Introduction to the NAC Modules Overview The NAC modules are offered as optional enhancements to 100 W and Flex amplifiers, as well as the Expansion Signal (XSIG) Card, for either expanding the number of available NACs or converting the existing NACs to Class A operation. This section describes both types of NAC modules. Class A Adapters The 4100-1246 (Flex), 4100-1249 (100 W), and 4100-1267 Expansion Signal Card Class A Adapters are used to convert the existing NACs on the amplifiers to Class A operation. Wiring is normally supervised from the B terminals. In the event of a short or open on the field wiring, power is provided from both the A and B terminals so that all speakers function under a single fault (short or open) condition. Class A wiring does not guarantee all speakers will function if there are multiple faults. Expansion NAC Modules The 4100-1245 (Flex), 4100-1248 (100W), and 4100-1266 Expansion Signal Card XNACs double the NAC capacity of the amplifiers or XSIG card. A Flex Amplifier normally has three (3) Class B NACs available for wiring field circuits. Adding the module to a Flex Amplifier or XSIG card increases the total number of available NACs to six (6). For the 100W Amplifier, the Expansion Modules allow wiring of up to twelve (12) NACs. The additional NACs function in the same way as the original NACs and are monitored for opens, shorts and earth fault isolation while in supervision. NOTE: Using Expansion NAC modules only doubles the number of available NACs, NOT the available power. For example, a 100W amplifier has 100W available for speaker circuits regardless of whether it has six (6) NACs or twelve (12) NACs. Illustration Figure 1 (below) shows the differences in appearance between the XNAC and the Class A adapter. 4100-1245/1248/1266 XNAC 4100-1246/1249/1267 Class A Adapter Figure 1.

Installing the NAC Modules onto the Amplifiers or XSIG Card Mounting NAC Modules The procedure for installing both the Class A and XNAC modules is identical. Refer to Figure 2 and the instructions below to mount the NAC module to an amplifier or XSIG card. Screw Holes TB1 TB1 TB1 P4 or P5 NAC Module 1 P1 P3 NAC Module 2 P1 XSIG Card Flex Amp NAC Module 100 W NAC Module Figure 2. NAC Module Placement 1. Remove and set aside the screws from the area around the NAC expansion header on the amplifier. The screw holes are depicted in Figure 2. 2. Secure threaded metal standoffs provided with modules to the screw holes shown in Figure 2. 3. Align and then connect P1 on the NAC module with one of the following: P1 or P3 on the 100 W amplifier (all Product IDs) P4 on the 4100-1312, -1313, -1326, -1327, -1361, -1362, -1363, & -1364 Flex amplifiers or P5 on the 4100-1212, -1213, -1226, -1227, -1261, -1262, -1263, & -1264 Flex amplifiers P1 on the XSIG card 4. Secure the NAC module to the metal standoffs using the screws set aside in Step 1. 5
