when an alarm centre needs to mute the device in order to activate an evacuation siren)

 Local control with backlit keys, digital rotary encoder knob, and front LCD display  Infrared remote control (included): source and volume selection by zones, presets recovery, etc.  Remote control through RS-232 port and CA-NET protocol  2 inputs for independent remote zone control (0-10 VDC) by 2 wall panels: WPmVOL (volume)

or WPmVOL-SR (volume + source or presets selection)

 TALKOVER and/or PAGER functions from microphone inputs  Compatible with MPAGE4 tabletop paging station for sending priority voice messages with the

PAGER function  5 configuration memories (presets) recoverable from the front panel, the IR control, the

WPmVOL-SR control or the RS-232 communications port  AUTO STANDBY function: in the absence of an audio signal the unit automatically goes into

STANDBY mode, minimising power consumption  Lightweight, silent, high-performance amplifier (fan-free convection cooling)

3. INSTALLATION

3.1. Location and assembly

The CA200z can be installed on a tabletop, in a standard 19" wide rack cabinet or in a

standard 9.5" wide half-rack cabinet. Any of these installation options is possible using the available rack installation accessories (kit of 2 2UHRMKIT supports, not included as standard).

3.2. Mains connection

The amplifier is powered by alternating current through its internal power source: 90264VAC and 47-440Hz. The amplifier's AC power cable must be earthed through its mains cable (earth resistance Rg = 30or lower). The working environment should be dry and completely dust-free. Do not expose the unit to rain or water splashes. Do not place liquid containers or incandescent objects such as candles on top of the unit.

Always unplug the unit from the mains supply before working on or connecting/disconnecting the amplifier. There are no elements that can be manipulated by the user inside the amplifier. To avoid buzzing, do not allow the power cable to intertwine with the shielded audio cables that transport the signal.

3.3. Audio input connections

The CA200z accepts two types of signals in its input channels:

 Microphone (MIC): with balanced Euroblock-type connections on the rear panel or

jack (MIC2) connections on the front panel that can accept a signal level between -20 dBV and –50 dBV with adjustable sensitivity through its ADJ control

Note: The microphone inputs have phantom power to supply condenser microphones, activated by the internal jumper (see 10. CONFIGURATION DIAGRAM section). This option comes disabled (OFF) by default or from the factory.

 Line signals (LINE 1 to LINE 4): equipped with a non-balanced mini jack stereo

connection on the front panel (LINE 2) or double RCA on the rear panel (LINE1 to LINE4). They can admit nominal signals of -6 dBV and 0 dBV, with input sensitivity that can be adjusted through internal jumper (see section 10. CONFIGURATION DIAGRAM). These can be used to connect signals from CD players, radio tuners, mixing consoles, media players, PC and tablet audio outputs, etc.

Note: Turntables CAN NOT BE CONNECTED directly to this device because none of the inputs have an RIAA preamp.

Active audio sources are selected/deselected by a short press of the front panel keys labelled LINE 1 to 4, MIC1 and MIC2. The possible source selections are:

 LINE SELECTION:

-Pressing one of the LINE1 to LINE4 keys activates the corresponding line input (LED lit = selected source)

-Two or more sources of this type cannot be selected simultaneously: when one line input is selected, the previous one is deselected

-A selected source (LED lit) is deselected when its key is pressed again (all LEDs off), leaving the unit without an active line

 MICROPHONE SELECTION:

-Pressing either the MIC1 or MIC2 keys activates the corresponding microphone input (LED lit = microphone selected)

-One, both or neither microphone can be selected simultaneously (both LEDs lit)

-A selected microphone (LED lit) is deselected (LED off) when its key is pressed again

Note: Sources can also be selected with a remote control, with a WPmVOL-SR remote control panel (only LINE sources) or with the serial communication port. It is also possible to store presets that have a determined combination of active sources and recover them later with any of the available methods. Continue reading this manual to learn the details of all of these options.

