Peavey PA 200 User Manual

12. The auxiliary input jack is the input
to the clear channel provided in the PA-200
for use with additional mics or external
effects/echo units. This input works in con-
junction with the auxiliary level control (8)
and feeds into the main mixing buss.
13. The reverb footswitch jack provides a
‘method for reverb cutoff by use of the
optional remote footswitch. Any footswitch
with the proper plug (standard phone plug)
and a shielded cable will work with this jack.
In the event you should decide to use the
effects mixing buss for monitor, the reverb
unit may be shut off by use of this feature.
14. The pilot light indicates when power is
applied to the amplifier.
15. The three wire line cord has been
provided for your protection and should be
connected to the proper line voltage as
indicated on the back panel. DO NOT
REMOVE THE GROUND PIN ON PLUG.
16. The fuse is located within the cap of
the fuse holder and should be replaced with
one of the proper value if it should fail. It is
necessary that the proper value fuse be used
to avoid damage to the equipment and to
avoid voiding the warranty. Models that have
circuit breakers can be reset by depressing the
red button. If the breaker trips repeatedly,
take the unit to a qualified service center for
inspection. | |
17. The line power switch is of the three
position type with the center position being —
off. The three position switch has two on -
positions which are used to ground the ampli-
fier properly. One of the on positions will ©

yield the least hum or popping when the
microphone is touched, and this is the
position that should be used. Export models
have two position on/off switches and
polarity information above is to be disre-
garded.
18. The speaker output jacks are designed
to be used with a total load of FOUR OHMS.
Speaker systems of higher impedance can be
used with a slight loss in output power.
Speaker systems with less than a total of four
Ohms can be used with the risk of overloading
the power amplifier. Slightly less power will
be delivered to lower impedances because of
the unique limiting action of our integral pro-
tection system. The power amplifier is built
on a large aluminum heatsink to cool the
-= output devices. A thermostat is connected to
this heatsink to shut the system down in case
of overheating. Low speaker impedances tend
to cause the amp to run hotter than normal,
and could cause the automatic cutoff to
operate if the output stage becomes hot
enough to endanger the output devices. The
thermostat is self-resetting and normal
operation will be restored when the unit
reaches safe operating temperatures. If
thermal shutdown is apparent, then you are
overloading the system and continued use in
this manner will damage the system. Never
use less than a four Ohm total load on the
200 module. The output voltage available
from this unit is approximately 22 V R.M.S.
into four Ohms with proper AC line input.
19. The large line cord retainers on the rear
panel are provided for your convenience in
storing the AC line cord during transport
of the unit. —
