3.6 Bypass Power Wiring
For emergency operation, the CP500 comes equipped with an independent external
mains power module. If the main power supply or processor circuitry fails, the unit
will automatically switch to bypass operation, allowing the show to continue with
limited sound processing functions. The unit can also be switched manually to
bypass operation by pushing a button located inside the front panel and labeled
POWER/BYPASS.
In some countries the primary cable for the module may not have a mains plug
fitted. These unterminated leads must be as follows:
Brown wire -- Live or hot Blue wire -- Neutral
NOTE
:
If you are uncertain about the wiring of your mains outlet do not use it. Consult a qualified
electrician.
For safety reasons, the bypass power module contains an internal fuse.
DO NOT
connect the module to AC
mains power until the output wires have been connected to the CP500. Otherwise, shorted secondary wires
will blow the fuse.
Install the ferrite clamp on the bypass power supply cable where it connects to the
back of the CP500. Open the clip and wrap the bypass power supply wire around
one side of the ferrite three times so that the loops lie inside the ferrite channel.
Close the clip until it snaps firmly closed. Make sure that the bypass power supply
cable is not pinched between the halves of the ferrite clamp.