The way in which the active (selected) sources are directed to the unit's outputs depends on its operating mode:

OPERATING

MODE

STEREO (St displayed on the LCD screen)

MONO (Mo displayed on the LCD screen)

BRIDGE (Br displayed on the LCD screen)

ZONES A/B (ZA or ZB displayed on the LCD screen)

The selected line is sent in stereo configuration to the outputs (input L to output A (L) and input R to output B (R)) The selected microphones are either simultaneously sent to both outputs (L and R) either as a direct sum of the line signal or using the TALKOVER / PAGER function (*) The selected line is sent in mono configuration (L+R) to both outputs (input L + input R to outputs L and R) The selected microphones are sent simultaneously to both outputs (L and R) either as a direct sum via the line signal or with the TALKOVER / PAGER function (*)

The selected line is sent in mono configuration (L+R) to the single output in bridge mode (the speakers must be connected using the rear panel's BRIDGE + and connectors) The selected microphones are sent to the single output in bridge mode (rear panel's BRIDGE + and - connectors), either as a direct sum via the line signal or with the TALKOVER / PAGER function (*) Each output zone is monophonic and can have a source selection and/or microphones that are independent from each other:

 ZONE A: can receive the signal from one line (L+R) and/or one of the two

microphones

 ZONE B: can receive the signal from one line (L+R) and/or one of the two

microphones Consequently the two zones are totally independent in terms of output volumes, selection of received sources and broadcast volumes. The microphones can work on the output zone directly, either as a direct sum via the line signal selected or with the TALKOVER / PAGER function (*)

ROUTING SIGNALS TO THE OUTPUTS

(*) If the Talkover function is active, the microphone signal attenuates the line signal when it exceeds the activation threshold. In addition, if an MPAGE4 alert console is connected to the PAGER connector and the PAGER function of the MIC1 input is activated, it is possible to select the destination of the voice message emitted by the console, directing it either to zone A, zone B or both (internally the PAGER connector delivers its microphone signal to the MIC1 input).

3.4. Audio output connections

The amplified outputs (OUT L (A) and R (B)) are equipped with Euroblock connectors. The cable that connects the CA200z outputs and the speakers should be of good quality,

with a suitable cross-section and as short as possible.

The outputs can operate in stereo mode, mono mode (same L+R signal in both channels), bridge mode (L+R signal amplified through both channels, linked together as one) or ZONES A and B independently (each output receives a set combination of active audio sources and volumes). Modes are selected from the unit's SETUP menu (see section 4.2 Special setup mode for more information) or from an external device using the serial or RS-232 port.

In bridge mode, the output signal is connected through the terminals marked BRIDGE + and - on the rear panel.

Remember that the minimum operating impedance for the amplifiers in mono or stereo mode is 4, and 8 when working in bridge mode. For the correct operation of the CA200z, under no circumstances should you work with impedances lower than those specified above.

Attention: only the terminals indicated as BRIDGE on the unit's serigraph can be used for connecting the speakers in bridge mode.

Additionally, the CA200z has an unamplified auxiliary output (AUX OUT) which makes it possible to connect it to amplifiers or other external devices. The auxiliary output AUX OUT supplies a line signal level (0 dBV) which is an unamplified replica of the signal delivered to the terminals

OUTPUT L and R.

3.5. Remote control options

 REMOTE1 and REMOTE2 ports: each RJ-45-type REMOTE connector can be

connected to a WPmVOL or WPmVOL-SR wall control panel (control 0-10 VDC). In STEREO, MONO and BRIDGE modes, the panel connected to the REMOTE1 port actuates on the 2 amplifier outputs and the REMOTE2 port is disabled. In ZONES A and B mode, the panel connected to the REMOTE1 port is associated to output A, and the panel connected to the REMOTE2 port to output B. The following can be controlled from each panel (*):

o the general volume adjustment of the associated output (A, B, or both),

depending on the operating mode selected, STEREO/MONO/BRIDGE/ZONES

o the selection of the LINE source for the associated output (OFF, LINE1,

LINE2, LINE3, LINE4)

o the selection of a preset, from 1 to 5 (**), which, when selected,

recovers the configuration that was stored in memory when the preset was saved (source selection, updating adjustments, volumes, etc.)

