Security Cover Option

In order to prevent unauthorized operation of the PA40G & PA60G, optional security covers are available which take the place of the

front panel knobs. After the PA amplifier has been installed and is operating as desired, grasp the front panel knobs and pull straight out

from the front panel. Replace the knobs with security covers, Atlas Sound part number MPVCC-5, available in quantities of 5.

Rack Mount Kit Options

The PA40G & PA60G can be rack mounted as a single unit or with two units together. To do so a PA702RMK Rack Mount Kit needs to

be purchased from Atlas Sound.

Limit LED and Load Consideration

If the Red Limit LED illuminates, the amplifier has sensed an improper load or the input signal is too high, triggering the protection

circuitry. When the load sense Limit circuitry is engaged the amp will operate but at a lower power output. It is highly recommended to

discontinue use immediately and correct the fault condition. If you continue to operate with the RED Limit LED on, the second stage of

the current sense circuit may engage causing the amp not to pass any signal. To reset the amp turn down the Level controls and turn

the power off for 10 seconds.

In most situations when the Limit LED is in the illuminated steady state it means the speaker system load to the amp is lower than

what the amp is rated. This usually is detected when the system is first set up. Below are a few load conditions to check for if the

Limit LED is on.

1. Connected to the wrong speaker terminal. Always check the speaker terminal to the type of load you are using. Example: If

you are installing a 70V or 100V system make sure the wires are connected to the 70V/100V and common (COM) terminals.

2. Too many speakers connected to the amp. This is a very common mistake. If you are using a 60W amp and using the 70V

speaker terminals, add up the number of speakers and their wattage selections at the speaker. If they exceed 60W you must

retap the speakers or remove the correct amount speaker wattage until the wattage is 60W or less. Example: If you are using

a 30W tap you can only connect 2 speakers to the amp. If you are using the 7.5W tap, you can connect 8 speakers. If you

have too many speakers on the amp it will load the amp down, causing excessive current demand and will trigger the Limit &

Protect circuit.

3. Wrong speaker tap selection. It is also common in a 70V or 100V system that one of the speakers are set too low of an

impedance (8 ohm) and not a 70V or 100V tap. Note: It only takes one speaker to load the amp down incorrectly.

4. Short in system. This is common if the wire is run in metal conduit and the wire got nicked during the wire pull.

5. Speaker Level Controls. If an L-pad or stepped attenuator is wired wrong it can also load a system down.
