1 Welcome

Building on the foundation of the Com-Tech® Series, the Crown

bility and value for installed sound. The ComTech Series was the first to offer independent selection of high- and low-impedance operation for a specific channel, and CTs Series amplifiers continue that tradition, with power levels and features carefully chosen to perfectly integrate into fixed install design requirements.

Modern power amplifiers are sophisticated pieces of engineering capable of producing extremely high power levels. They must be treated with respect and correctly installed if they are to provide the many years of reliable service for which they were designed.

In addition, CTs Series amplifiers include a number of features which require some explanation before they can be used to their maximum advantage.

Please take the time to study this manual so that you can obtain the best possible service from your amplifier.

1.1 Features

• Switching Power Supply for reduced weight.

• High power-density, with all two-channel models in a 2U chassis.

CTs Series offers new flexi-

• Direct constant-voltage (70V/100V/140V/200V) or low-impedance (2/4/8 ohm) operation. No switch required.

• Input sensitivity is independently selectable for each channel. Choose low-impedance (4/8 ohm), constant-voltage (70V/ 100V/140V/200V), or 26 dB.

• TLC protection circuitry protects the amplifier from long-term excessive heat by subtly and dynamically reducing the gain only when necessary.

• JTS circuitry (CTs 600/1200 only) quickly protects BJT output transistors from unsafe operating conditions without shutting the channel down. (Not applicable to BCA amplifiers as they are inherently protected.)

• PIP2™ (Programmable Input Processor) connector accepts accessory modules that tailor the amplifier to suit specific applications.

• Removable terminal block input connectors, with “Y” Input Switch in the standard PIP2-BBY module.

3.1 Unpack Your Amplifier

Please unpack and inspect your amplifier for any damage that may have occurred during transit. If damage is found, notify the transportation company immediately. Only you can initiate a claim for shipping damage. Crown will be happy to help as needed. Save the shipping carton as evidence of damage for the shipper’s inspection.

We also recommend that you save all packing materials so you will have them if you ever need to transport the unit. Never ship the

unit without the factory pack.

YOU WILL NEED (not supplied):

• Input wiring cables

• Output wiring cables Rack for mounting amplifier (or a stable surface

for stacking)

WARNING: Before you start to set up your amplifier, make sure you read and observe the Important Safety Instructions found at the beginning of this manual.

3.2 Install Your Amplifier

CAUTION: Before you begin, make sure your amplifier is disconnected from the power source, with power switch in the “off” position and all level controls turned completely down (counterclockwise).

Use a standard 19-inch (48.3 cm) equipment rack. See Figure 3.1 for amplifier dimensions.

You may also stack amps without using a cabinet.

NOTE: When transporting, amplifiers should be supported at both front and back.

3.3 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. The side walls of the rack should be a minimum of two inches (5.1 cm) away from the amplifier sides, and the back of the rack should be a minimum of four inches (10.2 cm) from the amplifier back panel.

Figure 3.2 illustrates standard amplifier airflow.

3.4 Choose Input Wire and Connectors

Figure 3.3 shows connector pin assignments for balanced wiring, and Figure 3.4 shows connector pin assignments for unbalanced wiring.

NOTE: Custom wiring should only be performed by qualified personnel.

3.5 Choose Output Wire and Connectors

A protective cover is installed over the barrierstrip output. Some models have a cover with two holes. To remove this type of cover:

1. Loosen screws inside top and bottom holes of cover (see Figure 3.6).

2. Slide cover to left or right, then pull it off away from the amplifier.

Crown recommends using professionally constructed, high-quality, two- or four-conductor, heavy gauge speaker wire and connectors. You may use terminal forks up to 10 AWG or bare wire for your output connectors (see Figure 3.5). To prevent the possibility of short-circuits, wrap or otherwise insulate exposed loudspeaker cable connectors. For best results, Crown recommends Panduit part #PV10-10LF-L or equivalent terminal fork. Screw spacing is shown in Figure

3.5. Using the guidelines below, select the appropri-

ate size of wire based on the distance from amplifier to speaker (low-impedance loads only).

