Instructions for ADA Power Amplifiers
Introduction
The PAC module (Programmable Amplifier Control-
ler) is used in several ADA multi-channel power am-
plifiers including the PTM-1645, PTM-1260, PTM-
6150, PTM-8100 and PTM-8150. All models incor-
porate a micro-controller for turn on power inrush con-
trol and smart zone trigger control. Triggers are acti-
vated by voltage input or by RS-232 data control.
Low Voltage Trigger Control
You may use the triggers normally on a preamp-zone
to amp-zone basis or you may custom assign several
amplifier zone(s) to any preamplifier trigger. This
allows you to use multiple amplifier channel pairs on
any single audio zone. While you still need to split
line-level audio from the preamp output to the mul-
tiple channel inputs on the power amplifier, you no
longer need to to customize the 9-pin ribbon cable
(12VDC zone trigger cable).
Quick Turn Feature
The PAC amplifiers feature a Quick Turn On option
whereby the amplifier can remain powered and
charged even when the last zone turns off. This makes
PAC amplifiers ideal for paging. You can also turn
this feature off so that the amplifier fully powers off.
Diagram shows PAC Amps controlled by low voltage triggers.

Amplifier Programming - Setup
There are two ways to setup a PAC amplifier, using
ADA’s PC PAC Program or Hyperterminal. The PC
program is easier to work with but the self-generated
Hyperterminal screens from the PAC amplifier pro-
vide the same features. You can download the ADA
PAC PC Program from the ADA web site in the Dealer
Only area (user name = dealer, password = 1867).
Entering Setup
1. Plug data cable into the amplifier’s RS-232
“IN” mini-jack. For setup, connect only one ampli-
fier at a time - no loop throughs. Plug the 9 Pin Male
D connector into your PC’s serial port.
2. Start the ADA PAC program or hyperterminal.
For hyperterminal, set the properties of the serial port
to 8N1, flow control none, at a 19,200 baud.
3. On the back of the amplifier, hold the Setup
button for more than 5 seconds and release. The LED
will blink when the button is released indicating setup
mode and the PC’s screen will update. Setup will
time out after 60 seconds of inactivity. Alternatively,
pressing the Setup button once or turning the main
Power switch off and on will escape the setup mode.
The PC program will maintain connection to the PAC
module regardless of how long you are connected.
Hyperterminal will time out more frequently.

Using the ADA PC PAC Program
Under Configuration, select the COM port connected to
the power amplifier and make certain that the amplifier’s
program LED is blinking.
View Commands - View Feedback
If you want to either view commands or feedback, select
these check boxes.
Retrieve ALL Button
The Retrieve All button updates the program with the
amplifier’s current settings including zone triggers, ad-
dress, and quick turn-on state. All default amplifier ad-
dresses are address 1 and all quick turn on states are Off.
All Set, All Clear Buttons, & Default Buttons
Turns all triggers on to all zones or clears all triggers from
all zones. The default button sets output 1 to trigger 1,
output 2 to trigger 2....etc. Note that by clicking these
buttons you are not immediately affecting a change on
the power amplifier. In order for any changes to take
affect, you also need to press the “Send All & wait for
update” button.
Trigger/Output Grid Check Boxes
Here you can assign amplifier “outputs” to preamplifier
zone “triggers” by clicking on the check boxes. This per-
mits you to customize the triggers to suit your installa-
tion.
Address Selection
Address selection is only used if you are controlling the
amplifiers via RS-232 and then, only if you are daisy-
chaining more than one amplifier on a control system’s
RS-232 port.
Quick Turn On
All PAC amplifiers can be set to quick turn ON, ideal
when using the amplifier for paging. When quick turn
on is set to ON, then the amplifier will remain powered
even after the last zone turns off. When quick turn on is
set to OFF, the amplifier powers down with the last zone.
Default Trigger Setting - Quick Turn On is OFF

button. This loads these settings into the PAC power
amplifier. To verify, press All Clear button and then the
Retrieve All button. The setup you sent should be re-
called.
File Save As and File Open
You can also save your trigger/amplifier settings for fu-
ture use through these options. To save a setting, press
the File Save As. To open a previously saved setting,
press File Open. Remember, once you open a saved set-
ting, you will need to Send All to program it into the PAC
amplifier.
Using Hyperterminal
If you don’t have the ADA PAC PC program, you can opt
to use hyperterminal to setup the PAC amplifier.
Keyboard Entries - Any letters used must be uppercase
only.
Press <ENTER> at any time to update screen.
Pressing <ENTER> in the middle of an incomplete string
will update screen with no changes.
D <ENTER> sets all triggers to default 1 to 1 settings,
screen will update.
Q <ENTER> toggles the Quick Turn On mode and the
PC’s screen will update. In Quick Turn On mode, the
amplifier’s power supply is always on so the turn on re-
sponse time will be immediate. This is useful for paging
applications or where an instant response is required.
When Quick Turn On mode is off, the amplifier’s power
supply is in standby when any zone is not active. The
first time the amp is activated, there will be a delay for
the current inrush limiter before audio can be heard. The
inrush limiter also operates the first time the amp mains
are powered when Quick Turn On mode is on.
A1 <ENTER> sets amplifier address to 1 and the PC’s
screen will update. Addresses allowed are 1 through 9
(A# <ENTER>).

A NOTE ABOUT LOW VOLTAGE TRIGGERS
Low voltage triggers and data control triggers will
operate as they have been setup. Low voltage trig-
gers can be used along with data control. Low volt-
age triggers will override data control.
A NOTE ABOUT DATA FEEDBACK
When in default mode, triggers and zones work one
for one. If you configure a single trigger to activate
multiple zones, the data feedback indicates which
zones are on, NOT which triggers are on.
Data Commands - All 8 amplifier outputs per ad-
dress are loaded in one string. This is even true for
six zone (12 channels), four zone (8 Channels) or three
zone (6 Channels) power amplifiers.
