6A S/B DC FUSE 2 X 10A S/B 24 VDC INPUT ENGINEERED B

Access each DC fuse by turning the cap counter-clockwise with a screwdriver. The value of the fuse is 10 Amps slow blow. Please ensure that
22、 the AC power switch is in the off position and that the mains power cord is disconnected before attempting to check or replace this fuse Cooling Fan (Air Intake) The cooling fans are temperature sensitive and will only switch on when the temperature of the DCM250 had reached a pre-determined range.
23、 The fan will stay on and only switch off again once the temperature of the DCM250 has fallen below a pre-determined level. If the DCM250 is operating continually at conservative levels and proper load conditions, it is possible that the cooling fan will not switch on at any time during normal opera
24、tion. When operating, the fan works with air flow from the front to the rear of the DCM250. Fuse Sizes Mains, 240 VAC : 6 Amperes Slow Blow. XLR Audio Input and Parallel Output The input to the DCM250 is transformer balanced 10K ohms. When signal is connected to one XLR, the other XLR becomes a line
25、 level output allowing the input signal to be distributed (split) to other amplifiers. In some projects, the same input may be looped through to multiple amplifiers using this method. Up to 6 amplifiers can be looped together without any noticeable loss in level. A distribution amplifier should be u
26、sed when more than 6 amplifiers need to be looped. The XLRs are wired as follows: Pin 1: Shield. Pin 2: Hot, +, Positive. Pin 3: Cold, -, Negative RadioFans.CN 1. Save the carton and packing material even if the equip- ment has arrived in good condition. Should you ever need to ship the unit, use on
27、ly the original factory pack- ing. 2. Read all documentation before operating your equip- ment. Retain all documentation for future reference. 3. Follow all instructions printed on unit chassis for proper operation. 4. Do not spill water or other liquids into or on the unit, or operate the unit whil
28、e standing in liquid. 5. Make sure power outlets conform to the power re- quirements listed on the back of the unit. 6. Do not use the unit if the electrical power cord is frayed or broken. The power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed
29、 upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords and plugs, convenience re- ceptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance. 7. Always operate the unit with the AC ground wire connected to the electrical system ground. Precautions should be taken so that the means of grounding
30、 of a piece of equipment is not defeated. 8. Mains voltage must be correct and the same as that printed on the rear of the unit. Damage caused by connection to improper AC voltage is not covered by any warranty. 9. Have gain controls on amplifiers turned down during power-up to prevent speaker damag
31、e if there are high signal levels at the inputs. 10. Power down & disconnect units from mains voltage before making connections. 11. Never hold a power switch in the “ON” position if it wont stay there itself! 12. Do not use the unit near stoves, heat registers, ra- diators, or other heat producing
32、devices. 13. Do not block fan intake or exhaust ports. Do not operate equipment on a surface or in an environment which may impede the normal flow of air around the unit, such as a bed, rug, weathersheet, carpet, or com- pletely enclosed rack. If the unit is used in an extremely dusty or smoky envir
33、onment, the unit should be peri- odically “blown free” of foreign matter. 14. Do not remove the cover. Removing the cover will expose you to potentially dangerous voltages.

38、formation RadioFans.CN DCM Series Circuit Description The DCM series are power amplifiers designed for commercial installations. They can be used for either low impedance (4 ohm/8 ohm) or constant voltage line speakers (100v/70v). These amplifiers can be mounted in a standard 19” equipment rack or t
39、hey can be used on a shelf or table. The DCM series feature line level input (with parallel output) and are normally used with mixers, mixer amplifiers or other power amplifiers. The DCM series will operate from mains voltage or 24VDC. The DCM series also feature a DC battery trickle charge facility
40、, auto-sensing fan cooling, plus overload, short circuit and over temperature protection. Power Switch This switch controls the switching of AC power to the amplifier. A blue On LED will indicate whether the amplifier is switched on or off. This switch will not switch DC power on or off in DC operat
41、ion. In DC operation mode, the amplifier is always on and the blue power LED will always be illuminated. If both AC and DC voltage supply are connected and the AC power switch is in the off position, the amplifier will continue to operate normally from the DC supply and the mains fail LED will indic
42、ate. Level Control The output level control is located in the centre of the front panel. It is a fully recessed screwdriver adjustable pot. Turning this pot cw will increase the gain of the amplifier. At maximum setting the input sensitivity is 300mV. The amplifier ships from the factory with the se
43、nsitivity set to 1V. Amplifier Status Display This VU meter indicates the output level of the amplifier. The sensing for the circuit is taken on the amplifier side of the output transformer. The 0dB level is referenced to 100V. This is an RMS meter, not a peak meter. Protect The protect LED will ill
44、uminate when the amplifier cuts out because of either over current or high temperature. The amplifier will switch back on after approx 4 sec for an over current trip. The amplifier will switch back on after the amplifier has cooled to 60degC for a thermal trip. Limiter The limiter is a hard limiter
45、with an attack time of about 1msec. It is defeatable by removing the jumper on the solder side of the front pcb. This however is not recommended as voltage overload and speaker transformer current saturation may cause the amplifier to cut out under normal program material. Current Limit and Setup Cu
46、rrent limit is controlled by a microprocessor (PIC12C509A). The detection is done by sensing voltage across the emitter resistors. Trimpot P1 on the front pcb is accessible through the hole in the top right of the chassis return (only visible with the lid off). Turning the trimpot ccw will decrease
47、the point at which the amp cuts out ie the amp will cut out earlier. (P1 resistance is increased.) To set the current limit: 1. Reset the trimpot P1 turning fully clockwise. 2. Connect the amplifier to half its minimum load (10ohm for DCM500, 20ohm for DCM250, 40ohm for DCM120). 3. Run an rms 1kHz s
48、ine wave into the amplifier and set the input level so that you read 425mVDC (DCM250/500) or 825mVDC (DCM120) across the emitter resistor, measuring the side which has the higher current (measured as a voltage across the emitter resistors). 4. Turn the trimpot P1 ccw till the amplifier cuts out. The
49、 amplifier is set to the factory default. Thermal and Fan control and Setup RadioFans.CN The thermal cutout and fan is controlled by a microprocessor (PIC12C509A). The temperature is sensed using a 10k25degC NTC. The fan is normally off and turns on to full speed at 60degC. This temperature is fixed and not adjustable. The thermal cutout temperature is set using the trimpot accessible through the hole in the top left side of the chassis return (only visible with the lid off). Turning the trimpot cw will decrease the point at which the amp
