2 System Overview

2.1 Plena
The Plena Power Amplifier is part of the Plena product
range. Plena provides public address solutions for places
where people gather to work, worship, trade or simply
enjoy themselves. It is a family of system elements that
are combined to create public address systems tailored
for virtually any application. The range includes mixer,
pre, system and power amplifiers, a source unit, digital
message manager, feedback suppressor, conventional
and PC call stations, an ‘All-in-One’ system and a voice
alarm system. Each element is designed to complement
all others thanks to matched acoustical, electrical and
mechanical specifications.
All Plena Power Amplifiers are designed to comply with
IEC 60849 compliant systems.

3.1 Introduction
The Plena Power Amplifier range consists of four mono
amplifiers:
• 120 W LBB1930/20: 2 units high
• 240 W LBB1935/20: 2 units high
• 480 W LBB1938/20: 3 units high
• 1000 W PLN-1P1000: 3 units high.
In this manual all illustrations show either the LBB1938
power amplifier that is 3 units high or the LBB1935
power amplifier that is 2 units high. All connections are
the same between the different power amplifiers.
These power amplifiers have 70 V and 100 V constant
voltage outputs and a low impedance output for 8 Ohm
loudspeakers. Two inputs, priority and input 2 give
priority and controlled outputs. A 100 V slave input
gives connection to existing loudspeaker lines. The line
inputs are balanced and have a loopthrough facility.
The amplifiers have overload and short-circuit
protection. A temperature controlled fan and overheat
protection gives high reliability.
Battery operation with automatic switch-over from the
mains supply is available.
indicators
3.2.1 Front panel connectors and
indicators
See figure 3.1 for an overview of the indicators:
1 VU meter - LED’s for 20, 6, 0 dB and power ON.
2 Pilot-Tone - Supervised function that monitors a
20kHz pilot tone.
3 Battery - Supervised function to indicate battery
operation.
4 Mains - Supervised function to indicate mains
supply.
5 Overheat - Supervised function to give warning of
overheating.
6 Air inlet - Cooling is made by a forced ventilation
from front to back. Amplifiers can be stacked on top
of each other. A supply of cool air from the front is
necessary.

3.3 Internal setting

The output voltage of the priority controlled
loudspeaker outputs can be set to 70 V or 100 V. A high
power fuse inside the unit is used as a voltage selector.
Insert the high power fuse into fuse holder F701 for
100 V selection (default setting), or into fuse holder
F702 for 70 V selection. This selection does not affect
the output voltage of the loudspeaker direct outputs.
Refer to figure 3.3.

3.4 Installation 3.5 External connections

The power amplifier is suitable for table-top and 19-inch
rack-mounting installation. Two brackets for rack- 3.5.1 Connect the back-up power
mounting are supplied. See figure 3.5 for installation supply
details. The power amplifier has a 24 Vdc input (8) screw
terminal to connect a back-up power supply. You must
connect an earth (9) to the unit to increase the electrical
stability of the system.

3.5.2 Connecting line input and

loopthrough
The power amplifier has a balanced line input for
connection to a pre-amplifier or a mixer. Use the
loopthrough connection to connect the power amplifier
to another power amplifier if more power is needed.
Each power amplifier must be connected to its own set
of loudspeakers. Do not connect power outputs to each
other.
Use program line - input 2 (4) and line loopthrough 2 (6)
for normal operation without priority.

3.5.4 100 V slave input

The power amplifiers have a 100 V slave input (18) that
can be connected to an existing 100 V loudspeaker line. Note
In this way it is easy to connect an additional power If the 100 V slave input is used, and the 0 V and
amplifier on a remote location for more output power. 100 V are incorrectly connected, no pilot tone is
The 100 V input is not affected by the control terminals detected on the power amplifier. Refer to
for input 1 priority (20) or input 2 enable (19). section 4.1 for information.

common and normally closed.
If an application does not need supervision, the
indicators on the front panel can be set to OFF with the
switches next to each relay output. The relays always
function and are independent of the indicator switch
setting.

4.1 Input pilot tone

The pilot tone of 20 kHz at -20 dBV supervises the pre-
amplifier, the connections between the pre-amplifier
and the power amplifier and function of the power
amplifier. If the input signal from the pre-amplifier
stops, the mains and battery fail or the power amplifier
stops for any other reason, the pilot tone stops, the Pilot-
Tone fault indication shows on the front panel and a
signal is given on the Input fault relay.
If the power amplifier stops through overheat, then the
Overheat indicator shows on the front panel, the signal
is given on the Input fault relay.
The Pilot-Tone detection indicator can be set to ON or
OFF with the Pilot-Tone detection switch (17). The
Pilot-Tone indicator on the front panel is set to OFF, but
the fault relay switch still functions.

4.2 Battery supervision

The power amplifier supervises the availability of the
back-up power supply.
If the battery supply fails the Battery fault indication
shows on the front panel and a signal is given on the
Battery fault relay.
The Battery Supervision indicator can be set to ON or
OFF with the Battery detection switch (15). The Battery
indicator on the front panel is set to OFF, but the fault
relay switch still functions.
