Regulatory information | vii
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is one of the most signicant factors leading to damage and failure of a wide variety
of electronic components.
Poor handling can cause internal damage, which is
invisible. This internal damage can then cause electrical
failure or reliability problems.
It is recommended that all workstations where
Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive devices (ESDS)
and assemblies are handled outside of full static protection
packaging (i.e. within static control areas) should be provided with some form of ground conductive or dissipative
ooring.

7 : 1.Welcome
Congratulations on your purchase of the Powersoft
LiteMod 4HC module.
We know you are eager to use the LiteMod module, but
please take a moment to read this user’s manual and safety
instructions. In case you have any questions, please do not
hesitate to contact your dealer or Powersoft.
The LiteMod 4HC is a four channel amplier modules
specically designed to drive high power loudspeakers.
The LiteMod 4HC represents an important evolution
in power amplier modules: extremely compact and lightweight LiteMod 4HC can be easily integrated into any appliance such as active loudspeakers and stand alone rack
ampliers.
The new design of the power supply equipped
with PFC, reduces power consumption (less than 0.9
W in standby) while enhancing reliability and consistency in all operating conditions. The high efciency
of the output stage improves overall performance
delivering pristine power and clean output signal.
A dedicated optional DSP board can be easily plugged to
the module providing a complete solution in a compact
package.
Powersoft LiteMod 4HC is the ultimate exible platform
suiting your application design.
7 : 2.Unpacking & checking for shipping damage
Your Powersoft product has been completely tested and
inspected before leaving the factory. Carefully inspect the
shipping package before opening it, and then immediately
inspect your new product. If you nd any damage notify the
shipping company immediately.
7 : 3.Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packing has been selected
from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled.
Rather than just throwing these materials away, please
ensure they are offered for recycling.

Thermal constraints
8
This device must be correctly heatsinked for proper and
reliable operation: an appropriate external passive heat sink
guarantees by design thermal efciency and reliability.
Proper heatsink planarity is strongly suggested to allow thermal transfer from the module’s bottom plate to the
heatsink; a thermal compound may be used, but it is not
strictly necessary.
In order to ensure proper ventilation of the module, reasonable spacing of at least 100 mm must be left between
the frame of the unit and any side component or surface of
the enclosure.
The module has been designed to t into a loudspeaker
cabinet: please refer to FIGURE 1 for proper module placing.
IN FIGURE 1 HEATSINK FINS ARE SET HORIZONTALLY
(WRONG!) ONLY FOR DESCRIPTIVE PURPOSE.
All conguration showed in FIGURE 1 are viable for
proper module placing and cooling. We suggest to position the module vertically with respect the ground in order
to take advantage of the chimney effect for ventilation and
heat dissipation.
In FIGURE 1.a the module and the loudspeakers share
the same room into the cabinet. This is the default placement solution: it allows good ventilation because of woofer
diaphragm movement and high air volume; be aware of
magnetic eld interaction: place the module far enough from
loudspeakers magnet in order to prevent fans blockage.
FIGURE 1.b shows the more efcient cooling congura-
tion, even if it is less effective against dust and moisture
that can get into the module. By allowing external air ow,
it is possible to reduce the ns width on the heatsink by
maintaining good cooling performances.

The maximum dissipated power can be calculated as:

170
= 0.14°C/W
lower than 75°C if the heatsink has a thermal resistance

up to 45 °C.

Be aware of
magnetic leakage
8 : 1.Heatsink performance
Here we suggest a rule of thumb to calculate the thermal
resistance of the heatsink.
The absolute thermal resistance of the heatsink is the
temperature difference (kelvin or celsius) across it structure
when a unit of heat energy ows through it in unit time (watt).
For seek of simplicity: a heatsink with low thermal resistance
offers high heat dissipation, as well as a low electric resistance allows high current owing through a conductive wire.
In order to dene the maximum allowed thermal resistance for the heatsink let assume the following:
e as the amp module efciency
cf as the crest factor of the audio signal
W
as the peak power delivered by the module
max
T
as the highest ambient temperature
amb
T
as the highest operating temperature

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) & Safety
9 : 1.AC MAINS filter
In order to improve the electromagnetic compatibility
an EMC lter must be inserted before the AC MAINS
plugs on the power supply. Powersoft suggests:
YanBixinKeji YB12E3-6A-W(R)
YanBixinKeji YB12E4-10-Q
Delta 05DBAW5
FIGURE 2: Typical electrical schematic of the EMI Filter.
9 : 2.Cabling
Wiring between the amp module and the load may lead
to radio frequency noise. The following guide lines should
be observed:
reduced cabling length is advisable;
keep cable pairs as close as possible to each other in
order to minimize the antenna effect;
design the cabling path far from RF noise source;
set the cabling for RF noise rejection: shielded or
twisted cables are advisable conguration (ref.
FIGURE 4);
place ferrites as close to the module as possible
Loose pair
Configuration
prone to high
RF noise
Wrap both cables around one side of each ferrite so that
it pass through each ferrite twice (ref. FIGURE 3). Install the
ferrite shield as close as possible to where the cable plugs
into the amplier. Placing the ferrite elsewhere on the cable
noticeably reduces its effectiveness.
FIGURE 3: Ferrite core installation on I/O wirings.
9 : 4.Chassis shielding
If not already present on the product, a full body metal
chassis or a shielding cage will provide best shielding of RF
emission. In order to achieve the highest shielding, minimize
the amount and size of holes or opening in the chassis.

Reject RF noise from input and output cabling by installing ferrite shields. Powersoft suggests the FAIR RITE
0431164181, or equivalent.
9 : 5.Mains Fuse
Mains voltage cable must by protected by an external
Time delay fuse of 15A rating (Littlefuse Series 326). Replace
the fuse with the same type and rating.
9 : 6.Earth connection
This device must be powered exclusively by earth
connected mains sockets in electrical networks
compliant to the IEC 364 or similar rules. Is absolutely necessary to verify this fundamental requirement of safety and,
in case of doubt, require an accurate check by a qualied
personal.
Is absolutely necessary to ground this device using the
proper earth connection on the metal frame of the chassis; use M4 nut and bolt with proper split washer – grover
washer – to secure the earth terminal lug.
