Intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover. WARNING: To prevent electrical shock or fire hazard, this apparatus should not be exposed to rain or moisture, and objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should not be placed on this apparatus. [. . . ] The maximum power current draw rating is limited only by the front panel circuit breaker. consult the specifications in the Appendices section for figures on the current that each amplifier will demand. Unless otherwise specified when ordered, Peavey amplifiers shipped to customers are configured as follows: North America South America 120VAC/60Hz 230/240VAC/60-50Hz 120VAC/60Hz or 240VAC/50Hz Europe, Asia, Australia - Note: Always turn off and disconnect the amplifier from mains voltage before making audio connections. In this mode, the respective channels operate independently of each other, with their input attenuators controlling their respective levels. Parallel Operation For parallel operation (dual-channel operation through one input), turn the amplifier OFF and set the mode switch to the Parallel position; both amplifier channels are then driven by the signal at channel 1's input (no jumper wires are required). output connections are the same as in Stereo mode. In Parallel mode, the input connectors on channel 1 and channel 2 are strapped together to allow patching to another amplifier or to channels 3 or 4. Both input attenuators remain active, allowing you to set different levels for each channel. Power and other general performance specifications are the same as in Stereo mode. The same applies to channels 3 and 4 when their respective mode switch is in the Parallel position; the input connectors on channels 3 and 4 are strapped together to allow patching to another amplifier. Bridged Mono Operation Two amplifier channels (1 and 2 or 3 and 4, respectively), can be bridged together to make a very powerful singlechannel monaural amplifier. Use extreme caution when operating in Bridged mode; potentially lethal voltage may be present at the output terminals. As with Parallel mode, both input connectors are strapped together to drive the input of another amplifier. When operating in the bridged mode, both attenuators of a respective set of channels (i. Channel 1 and 2 or 3 and 4) must be in the same position so the speaker load will be equally shared between the channels. Unlike Stereo and Parallel modes, in which one side of each output is at ground, both sides are hot in Bridged mode. Channel 1's side is the same polarity as its input with the minimum nominal load impedance being 4 ohms (equivalent to driving both channels at 2 ohms) in Bridged mode. Driving bridged loads of less than 4 ohms will activate the DDTTM circuitry, resulting in a loss of power, and may also cause a thermal (overheating) overload. AC Power Circuit Breakers (1) The CS® 800x4 amplifier has two circuit breakers on the back panel. If circuit breaker shuts off during normal use, push it back to the ON position once. If it will not stay ON, the amplifier needs servicing. Channels 1 and 2 or 3 and 4) must be in the same position so the speaker load will be equally shared between the channels. [. . . ] Read the Speaker Protection section and always be aware of the speaker's continuous and peak power capabilities. In the unlikely event that your amplifier develops a problem, it must be returned to an authorized distributor, service center or shipped directly to our factory. To obtain service, contact your nearest Peavey Service Center, Distributor, Dealer, or any of the worldwide Peavey offices. for contact information , reach Peavey Inc. [. . . ]