(*) WPmVOL can only control the volume, whereas WPmVOL-SR can control the volume and select sources or presets (**) In ZONES (A and B) mode, only one of the two remote panels can recover presets (when this function is activated in one panel, the option automatically disappears from the SETUP menu of the other)

The connection is made with a standard CAT5 cable between the WPmVOL

or WPmVOL-SR wall panel and the CA200z's REMOTE connector.

The total volume of each output is a result of the concatenation of the MASTER volume, adjusted with the rotary encoder knob on the CA200z's front panel or with the infrared remote control, and the REMOTE volume, adjusted with each associated panel, if any.

When actuated, the remote panel volume is displayed for a few moments on the front panel's LCD screen with the text REMOTE VOL 1 or 2 and a volume bar. In ZONES mode, this volume is only displayed if the zone associated with the panel in question has been selected on the screen.

Note: See section 4.2 Special setup mode for instructions on how the operating modes of the ports REMOTE1 and REMOTE2 are programmed.

Note: Configure the internal jumpers on the WPmVOL or WPmVOL-SR panels in 10V/Alog mode for the CA200z to operate correctly

 MUTE port: the MUTE connector on the rear panel makes it possible to connect

an potential-free external contact closure to totally silence the CA200z if an external device actuates on it (example: a centralised emergency and evacuation warning system). For the MUTE port to be active, ports REMOTE1 or REMOTE2 can not be deactivated (OFF position)

o The REMOTE1 port must be active (other than OFF) for the MUTE port

to be able to silence both of the unit's outputs when it receives an external contact closure in STEREO, MONO or BRIDGE modes

o When the port receives a single external contact closure in ZONES

mode, the REMOTE1 port must be active (other than OFF) for the MUTE port to be able to silence output A, whereas the REMOTE2 port must be active (other than OFF) for the MUTE port to be able to silence output B

Note: See section 4.2 Special setup mode for instructions on programming the operating modes of ports REMOTE1 and REMOTE2 to enable the silence function associated with the MUTE port

 RS-232 port: the serial communication port RS-232 allows remote management of

the CA200z from a computer or external control system supporting the CA-NET protocol. See the CA-NET protocol manual for detailed information on connection and the syntaxes of the supported commands. The serial connection specifications are as follows:

o Baud rate: 9600 (fixed, without auto-negotiation)

o Data bits: 8

o Parity: None

o Stop bits: 1

o Flow control: None

o Cable: standard RS-232 DB9-DB9 (pin to pin)

 IR receiver: the integrated IR receptor enables controlling the CA200z with the

remote control that comes with the unit:

o Zone selection keys (ZONE A / B). Enables selecting the output zone

that will be adjusted afterwards. After pressing the A or B key it will be possible to adjust the MASTER volume, use the MUTE control, select audio sources, etc. It is possible to change the selected zone on the unit's front panel by briefly pressing the front rotary encoder knob (only in ZONES mode).

Keys A and B and briefly pressing the rotary encoder knob do not work when the unit is in a mode other than ZONES mode, given that adjustments in these other modes will be shared by both outputs

o VOL + and - keys in the ZONE section: the MASTER volume of the

previously-selected zone increases/decreases by pressing the keys. This works the same as turning the unit's front rotary encoder knob in default operation mode. Pressing and holding these keys increases or decreases the volume continuously.

o MUTE key: activates/deactivates the full silence of the previously-

selected zone

o LINE keys 1 to 4: enable selecting/deselecting a LINE source as active

for the previously-selected zone (the same as the LINE1 to LINE4 keys on the front panel)

o VOL + and - keys in the LINE section: the volume of the previously-

selected source for the likewise previously-selected zone increases/decreases with each press of the key. A single source has independent volume adjustments for sending to zones A and B when operating in ZONES mode (example: the LINE1 source can be sent with volume of 50 to zone A and at a volume of 62 to zone B, etc.). If no LINE is selected, these controls are not operative, and the LCD screen displays the message "LINE NOT SELECTED"

o MIC1/MIC2 keys: enable selecting/deselecting a MIC source as active

for the previously-selected zone (the same as the MIC1 and MIC2 keys on the front panel)

o VOL + and - keys in the MIC1 or MIC2 section: the volume of the MIC

source in question for the previously-selected zone increases/decreases with each press of the key. A single microphone source has independent volume adjustments for sending to zones A and B when operating in ZONES mode (example: MIC1 can be sent at a volume of 35 to zone A and at a volume of 57 to zone B, etc.)

