Frequently Asked Questions
Can each of the four outputs sit on a different setting?
Yes. Every output has its own Load Select dial, from 4Ω and 8Ω up through 25V, 70V and 100V.
Does it have relay outputs for paging?
Yes. Four Page Active Relays, one per channel with C, NC and NO contacts, give a contact closure while that channel is paging.
Will it run with nothing on the 24V DC inputs?
Yes. It takes 100-240V~ 50/60Hz mains at 60 Watts, and the two 24V DC auxiliary inputs are for a backup source, which is not supplied.
Does it come with every connector plug?
No. Connector plugs are missing, one connector slot is damaged but appears functional, and no manuals or accessories are included. It is used, pulled from a working decommissioned system, and it powers on, with nothing tested past that. Flat-rate shipping in the lower 48, and orders over the free-shipping line ship free.
Four channels, four page relays and four load dials share one rear panel, with one damaged connector slot among them.