3.7 Connect to AC Mains

On the back panel, check whether your amplifier is labeled for 120V or 220-240V AC mains. Connect your amplifier to the corresponding AC mains power source (power outlet) with the supplied AC power cordset. First, connect the IEC end of the cordset to the IEC connector on the amplifier. Then, with the amplifier in the OFF position, plug the other end of the cordset into the AC mains.

WARNING: The third prong of this connector (ground) is an important safety feature. Do not attempt to disable this ground connection by using an adapter or other methods.

Amplifiers don’t create energy. The AC mains voltage and current must be sufficient to deliver the power you expect. Check the amplifier’s back-panel label which specifies the required AC mains voltage and frequency. The AC mains voltage must be no more than 15% above the required voltage, and no less than 25% below the required voltage. The AC mains frequency must be within the required frequency range. If you are unsure of the output voltage of your AC mains, please consult your electrician.

3.8 Startup Procedure

Use the following procedure when first turning on your amplifier:

1. Turn down the level of your audio source.

2. Turn down the level controls of the amplifier.

3. Turn on the “Power” switch. The Power indicator should glow. Wait for the “Ready” LED to illuminate.

4. Turn up the level of your audio source to an optimum level.

5. Turn up the Level controls on the amplifier until the desired loudness or power level is achieved. Verify that the Signal LED is flashing.

6. Turn down the level of your audio source to its normal range.

If you ever need to make any wiring or installation changes, don’t forget to turn off the amplifier and disconnect the power cord.

For help with determining your system’s optimum gain structure (signal levels) please refer to the Crown Ampli- fier Application Guide, available online at www.crownaudio.com.

4 Operation

4.1 Precautions

Your amplifier is protected from internal and external faults, but you should still take the following precautions for optimum performance and safety:

1. Before use, your amplifier first must be configured for proper operation, including input and output wiring hookup. Improper wiring can result in serious operating difficulties. For information on wiring and configuration, please consult the Setup section of this manual or, for advanced setup techniques, consult Crown’s Amplifier Application Guide available online at www.crownaudio.com.

2. Use care when making connections, selecting signal sources and controlling the output level. The load you save may be your own!

3. Do not short the ground lead of an output cable to the input signal ground. This may form a ground loop and cause oscillations.

4. Never connect the output to a power supply, battery or power main. Electrical shock may result.

5. Tampering with the circuitry, or making unauthorized circuit changes may be hazardous and invalidates all agency listings.

6. Do not operate the amplifier with the red Clip LEDs constantly flashing.

7. Do not overdrive the mixer, which will cause clipped signal to be sent to the amplifier. Such signals will be reproduced with extreme accuracy, and loudspeaker damage may result.

8. Do not operate the amplifier with less than the rated load impedance. Due to the amplifier’s output protection, such a configuration may result in premature clipping and speaker damage.

Remember: Crown is not liable for damage that results from overdriving other system components.

5 Advanced Features and Options

NOTE: For detailed information about these Crown amplifier features, please consult the Crown Amplifier Application Guide, available on the Crown website at www.crownaudio.com

5.1 Protection Systems

Your Crown amplifier provides extensive protection and diagnostic capabilities, including thermal level control, fault indicators, highpass filtering, DC protect, AC under/over voltage protection, inrush limiting, and variablespeed fans.

5.1.1 Thermal Level Control (TLC)

If the amplifier becomes too hot for safe operation, the light will shine brightly and TLC will engage the input compressor. By compressing the input, the amplifier will not generate as much heat and will have a chance to cool down. The degree of compression is proportional to the amount of overheating. This feature allows the show to go on, rather than having the amplifier shut down.

5.1.2 Junction Temperature Simulation (JTS) (CTs 600/1200 only)

JTS circuitry simulates the operation of the amplifier’s output transistors, and compares it against the transistors known Safe Operation Area (SOA). If JTS sees that more power is about to be asked of the output devices than they are capable of delivering under the present conditions, JTS immediately limits the drive level until it falls within the SOA. Limiting is proportional and kept to an absolute minimumonly what is required to prevent the possibility of output transistor damage.

