Safety Instructions
Every person involved with the installation, operation and maintenance of this system has to:
be qualified
follow the instructions of this manual
Before you initial start-up, please make sure that there is no damage caused by transportation. Should there be any, consult your dealer and do not use the system.
To maintain perfect condition and to ensure a safe operation, it is absolutely necessary for the user to follow the safety instructions and warning notes written in this manual.
Please consider that damages caused by manual modifications to the system are not subject to warranty.
This system contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer servicing to qualified technicians only.
Ordercode: D6180 2
ZPA-6240TU
IMPORTANT:
The manufacturer will not accept liability for any resulting damages caused by the non-observance of this manual or any unauthorized modification to the system.
Never let the power cord come into contact with other cables! Handle the power cord and all connections with the mains with particular caution!
Never remove warning or informative labels from the unit.
Never use anything to cover the ground contact.
Never leave any cables lying around.
Do not insert objects into air vents.
Do not connect this system to a dimmerpack.
Do not switch the system on and off in short intervals, as this would reduce the system’s life.
Do not open the device and do not modify the device.
Do not drive the inputs with a signal level bigger, than required to drive the equipment to full output.
Do not plug mics into the console (or stagebox) while phantom power is on. Also mute the monitor /
Pa system when turning phantom power on or off. Allow the system to adjust for a couple of seconds, before setting the input gains.
Only use system indoors, avoid contact with water or other liquids.
Avoid flames and do not put close to flammable liquids or gases.
Always disconnect power from the mains, when system is not used. Only handle the power cord by the plug. Never pull out the plug by tugging the power cord.
Always operate the unit with the AC ground wire connected to the electrical system ground.
Make sure you do not use the wrong kind of cables or defective cables.
Make sure that the signals into the mixer are balanced, otherwise hum could be created.
Make sure you use DI boxes to balance unbalanced signals; All incoming signals should be clear.
Make sure that the available voltage is not higher than stated on the rear panel.
Make sure that the power cord is never crimped or damaged. Check the system and the power
cord from time to time.
Please turn off the power switch, when changing the power cord or signal cable, or select the input mode switch.
Extreme frequency boosts in connection with a high input signal level may lead to overdriving your equipment. Should this occur, it is necessary to reduce the input signal level by using the input control.
To emphasize a frequency range, you do not necessarily have to move its respective control upward; try lowering surrounding frequency ranges instead. This way, you avoid causing the next piece of equipment in your sound path to overdrive. You also preserve valuable dynamic reserve
(“headroom”).
Avoid ground loops! Always be sure to connect the power amps and the mixing console to the same electrical circuit to ensure the same phase!
If system is dropped or struck, disconnect mains power supply immediately. Have a qualified engineer inspect for safety before operating.
If the system has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your system. Leave the system switched off until it has reached room temperature.
If your Dap Audio device fails to work properly, discontinue use immediately. Pack the unit securely
(preferably in the original packing material), and return it to your Dap Audio dealer for service.
Repairs, servicing and electric connection must be carried out by a qualified technician.
For replacement use fuses of same type and rating only.
WARRANTY: Till one year after date of purchase.

Description of the device
Features
The DAP Audio ZPA-6240TU is a 6-zone 100V amplifier, ideal for multizone public address systems. The power consumption of the amplifier is 240W, divided into 6x40W, with separate volume control for each zone. All outputs are protected by an overload and overheating detector. It is equipped with an MP3 player/recorder with a USB/SD input, an FM tuner, 4 microphone inputs and 2 line inputs for external audio sources. All inputs have volume, treble and bass controls to set the desired balance and sound quality.
The ZPA-6240TU has a digital message player, which can store up to 6 pre-recorded messages. These can be controlled with an external control connector or by using the dedicated PM-Six paging microphone. There are 2 dedicated paging microphones available: PM-One (D6181) and PM-Six (D6182).
The PM-One is a regular paging microphone to make announcements for all zones, while the PM-Six has can handle announcements and trigger the pre-recorded audio files on the desired zones. The ZPA-
6240TU works on 240V AC. It is also equipped with a 24V DC input, which automatically takes over when main power supply shuts down in an emergency situation.

Connecting Outputs
Speakers are connected by means of terminal connectors. See the examples below.
Low Impedance Outputs
You can use as many speakers as you want as long as the total impedance matches the amplifiers output.
Example 1: Using the 4 Ω output with a 4 Ω speaker.
Example 2: Using the 4 Ω output with two 8 Ω speakers.
Fig. 06
Fig. 07
In a low impedance system, the total speaker load should always match the amplifier’s impedance, in order not to overload the amplifier. The total speaker power should be at least equal to the power of the amplifier, to avoid speaker damage.
High Impedance Outputs
While using either the 70V outputs or the 100V outputs, note that all speakers should be wired in parallel.
The total power of all speakers summed together should never exceed the total power of the amplifier in a 70V or a 100V system!

ZPA-6240TU
Connection Cables
Take care of your cables, always holding them by the connectors and avoiding knots and twists when coiling them: This gives the advantage of increasing their life and reliability. Periodically check your cables. A great number of problems (faulty contacts, ground hum, discharges, etc.) are caused entirely by using unsuitable or faulty cables.
Unbalanced Balanced
For these applications the unit provides 1/4" TRS and XLR connectors to easily interface with most professional audio devices. Follow the configuration examples below for your particular connection.
Maintenance
The DAP Audio ZPA-6240TU requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean.
Disconnect the mains power supply, and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Do not use alcohol or solvents.
Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the audio connections with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying electric power.
