Operating instructions

Baldwin Boxall BEL2 is a loudspeaker line protection unit designed to be used with the IMP18 and BEL1 on 100V loudspeaker line systems. It monitors the connection to the transformer primary for open and short circuits and has an LED indicator to show faults. If a short circuit condition develops, it will isolate the affected speaker from the main speaker line, preventing total loss from other speakers on the line. The BEL2 can be used with loudspeaker loads between 7.5W and 15W.

BEL2 Loudspeaker Line Protection Unit
When using the BEL2 set to 7.5W the amplifier must be at least 60W and 150W when set to 15W in
order to operate the short circuit isolator facility. The BEL2 will only operate on the 100V
loudspeaker line system in conjunction with the IMP18 and BEL1. Using a 4 core cable to the
loudspeaker the BEL2 monitors the connection to the transformer primary for open and short circuits.
An LED mounted on the lid indicates a fault when illuminated.
In addition if this speaker feed should develop short circuit condition, it will isolate it from the main
speaker line preventing total loss from other speakers on the line.
Max insertion loss: 7.5W load - 0.8dB 15W load - 0.8dB
The BEL2 requires loudspeakers to be cabled in a four core cable - 2 cores for 100V line wiring in and
two cores for 100V line wiring out as per the drawing above. Please note J3 is removed for
loudspeakers tapped at 15W and 7.5W as the input voltage exceeds 100V and handling is dangerous -
Please be careful!