This level of protection enables Crown to increase output transistor utilization while also greatly increasing amplifier reliability.

5.1.3 Fault

The amplifier will light the Fault LED if the amplifier output stage stops operating. If this happens, see Section 8 for servicing information.

5.1.4 High-Pass Filters

Very low frequency signals contain no useful musical energy, waste valuable amplifier power and headroom, and can be damaging to your speakers. Your Crown amplifier provides highpass filters to remove these signals from each channel’s output.

On the back panel are two 3-position 3rd-order high-pass filter switches (one per channel) with selections of Off, 35Hz and 70 Hz.

5.1.5 Low-Pass Filters

Gaussian-approximation ultrasonic filters prevent ultrasonic feedback and HF burnout in drivers. This type of filter preserves transient reponse better than a Butterworth filter.

5.1.6 AC Under/Over Voltage

Protection

If the AC line voltage drops below 25% or rises above 15% of the nominal operating voltage of the amplifier, the amplifier’s power supply turns off and the blue Power LED flashes. The amplifier will turn back on when the AC line voltage returns to safe operating levels (within +15% /

-25%).

5.1.7 Circuit Breaker

A circuit breaker located near the IEC power inlet protects the amplifier from excessive AC current draw.

5.1.8 DC Output Servo

The output servo circuit protects your drivers by eliminating DC offset, even in the presence of very large asymmetrical signals.

5.1.9 Inrush Limiting

A soft-start circuit in the power supply minimizes the amplifier’s current draw during power-on.

5.1.10 Variable-speed Fans

Two continuously variable speed fans direct the airflow through the amplifier for cooling.

5.2 Advanced Features

5.2.1 Switching Power Supply

Crown’s Switching Power Supply minimizes the amplifier’s weight.

Typical non-switching power supplies require large, heavy transformers in order to produce the required power at the output stage. These transformers must be large to operate at 50 to 60 Hz (standard AC supplied by the power company).

By contrast, switching power supplies can operate with a much smaller (and lighter) transformer because they first convert the AC up to a much higher frequency, thereby reducing waste.

The power supply is voltage-specific, allowing use in regions using 120V or 240V.

5.2.2 Input Compressor

Prevent input/output overload.

5.2.3 Sleep Circuit

Lowers standby power consumption by shutting down the high-voltage supplies during idle periods.

NOTE: By default, the sleep circuit is not active on the CTs 600/1200, but may be activated as a service option.

5 Advanced Features and Options

5.2.4 Input Sensitivity Switches

To access the Input Sensitivity Switches, turn off the amplifier and remove the PIP2-BBY Input Panel. The switches are in the top surface of the cavity behind the Input Panel. One 3-position switch per channel selects among these settings: CTs 600/1200: 1.4V (8/4 ohms), 26 dB gain, and 1.4V (70V operation). CTs 2000/ 3000: 1.4V (8/4 ohms), 26 dB gain, and 1.4V (70V) / 2V (100V). The Specifications chapter lists the input sensitivity for the 26 dB gain setting.

Figure 5.1 Input Sensitivity Switches for CTs 600/1200

5.3 Options

T-170V: See Figure 5.3. This is an autoformer that allows 100V output from the CTs 600/1200, and allows other amplifiers without direct constant voltage output to be easily integrated into distributed systems.

TP-170V: See Figure 5.4. This is a rack-mountable panel with four autoformers as described above.

PIP Modules

Versatile PIP (Programmable Input Processor) modules provide flexible expansion features that can be added to customize the amplifier. PIP modules plug into the connector inside the back panel of the amplifier. PIP modules are available with features ranging from error-driven compressor/limiters to crossovers to IQ control. Your amplifier is a PIP2 amplifier, which means it can take advantage of the many advanced features found in PIP2 modules. The CTs Series 2-channel models do not accept earlier PIP

REV. A Printed 8/03

Printed in U.S.A.

It is important that you review this addendum

before reviewing the Operation

Manual.

