Operation Manual
CT16S 16通道主备功放切换器
操作手册
1 Welcome
The Crown® CT16S Amplifier Switcher gives end users confidence that their public address system is operating as
designed.
The CT16S has 16 primary amplifier inputs (which connect to the amplifier outputs), 16 backup amplifier inputs (which
connects to the amplifier outputs), and 16 speaker outputs. The CT16S can be connected to the Hi-Z ouput (70V/100V)
of amplifier and capable of handling maximum 2A continuous current for each channel.
This switcher can be used to back up channels or amplifiers in a public address system. The switcher itself cannot switch
but is directed to switch between channels and amplifiers by the management software. All errors and switch operations
will be reported to the management software.
A series of programmable GPIO’s can be used to connect the CT16S to external control devices. A total of 16 control
inputs and 5 control outputs are built into the CT16S to provide enough control inputs for third party use. In addition to
the GPIO, an Ethernet connector is provided for additional configuration and control.
Please take the time to study this manual so that you can obtain the best possible service from your amplifier switcher.
1 欢迎
Crown® CT16S主备功放切换器增强了用户对公共广播系统稳定运行的信心。
CT16S具有16路主功放输入（连接到功放输出）、16路备用功放输入（连接到备用功放输出）和
16路输出（连接到扬声器输入回路）。CT16S每通道能支持Hi-Z（70V/100V）最高2A连续电流。
此主备功放切换器在公共广播系统中用于备份通道或功放。此切换器本身并不能控制切换，而是
通过管理软件来执行切换操作。所有错误和切换操作都将被管理软件记录。
您可通过本功放切换器上的可编程控制输入输出接口将CT16S与外部控制设备相连。CT16S设计有
16路控制输入和5路控制输出，为第三方提供足够的控制输入。除了控制输入输出接口，CT16S还
提供以太网接口，用于其它配置和控制。
请仔细阅读本手册，以获取本产品最佳效能。

2.2 Installing Your Amplifier Switcher
CAUTION: Before you begin, make sure your amplifier switcher is disconnected from the
power source.
Use a standard 19-inch (48.3 cm) equipment rack (EIA RS-310B). See Figure 2.1 for ampli fier dimensions.
You may also stack them without using a cabinet.
NOTE: When transporting, amplifier switchers should be supported at both front and back.
2.3 Ensure Proper Cooling
When using an equipment rack, mount units directly on top of each other. Close any open spaces in rack with blank panels.
DO NOT block front or rear air vents.
