IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11. Connections
When you connect the amplifier to other equipment, turn off the power and
unplug all of the equipment from the supply source. Failure to do so may cause
an electric shock and serious personal injury. Read the user manual of the other
equipment carefully and follow the instructions when making the connections.
12. Lightning
For additional protection of this amplifier during lightning storms or when it is
left unattended and/or unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall
outlet. This will prevent damage to the amplifier due to lightning and power line
surges. Disconnection from the mains power supply can only be achieved by
removing the plug from the mains socket and by external disconnecting all poles
from the mains.

if the power supply cord or plug has been damaged
when the amplifier exhibits a distinct change from its normal function or
performance
in case the amplifier has been used in a dusty environment for quite a
period of time
14. Servicing
All service and repair work must be carried out by a dealer / distributor authorized by CAMCO. Do not attempt to service this amplifier yourself. As opening
or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards,
the amplifier may only be opened by qualified personnel. Please refer to your
dealer / distributor.
15. Spare parts
When spare parts are required, please ensure that the dealer / distributor only
uses spare parts specified by the manufacturer. The use of un authorized spare
parts may result in injury and / or damage through fire or electric shock or other
electricity-related hazards.
16. Safety check
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the dealer / distributor to perform safety checks to determine that the amplifier works properly.
Recommendations on how to carry out the safety test can be found in
DIN VDE 0701-1 “Maintenance, Modification and Test of Electronic Appliances“.
17. Cleaning
Unplug this amplifier from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or
aerosol cleaners. Clean only with dry cloth.
18. Packaging and shipping
When shipping the iD4 amplifier, always use the original shipping carton and
packing materials. For maximum protection repack the unit as it was originally
packed at the factory.
19. Altitude (for China)
The amplifier shall only be operated at altitudes below or equal 2000 m.
20. Non-tropics (for China)
The amplifier shall only be operated in non tropic areas.

THE AMPLIFIER
2. The Amplier
The iD4 / iD7 is a Class-H power amplifier with a power output of:
Power output Operating mode
iD4
1× 4 500 W mono bridge @ 8 Ω peak
1× 3 800 W mono bridge @ 8 Ω
1× 3 200 W mono bridge @ 4 Ω
2× 2 250 W dual channel @ 4 Ω peak
2× 2 000 W dual channel @ 2,7 Ω peak
2× 1 900 W dual channel @ 4 Ω
2× 1 450 W dual channel @ 2 Ω
iD7
1× 7 400 W mono bridge @ 4 Ω peak
1× 6 800 W mono bridge @ 4 Ω
1× 5 600 W mono bridge @ 8 Ω peak
2× 3 850 W dual channel @ 2,7 Ω peak
2× 3 440 W dual channel @ 2 Ω
2× 2 950 W dual channel @ 2,7 Ω
2× 2 300 W dual channel @ 4 Ω
iD4 / iD7 amplifiers are fitted with Switched Mode Power Supplies (SMPS),
which significantly reduces the weight and size (only 2U) of the amplifier. Using
SMPS, the 2 symmetrical supply voltages of the power amplifier are more stable
than the power supplies used in conventional amplifiers.
The iD4 / iD7 has been designed as a powerful two channel amplifier with onboard 64 bit DSP processing. Both amplifier settings and DSP settings can
be user adjusted to match a speaker systems specifications. With up to 50
onboard speaker pre-set storage capability, fine tuning of a system or differing
systems is fast, easy and strait forward; the user interface is designed to be
intuitive allow for quick familiarisation.
The combination of both power amplifier and on-board DSP technologies used
in the iD4 / iD7 provide the level of control and audio quality expected in any
professional applications. The iD4 / iD7 is a very powerful and complete speaker
management system with optimum flexibility and maximum control and security.
Since some of the externally mounted controls have multiple functions, it is
important that users should familiarise themselves thoroughly with the entire
range of controls.