o PRESET keys: enable recovering one of the CA200z 5 presets or

configuration memories. These keys must be held down for a few seconds to recover the preset in question, while the active preset is displayed on the LCD screen as P1, P2, P3, P4 or P5

o ON/STBY key: Enables changing from STANDBY mode to ON mode

and vice versa. To change from ON to STANDBY, this key must be pressed and held for a few moments

Note: The first time a key that actuates in timed mode is pressed (PRESET 1-5 and ON/STBY), it wakes up the LCD panel if it is off, in attenuated inactivity in the DIMMED or OFF modes, or if the CA200z is in AUTO STAND BY mode. If the key is held down (long pulsation) or released and pressed again, the CA200z will execute the associated function.

4. OPERATION AND USAGE

4.1. Initial operation and default mode

It is best to switch on the devices in the following order: sound sources, mixing unit, equalisers, active filters and processors, and finally power amplifiers. The devices should be switched off in the reverse sequence. By following this order, the transients produced from to switching the devices on or off will not affect those further on in the chain and will be inaudible.

The CA200z is switched on by connecting the unit to the mains using an IEC cable

(MAINS INPUT on the rear panel) and the ON/OFF switch on the rear panel. The front panel ON/STBY LED will light up in green if the unit is in operating mode (ON), in steady orange if it is in rest or power save mode (STANDBY) and in blinking green and orange if the unit has the AUTO STANDBY function enabled and has entered this mode due to a lack of audio input signals.

When it is switched on and in operating mode (ON), the unit will be in the default configuration or ready for MASTER volume adjustment (output volume) and zone and audio source selection. In STEREO, MONO and BRIDGE modes, the MASTER volume is the same for the unit's two A and B outputs. In ZONES mode, the LCD screen displays the selected zone in the top left corner (ZA or ZB). To change the selected zone, press the front panel's rotary encoder knob briefly (each key press changes from ZA to ZB, or from ZB to ZA, etc.). After the zone is selected, turning the front encoder knob will change the MASTER output volume of that zone, with the change displayed on a volume bar on the LCD screen.

When a zone is selected and the volume adjusted using the infrared remote control, the LCD screen's visual indicators will be exactly the same as when they are changed and adjusted with the rotary encoder knob on the front panel.

In default mode it is also possible to activate or deactivate audio sources by briefly pressing the LINE1, LINE2, LINE3, LINE4, MIC1 or MIC2 front panel keys (or with the infrared remote control). A brief press of one of the LINE or MIC keys activates/deactivates said audio source in the previously-selected zone. Only one (or none) of the 4 LINE sources can be active in each output zone. It is possible, however, to activate one or even both microphones (or none) in each output zone.

See section 4.3 Front panel keys LINE 1 to LINE4, MIC1 and MIC2 for more information on the ADVANCED adjustment mode for the LINE and MIC inputs, accessed by pressing and holding down their respective keys on the front panel.

4.2. Special setup mode

The CA200z's special SETUP mode can be accessed by pressing and holding the front rotary encoder knob. This mode is for adjusting the unit's operating mode (STEREO, MONO, BRIDGE or ZONES), setting the LCD screen contrast, recovering presets (configuration memories), etc.:

To enter SETUP MODE press and hold the front knob for more than 2.5 seconds

Notes:

1. The special adjustment mode can be exited at any time (returning to the default mode) by briefly pressing any front panel key or not touching the controls for 20 seconds.

