Peavey XR-500 - Rear Panel Switches and Connections; Power Switch (V) Operation; Line Cord (T) Safety; Speaker Outputs (W)

POWER SWITCH (V)
On domestic units, the pcMer switch is of the three position type with ’.he cente' position being “OFF " This switch has two ON'
positions, one ot which is used to ground the amplifier properly One cf the ON” positions wi i yield the lowest amount of residual hum or
''popping" when the instrument is touched and this is the position that should be used
On export models, we utilize a simple on/ot'f switch that does not have multiple 'ON' positcn3 since the grounding (earthing) condilions
m most foreign countries are positively made through staroard tanper-prenf plug-m systems
LINE CORD (T)
For your sa-Gtv. we have ncorporatec a three-wire lire (mams) cable with proper grounding facilities It is not advisable to remove the
Qround pin under any circumstances. 1 it is necessary lo use the amp n a tv/o-pm plug system wihout proper grounding facilities, suitable
grounding adaptors should be used. Much less nose anc greatly reduced shock hazard exists when -he unit is operated with the proper
grounded receptacles
SPEAKER OUTPUTS (W)
The speaker output jacks are ot the s'andard '/•' type Both the output jacks are wirec in parallel and either or belli may be used when
connecting your speaker system. The 260C module has been optimized fora 4-Ohm lead but has adequate performance to drivo loads both,
above an3 below the -ecommendod >1-Ohm impectence. bxtreme care should be used when operating s unit ai below 4 Ohms since lower
load impedances lend to overload the power amplilier and may cause premature activation of the power amp's short circuit protection
system and/or thermal fault protection circuitry. Because of the unique design of the compressor, the circuit will still minimize clipping
regardless of load values
LINE (MAINS) CORD RETAINER (X)
We have provided two srge molded line cord retainers on the rear panel to allow storage Of the mams cable for navel. In operation, the
cable should be completely unwrapped to allow maximum heat dissipation from the rear pane:/heatsink.
