case of overload the red LED CLIP lights up
With the control for input 1, also the level for a
microphone connected via the jack (45) or (46)
is adjusted, and with the control for the input 2,

23 Speaker connections for 100 V speakers
Attention! Each of the six zone outputs
allows a maximum load of 100 W RMS by the
speakers . However, the admissible total load
must not be exceeded in any case:
PA-6240 240 W RMS
PA-6480 480 W RMS
PA-6600 600 W RMS
24 Direct output for a 4 Ω speaker or a 4 Ω speaker
group
The zone volume switches (2) have no effect on
this output .
Attention! Only use this output if the 100 V
outputs (23 and 25) are not used; otherwise,
the amplifier will be overloaded .
25 Direct output for 100 V speakers
The zone volume switches (2) have no effect on
this output .
Attention! The total load of all connected
speakers must not exceed
240 W RMS (PA-6240)
480 W RMS (PA-6480)
600 W RMS (PA-6600) .
26 Input for the signal of a telephone bell or night
bell; the input signal activates a ringing tone
which can be heard via the PA system (also see
items 11 and 13)
27 Input (bal ., 250 mV) for a telephone signal with
line level which is to be heard via the PA system
(also see item 12)
28 Connection for a separate switch
Via this switch, a stored alarm announcement
can be called with the digital message insertion
PA-1120DMT inserted . At the same time, all
PA zones are switched on and set to maximum
volume [as with the button ALL CALL (4)] .
