INTRODUCTION

The Hafler PR02400 is a two channel medium power audio
amplifier which has been engineered to meet high perfor-
mance and reliability standards while maintaining
affordability.

The amplifier employs a sonically proven circuit topology
driving MOSFET output devices. These devices provide
exceptional reliability as a result of their inherent rugged-
ness and resistance to abusive operating conditions. Con-
sequently. the PR02400 is capable of delivering high
current into low impedance loads, and generally the ampli-
fier will not be damaged in the case of accidental short
circuit at the output. The drive circuitry is a simple and
effective arrangement using high quality components to
ensure longevity and, above all. sonic excellence.

INSTALLATION

VENTILATION

Adequate air flow is important to the continuing reliability
of any power amplifier. Cool air must be able to circulate
freely through the perforations in the cover and under the
chassis, and around the heatsinks. It is expected that the
amplifier will always be resting on its feet. which should be
on a hard enough surface that air flow underneath will not
be obstructed. If the amplifier is mounted in a rack, or
through a panel, the feet may be removed so long as
adequate ventilation is provided through the bottom open-
ings. It is normal for the cover and heatsinks to become
warm during use.

MOUNTING

The front panel is designed to fit a standard 19" rack at 5.25"
intervals or alternatively the unit may be stacked. The feet
may also be removed if desired when rack mounting.

LINE CONNECTIONS AND SWITCHING

The PRO2400 is normally wired for use on 120V AC power
lines, as in the USA. If your line voltage is different,
alternate connections are available inside the amplifier for
100, 120, and 230 VAC. Consult the schematic and/or the
factory. Units wired for 230 VAC may be operated over a
range of 220-240 VAC with no compromise in safety or
performance. Be sure your amplifier is wired for your line
voltage before you plug it in.

The PR02400s power switch may be left on. and the
amplifier switched remotely by connecting its line cord to
a pre-amplifier (or other control center) which provides a
switched 3-way AC outlet. Make sure that the control
device can supply acurrent of 10 Amperes to the PR02400.
in addition to the current required by any other switched
units. You may instead connect the amplifier directly to a
wall outlet and control it with its own front panel power
switch.

Carts and Stands
The equipment should be used only with a cart or stand
of sutticient strength and stability For the use intended.

An equipment and cart combination should be moved
with care. Quick stops, excessive torce, and uneven
surfaces may cause the equipment and cart combination
to topple

Power Lines
An outdoor antenna should be located away From power
lines.

18.

Outdoor Antenna Grounding

It on outside antenna is to be used with the HaHer Tuner,
be sure that the antenna system is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges and built
up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information
with respect to the proper grounding ot the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location otantenna discharge unit, connections to ground-
ing electrodes, and requirements For the grounding elec-
trode. See Figure I.
