Page 20: Planning The Power Of The Electrical Generator
Installation Planning the power of the electrical generator Electrical generator You must power on the generator before powering on the product. Verify that the product is turned off before powering on the generator. LA8 draws 16 A from 230 V. A typical generator has a power factor of 0.8 and should operate at 70% load for good efciency.
-
Page 21: Heat Power Calculation
Installation Heat power calculation If a 4 Ω load is connected to each output channel of the LA8, each channel delivers up to 1800 W. With a standard use at 1/8 of full power (9 dB headroom), the power delivered per channel is: 1800 / 8 = 225 W, so a total power of 4 x 225 = 900 W.

Installation Analog audio Balanced cables Symmetrical (balanced) shielded cables are highly recommended as balanced signals are less sensitive to AC hum and radio interference. Unbalanced lines may add noise especially over long cable runs.

Operation The parameters of the currently loaded preset can be set individually for each output channel or channel set. Channel set In certain presets, some channels are interdependent and form a channel set. Within a channel set the preset parameters are common to all channels.

Operation FALLBACK MODE Sound cuts in case of digital signal failure on the AES/EBU input can be avoided with the fallback option. When automatic fallback is enabled (ON), the amplied controller automatically switches the analog input in case of digital signal failure . Switchover conditions No clock, loss of lock, CRC error, bipolar encoding error or data slip triggers the automatic fallback. -
Page 52
Operation AES/EBU GAIN AES/EBU GAIN must be used when the fallback mode is enabled to align the digital audio source level to the analog level for a seamless fallback switch — refer to section FALLBACK MODE (p.51). AES/EBU gain can be set from -12 dB to +12 dB by steps of 0.1 dB. -

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read this manual
2. Follow all SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS as well as DANGER and OBLIGATION warnings
3. Never incorporate equipment or accessories not approved by L-ACOUSTICS®
4. Read all the related PRODUCT INFORMATION documents before exploiting the system
The product information document is included in the shipping carton of the related system component.
5. Environments
Use the product only in E1, E2, E3, or E4 environments according to EN55103-2 standard.
6. Radio interference
A sample of this product has been tested and complies with the limits for the EMC (Electro Magnetic
Compatibility) directive. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
from electrical equipment. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation.
7. Power cord caution
Do not use the product if the power cord is broken or frayed.
Protect the power cord from being walked upon or pinched — particularly at the plugs and the point where the
power cord exits from the apparatus.
8. Mains supply
Only connect the LA8 (CE type) or LA8US (US type) to an AC power outlet rated 230 V, 16 A, 50 — 60 Hz or
120 V, 30 A, 50-60 Hz.
Only connect the LA8JP (Japan model) to an AC power outlet rated 100 V, 30 A, 50 — 60 Hz or 200 V, 15 A,
50-60 Hz.
9. Three-phase circuit
Verify that each phase works, in particular the neutral one.
Balance the loads between the three phases.
Never try to reproduce a 230 V circuit connecting an LA8 or an LA8US to two live wires of a 120 V three-phase
circuit.
Never try to reproduce a 200 V circuit connecting an LA8JP to two live wires of a 100 V three-phase circuit.
10. Electrical generator
You must power on the generator before powering on the amplified controllers.
Verify that the amplified controllers are turned off before powering on the generator.
11. Thermal circuit breaker
Always interconnect a thermal circuit breaker between the product and the mains.
The circuit breaker current rating depends on the mains voltage rating as follows:
16 A for 230 V or 30 A for 120 V (LA8 or LA8US), 15 A for 200 V or 30 A for 100 V (LA8JP).
12. Grounding
To plug the controller to mains only use an outlet fitted with a pin tied to ground.
Do not defeat the ground pin of the outlet as it connects the controller to earth. If the local outlet is obsolete,
consult an electrician.
The product is fitted with a grounding-type plug. Do not defeat the ground wire connecting the plug’s female
contact to the product’s chassis.
13. Plug replacement
If the AC plug on the power supply cord of this product does not match the local outlet, it must be replaced by an
appropriate one. This operation should only be performed by qualified service personnel.
Verify that the cut-off plug is withdrawn from use, as it can cause severe electrical shock if connected to an AC
outlet.