Section 3

With reference to the DUAL/MONO mode switch: Dual mode allows each amplifier channel to operate independently like a stereo amplifier. Installation is intuitive - input Channel 1 feeds output Channel 1 and input Channel 2 feeds output Channel 2. To put the amplifier into the Dual mode, turn it off, slide the DUAL/ MONO switch to DUAL, and properly connect the output wiring.

The MONO switch setting is the BRIDGE-MONO mode and is used to drive loads with a total impedance of at least 4 ohms. For distributed loudspeaker systems, 140 volts (twice the normal 70- volt output) is produced. To put the amplifier into the Bridge-Mono mode, turn it off, and slide the DUAL/MONO switch to MONO. Both outputs will receive the signal from Channel 1 with the output of Channel 2 inverted so it can be bridged with the Channel 1 output. Please note that there is no provision for paralleling the outputs to obtain a

single high-powered 70-volt constant voltage output.

Section 5

Federal Signal will not offer the T- 170V, TP- 170V, or PIP Modules as indicated in Section

5.3 -Options.

I. GENERAL.

1-1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

The Model AR2000-M (see figure 1-1) Audio Router, is a UL listed and cUL certified central control device that is capable of routing a selected audio input to specific zones. It can control signals to speakers designed for 25Vrms line operation or 70Vrms line operation. It can also control 1Vrms signals intended to be amplified with a separate amplification device. The AR2000-M has a public address (PA) function so voice messages or instructions can be announced over the Audio Router system through an optional Model MSB-1 or MNC-1 Micro-

phone. The unit can also be used to play background music generated from an external source over the Audio Router system.

The Model AR2000-M is an audio multiplexing device. It is capable of handling two inputs from any of three different selected source voltages of 1, 25 or 70 volts. The unit has 8 selectable zones which either the A or the B source is routed to. There is an all call button that selects all zones. There are also 8 programmable presets on the unit. The presets are initiated by the front panel buttons or by remote contacts wired to the back panel. The front panel also has a monitor speaker jack. A microphone jack is also available for use with a MSB-1. The microphone has priority over the two user supplied sources. The telephone feature is protected by an 8 key password. Options available allow changing the password and recording a message for broadcasting. Commands entered via the telephone key pad allow the user to send a message to specified zones. The microphone and the telephone interface have the same priority. If the microphone is in use, the telephone interface is disabled. If the phone message system is in use, the microphone is disabled.

If more than eight zones or eight presets are needed by the user, a separate AR2000-Z (See Figure 1-2), zone unit, or AR2000-P (See Figure 1-3), preset unit is available. Each AR2000-Z or AR2000-P unit will add an additional eight zone or preset controls respectively. Up to seven additional Preset or Zone units may be added for a total of 64 zones and 64 presets.

The Model MNC-1 microphone is a hand held, noise canceling microphone that is ideal for use as a local microphone. The Model MSB-1 microphone (See Figure 1-4) is a base station type microphone designed for desktop operation.

The Model AR2000-M may be installed in indoor installations only as a rack mounted device.

The Model AR2000-M is a rack mount unit that will fit any standard 19" rack mount cabinet. The Model AR2000-M can be used for a variety of prioritized signaling purposes, such as playing background music, paging, start and dismissal, phone messaging and other communication applications. Additional advantages of the Model AR2000-M include economical system expansion and long term system flexibility.

Selectone amplified speakers. A Model AM25CK or AM70CK Connector Kit is required in each Selectone device to connect it to the signal line. The Audio Router device supplies 15W at either 25Vrms or 70Vrms. An additional amplifier must be supplied to obtain higher wattage levels. Care must be taken to ensure that the total line impedance of all the connected devices does not cause the line voltage to drop.

Each preset can be manually activated locally with its associated push button switch on the front panel or with a contact closure at the associated preset control input on the back panel. Whenever a preset is activated, either locally or remotely, its associated front panel push button LED illuminates to indicate that the preset has been activated. The LED remains lit until the preset is deactivated or the remote contact closure is removed. As an added feature, when a preset is remotely activated, the associated LED illuminates and flashes until the remote contact closure is removed. All AR2000-M controls are located on the front panel except gain adjustments which are made on the back panel during installation.