2. AUTOLOAD PRESET 1: when this function is active (ON) the CA200z will recover preset

no. 1 every time it starts up (using the ON/OFF switch on the rear panel or the power supply).

3. REMOTE1/REMOTE2:

o When OFF mode is selected, the REMOTE port in question is disabled along

with its associated MUTE function, which is triggered by closing the external contact connected to the MUTE port on the rear panel

o When the VOL + INPUTS mode for a remote port is selected, it can manage the

remote volume in its associated zone (using a WPmVOL-type panel) or the remote volume and the active LINE source selection in its associated zone (using a WPmVOL-SR-type panel). The options on the panel are OFF, LINE1, LINE2, LINE3, and LINE4, corresponding to the 5 physical positions of the dial on the remote panel

o When the VOL + PRESETS mode for a remote port is selected, it will be able to

manage the remote volume in its associated zone (using a WPmVOL-type panel) or the remote volume and the CA200z's active preset selection, from 1 to 5 (using a WPmVOL-SR-type panel)

o As only one of the two REMOTE ports can be configured in VOL + PRESETS

mode, the other will not display this option in the SETUP menu

See section 3.5 Remote control options for more details on remote management from the REMOTE ports based on the operating mode selected on the CA200z (STEREO, BRIDGE, MONO or ZONES)

4. When switching on the unit or recovering a given preset with any of the available methods (starting up the equipment with the AUTOLOAD PRESET 1 option activated, using the front panel, infrared remote control, RS-232 communication port, etc.), the physical position of the dial on the wall panels connected to the REMOTE ports (if any) will be bypassed if the CA200z's start up or new presets have source selection or presets adjustments that differ from that physical position. As soon as the wall panel dial is used again, the panels will synchronise with the CA200z unit, with the new selection prevailing

4.3. LINE 1 to LINE4, MIC1 and MIC2 front panel keys

A short press of one of the LINE or MIC keys activates/deactivates said audio source in

the previously-selected zone (see section 4.1 for selecting zones in ZONES mode). Only one (or none) of the 4 LINE sources can be active in each output zone. It is possible, however, to activate one or even both microphones (or none) in each output zone. Press and hold one of the LINE keys to access its detailed adjustments (VOL, BASS, TREBLE). The complete process for entering and operating in this special adjustment mode, as well as the available adjustment options, are shown in the following graphic:

Note: It is possible to exit the special adjustment mode (returning to the default mode) at any time by briefly pressing any front panel key or waiting 20 seconds without working the controls.

Note: In ZONES mode, the detailed LINE input adjustments are made independently for the selected zone, A or B: a single LINE audio source can be adjusted with different volume and tone controls for zones A or B. In STEREO, MONO and BRIDGE (single zone) modes, the detailed adjustments are shared, given that there are no zones for independently directing and adjusting the audio sources. During detailed adjustments of a LINE input, the affected zone is displayed in the top left corner of the LCD screen (ZA or ZB).

To enter the LINE SETUP MODE, first select zone A or B with a tap of the front knob

or the IR remote (only when using the ZONES mode), then press LINE1 or LINE2 or

Pressing and holding down one of the MIC keys accesses its detailed adjustments. The

complete process for entering and operating in this special adjustment mode, as well as the available adjustment options, are shown in the following graphic:

Note: It is possible to exit the special adjustment mode (returning to the default mode) at any time by briefly pressing any front panel key or waiting 20 seconds without working the controls.

Note: In ZONES mode, the detailed VOL adjustment of the MIC inputs are made independently for the selected zone, A or B, and a single MIC audio source can be adjusted with different volumes for zones A and B (but with the same BASS/TREBLE adjustments for both destination

zones). In STEREO, MONO and BRIDGE (single zone) modes, the detailed adjustments are shared, given that there are no zones for independently directing and adjusting the audio sources.