Operation (normal mode)

Pressing the Channel A or Channel B button will immediately switch the input to that channel; the speaker indicator lights will indicate what speakers are connected. Pushing a speaker button will turn that speaker on or off; pushing a preset button will select speakers per that preset, and may also select Channel A or B (if that preset was configured for a specific channel).

If the correct password is entered the caller will hear the message “PRESS 9 KEY TO CHANGE THE PASSWORD OR 6 KEY TO RECORD A MESSAGE”.

If the caller presses the 9 key, the message “ENTER NEW PASSWORD” will inform the caller to enter a new password. The same new password must be entered twice. Otherwise, the caller will hear the message “PASSWORD NOT CHANGED” then the message “GOODBYE” and the system hangs up the phone line. If the new password is successfully entered twice, the caller will hear the message “PASSWORD CHANGED” then the message “GOODBYE” and the system hangs up the phone line.

If the caller presses the 6 key, the message “RECORD MESSAGE, PRESS # KEY TO BROADCAST YOUR MESSAGE” prompts the caller to start speaking. The message can be up to 90 seconds long. If the user exceeds 90 second duration, the message will not play back.

At any time during the call, the caller can enter the # key or hang-up the phone to exit. Also, when a key input is necessary, the caller has 5 seconds to enter a key or the system hangs up automatically.

The password can be returned to the default “12345678” by opening the cover of the Router and setting switch SW1 position #4 to the “ON” position for 5 seconds with the power “ON”.

Default is to all zones. Phone receiving is disabled during message playback; therefore, subsequent calls must wait for the current message to be completed before another recording will take place.

Preset operation

The preset optos are a combination of edge and level-tripped. If the system sees an active edge on an opto, it will set the input and output relays for the corresponding preset. The relays will remain set until the input goes away. Setting a Preset:

To set a preset, select the zones desired for the preset by pressing and releasing the appropriate zone button. The LED corresponding to that zone will illuminate. Select the input source (Channel A or Channel B) for that preset. Press and hold the appropriate preset button until it begins to flash. The preset is now set.

This low level output is available at the same terminals as in B and C above. This output is selected by setting the switch on the back of the AR2000-M to the 1 Vrms position. The output audio must also be connected using 18-20GA wire from AUDIO OUT to AUDIO IN FROM EXTERNAL AMP. The Gain may be adjusted using the AUDIO OUT VOLUME control knob. It can also be connected to an analog fiber optic transmitter so that audio can be transmitted over a fiber optic link in an electrically noisy environment.

E. External Amplifier Connection for Alternate

Power Audio Output.

The AR2000-M also has provision to connect an external amplifier, such as the Federal Signal HP440,to be switched to the corresponding zones. Set the Audio Router up as listed in D above. Connect the 1 volt AUDIO OUT to the audio input of another amplifier. The output audio must be connected using appropriate wire gauge for the application to the AUDIO IN FROM EXTERNAL AMP (See figure 3-2.) The Gain may be adjusted using the AUDIO OUT VOLUME control knob.

CAUTION

Careful attention should be paid in order to make sure orientation of the signal is not reversed.

power the local Audio Router Device. If the PS600 is used, it is not necessary to switch the power source if a power failure occurs.

3. Disadvantages of Backup Power System. a. A separate power source for all

remote devices is required. Heavy power lines are required from that power source to the remote devices in the system. The size of the power lines is dependent upon the number of amplifiers and the total distance of the power loop in order to minimize the voltage drop while a signal is being routed.

b. Future expansion is limited by the

current capacity of the power source and the power lines that were initially installed.

c. Central power installations must

comply with local electrical codes. Most power circuits are Class I circuits. Therefore, conduit will probably be required. Installation costs are higher than a local power system.

C. AR2000-M System Power Connections.

DANGER

Installation with the system power on could cause serious injury or death. Do not perform any installation or maintenance on this system when power is on. Ensure that the power is disconnected before proceeding.

b. The entire system can be switched to an emergency standby power source in the event of a power failure.

c. The central power system has the added advantage that an auxiliary power supply, such as the Federal Model PS600 can be used to

WARNING

This device is to be installed by a trained electrician who is thoroughly familiar with the national electrical code (NFPA 70) and local codes and will follow the guidelines.