To enter the MIC SETUP MODE, first select zone A or B with a tap of the front knob or

the IR remote (only when using the ZONES mode), then press MIC1 or MIC2 key and

Notes regarding the ADVANCED adjustments for MIC1 and MIC2 inputs:

 Contrary to the detailed LINE or MIC input adjustments, the ADVANCED MIC

input adjustments (TALKOVER and NOISE GATE functions) are unique and individualised for each MIC input (MIC1, MIC2), but shared for the possible destination zones, A and B, when working in ZONES mode. For example: a 20 dB adjustment of the Talkover function threshold for the MIC1 input will be considered the activation threshold of that function, regardless of whether the MIC1 Talkover function is assigned to zone A, zone B or both. For this reason, instead of indicating the affected zone as is displayed in other types of adjustments (ZA or ZB), the top left corner of the LCD screen will display “- -” during the adjustment process of said advanced parameters.

 TALKOVER ASSIGN: When the Talkover function is assigned to an output from a

MIC input, the microphone signal will cause an attenuation of the active LINE signal in that output zone (and also of the other microphone, unless that microphone has an active Talkover function with higher priority) when the microphone exceeds the Talkover or detection threshold. The possible assignments are:

o ZONE A o ZONE B o ZONES A-B (both zones) o PAGER: real-time voice message function with zone selection, or

paging (zone A, B or both). Only available when using an MPAGE4 desktop console connected to the PAGER port on the CA200z's rear panel. The console uses the MIC1 input for managing the PAGER function and its internal jumpers must be in the 10 V / ALOG positions (see the MPAGE4 console manual for more details). In the CA200z's ZONES mode, the operative keys on the MPAGE4 unit will be the zone 1 and 2 (A and B on the CA200z) selection keys, whereas in STEREO, MONO and BRIDGE modes, only the zone 1 selection key will be operative.

Note: In PAGER mode, the MIC1 input is silenced unless a call is being made from the MPAGE4 station (= zones selection + pressing the MPAGE4's PAGE button). Adjusting the output level of the MPAGE4 unit with its internal potentiometers is also recommended to correctly couple the unit to the CA200z (see the MPAGE4 console manual for more details)

o OFF: MIC input's TALKOVER function disabled

 TALKOVER PRIORITY: The Talkover function of the MIC1 and MIC2 inputs can

have the same or different priority levels. The effect of this hierarchy of priorities is as follows:

o MIC1 and MIC2 with the same Talkover priority (both 2 (LOW) or

both 1 (HIGH)): the first of the two microphones whose Talkover

actuates on a destination zone (its signal exceeds the detection threshold) disables the Talkover of the other microphone in the same zone until the Talkover of the first microphone stops actuating (its signal drops below the activation threshold), at which time the Talkover function can be activated again by the first microphone to exceed the threshold

o MIC1 and MIC2 with different priorities: When the microphone with

the higher priority, whose Talkover is assigned to a destination zone, is activated (its signal exceeds the detection threshold), it disables the Talkover of the other microphone in the same zone. If the microphone with a lower priority has its Talkover function activated at a given moment, the activation of the microphone with the higher priority would also interrupt it until the higher priority Talkover ceases actuating (after its signal drops below the activation threshold again)

 TALKOVER THRESHOLD: trigger threshold of the Talkover function. The

microphone signal in question activates its Talkover function when said threshold is exceeded. This trigger level depends on the sensibility level of the microphone (rear panel), but is independent of the VOL adjustment of the MIC inputs ADVANCED adjustments menu

 TALKOVER ATTACK: the time the Talkover function takes to actuate, from the

moment the microphone signal exceeds the trigger threshold

 TALKOVER RELEASE: The time the Talkover function takes to cease actuating,

from the moment the microphone signal drops below the trigger threshold again

 TALKOVER DEPTH: The attenuation applied by the Talkover function on the

active line signal when triggered

 NOISE GATE: noise gate function for the microphone input. When this function is

active, the MIC input is muted whilst there is no signal above the NOISE GATE function activation threshold, such that the unit rejects the background noise captured by the microphone connected to it

 NOISE GATE THRESHOLD: NOISE GATE function trigger threshold

4.4. AUTO STANDBY Function

The CA200z's AUTO STANDBY (rest or power saving mode) enables leaving the device connected to the mains indefinitely such that the rest mode can be automatically deactivated when there is an input signal and activated when there is none.

To enable AUTO STANDBY mode, the mode's ON option must be activated in special setup mode. See section 4.2 Special setup mode for more details.

One of the following two situations may occur when the AUTO STANDBY mode is

enabled:

a) There is NO audio signal in the inputs. Result: the amplifier immediately goes into

AUTO STANDBY mode

b) If there is an audio signal in the inputs. Result: the amplifier stays active

When it is enabled and there is no audio signal (or a very weak one below the activation

threshold) in any of the unit's inputs for two minutes or more, the CA200z automatically goes into AUTO STANDBY mode, and the ON/STBY LED lights up in green with orange flashes, and the LED indicators for the inputs and LCD screen switch off.

If the front panel controls or infrared remote control are actuated w

hile the CA200z is in

AUTO STANDBY mode, the LCD screen will light up for a short period (even when the LCD

MODE has been adjusted in the OFF or DIMMED options), and will switch off or dim again if the conditions to keep it from exiting AUTO STANDBY mode are still met.

If, to the contrary, the unit is manually forced into STANDBY mode using the ON/STBY key on the infrared remote control, the unit will not respond to keys being pressed on the front panel, nor will the LCD screen light up, until it is woken up by again pressing the ON/STBY key or briefly pressing the front panel rotary encoder knob; the unit will then switch to ON mode.

4.5. LED indicators

 SP: The signal presence or SP LED indicator shows whether there is a signal on

any of the amplifier's inputs. This lights up when the input level reaches the established detection threshold.

 CLIP: The saturation or CLlP LED indicator lights up when the signal delivered to

the speakers is close to the amplifier's clipping or saturation level. Input signals should be adjusted to ensure the CLIP (saturation or cut off) indicators never stay lit, but that at most they light up to the rhythm of the lowest bass frequencies. Otherwise the amplified signal will be distorted with low-quality and intelligible sound.

Note: The CA200z has an "ANTICLIP" circuit that is always active, constantly analysing the harmonic distortion (produced by excessive trimming of the signal to the amplifier output), automatically reducing the input level and actuating only when the distortion limit is exceeded

 ON/STBY:

o it lights up green when the equipment is in normal operation mode. In

this mode, it blinks when it receives commands from the infrared remote control

o it lights up orange when in standby mode, a mode accessed by pressing

the ON/STBY key on the infrared remote control.

o it lights up in green with orange flashes when the unit has automatically

entered AUTO STANDBY mode

4.6. Lock mode

To enter or exit the CA200z's lock mode, the combination of LINE4 + MIC1 + the front rotary encoder knob must be pressed and held for several moments.

To protect the device from tampering, it cannot be operated with the front panel keys while in lock mode. In this mode, the LCD screen will display PANEL LOCKED every time there is an attempt to operate with the keys.

When exiting the mode with the same key combination, the LCD panel will display PANEL UNLOCKED for a short period of time.

Note: Once the lock mode is activated it will remain so even when the unit is switched off and on again. It will stay locked until the three-key combination described above is pressed and held.

4.7. Restore default settings and update firmware

To restore the CA200z to factory settings, follow this procedure:

1. Press and hold the front rotary encoder knob with the unit switched off

2. Keeping it pressed, switch on the unit with the ON/OFF switch on the rear panel. The LCD panel will show a special message indicating that the CA200z is ready to be switched off in order to recover the default adjustment mode when it is switched on again

3. Wait a few seconds and then switch the CA200z off again

4. The next time it is switched on, the factory settings will be in the memory

Note: for instructions on how to update the unit's firmware, see the product web page at

www.ecler.com

, where you will find the update software utility and instructions on how to proceed.

5. CLEANING

The CA200z must not be cleaned with solvents or abrasive substances which may damage the prints. Clean using a cloth moistened in water and a neutral liquid detergent, then dry with a clean cloth. Under no circumstances allow water to enter any of the orifices in the equipment.