WARNING

3-8. CONNECTIONS TO REMOTE SWITCHES.

If this unit is to be connected to a non-power limited 24 volt dc supply, the National Electrical Code (NFPA70) requires that those leads be separated from other classes of wiring connected to this unit.

CAUTION

Cross talk, interference, or hum can be induced in signal lines, causing poor audio output or confusing messages, which interferes with the capability of this equipment. Do not install power lines in the same conduit as signal lines.

Operating power is connected to AR2000-M by merely inserting the plug end of the line cord into any standard 120 volt, 60 Hz outlet. The AR2000-M is factory set for 120VAC 50/60Hz operation. If 240 volt operation is preferred, the input block provides a switch that must be set to this position in order to function at 240 VAC operation.

If it is desired to use 24 VDC either as a primary or auxiliary source of power, connect the “+” terminal of 24 volt DC power supply to the “+” terminal at the 24VDC BACKUP POWER terminal on the AR2000-M and “-” terminal of the 24 VDC power supply to the “-“ terminal at the 24VDC BACKUP POWER terminal on the AR2000-M located in the back of the device. (See figure 3-3.)

D. AR2000-P and AR2000-Z Power Connections.

Operating power is connected to AR2000-P and AR2000-Z by merely connecting 24 VDC from the AR2000-M to each unit. A terminal block is provided at the rear-left side of each unit for power connection. Observe and maintain proper polarity when wiring the power to these units. Connect the “+” terminal of the AR2000-M to the “+” terminal of the AR2000-P at the “+” terminal located in the back of device. Connect the “-” terminal of the AR2000-M to the “-” terminal of the AR2000-P at the “-” terminal located in the back of device. An additional 24VDC power outlet is provided on each AR2000-P and AR2000-Z for daisy-chaining the power to each sub-unit. Repeat for each AR2000-P and AR2000-Z.

Setup for the AR2000-P presets is done in the same way as the AR2000-M presets. (See figure 3-4.)

Setup for the AR2000-Z zones is done in the same way as the AR2000-M. An audio input is provided on each unit to be routed to each of the zones it selects. This audio should be connected by wiring a connection from the master audio output to the provided input terminals. (See figure 3-5.) Each additional AR2000-Z should obtain audio in the same manner from the unit above. (See figure 3-5.)

The AR2000-M presets can be activated remotely by any normally open low current switch contacts having a current capacity of at least 50 mA inductive. Figure 3-6 illustrates the connection of switch contacts to the AR2000-M. S1, S2, S3 and S4 represents remote switch contacts such as those found in flow switches, program clocks, heat detectors, and smoke detectors. The remotely activated presets function as long as the activating contacts remain closed. A jumper needs to be placed across OPTO COMMON and the provided +24V terminal next to it on the back of the AR2000-M in order for the remotely activated presets to function. A remote switch may be connected to the ALL CALL position if desired. These are all Normally Open contacts that initiate with contact closure and remain active until the contact is opened again.

3-9. INPUT SOURCE CONNECTIONS.

WARNING

Installation or maintenance on AR2000-M when power is on can result in serious injury or death. Do not perform any installation or maintenance to the system when power is on.

Set selector for CH A to the appropriate input voltage, 1Vrms, 25Vrms or 70Vrms. Connect the “+” of the source device to the “+” terminal at the Channel A input. Connect the “-“ of the source device to the “-“ terminal at the Channel A input. Repeat this process for the Channel B input. CH A and CH B volume controls are available just above each input selector to allow the input gain to be adjusted.

CAUTION

Be certain to set the input selector switch to the appropriate input voltage to avoid damage to the unit and the device being connected.

3-10. COMMUNICATION CONNECTIONS for

AR2000-P and AR2000-Z.

WARNING

It is important that the communication lines be properly connected to their respective communication port. Failure to connect the cables properly will damage the devices and possibly render them inoperable.

The label on the back of each device indicates where the communication cable link should be connected. See figure 3-6 for appropriate placement.
