The RPS14  
The slimline RPS14 power supply unit is a high performance, low noise linear power supply producing DC  
voltages by rectifying, smoothing and regulating AC voltages from the secondary windings of a mains transformer.  
Allen & Heath mixing consoles employ a number of DC voltage supply levels in their operation and these are  
provided at the output of the power supply unit. The RPS14 has a built in combiner for connection to a second  
supply for backup. Full protection and thermal sensing fan cooling ensures the power supply unit will operate  
consistently.

Installation  
Free standing  
The RPS14 can be operated as a freestanding unit for shelf or floor operation. Ensure adequate air flow around  
the unit. It must not be covered in any way. Always stand the unit on a firm flat surface well away from any soft  
furnishings or carpet.  
Rack mounting  
The RPS14 is designed as a 19 inch rack mount unit and will occupy 2U (3.5 inches) of rack space. The fast feet  
may need to be removed before rack mounting. Retain feet for future use.  
An important consideration when rack-mounting the unit is the need for natural convection of airflow around the  
unit. Good ventilation below the unit, in the floor or back of the rack, will ensure a continuous path for airflow.  
Rack equipment known to produce a significant amount of heat should not be mounted directly below the power  
supply unit. Equipment which also relies on good airflow within the rack (i.e. most power amplifiers and other  
power supply units) should be given due consideration and some space should be provided between such units  
and between the RPS14 unit. Forced convection, by means of a fan-tray, may be desirable in some situations.  
Location  
As with any power supply unit that contains a mains voltage transformer, it is preferable to provide a degree of  
physical isolation of the unit from other equipment, particularly that which carries low level audio signals, to avoid  
any possible interference pick-up. For this reason power supply units supplied with Allen & Heath ML series  
mixing consoles are provided with a long (2.9m) output cable to enable them to be positioned away from the  
mixing console. Backup power supply units, bought separately, are provided with a shorter (0.75m) output cable  
to combine power supply units. For the same reason, when rack-mounting it is preferable to avoid locating the  
unit next to signal processing equipment.  
Earthing  
Finally, some consideration should be given to the earthing arrangement of the system, at the centre of which is  
the console and the RPS14. The console chassis is earthed to the mains earth via the power supply unit. When  
rack-mounting the RPS14 care should be taken to avoid any possible “ground loops” in the system which may  
introduce audible hum or buzz to otherwise clean audio signals. Ground loops occur where signal processing  
equipment patched to the console, has its signal earth connected to the equipment chassis. A ground loop is  
formed if the chassis of the signal processing equipment and the RPS14 chassis are in electrical contact through  
the fixing rails they share in the rack. The RPS14 has audio 0V and mains earth connected internally.  
Fitting in a rack

Operating the RPS14  
The RPS14 is internally wired to operate from one of the following standard settings: 100V, 120V, 220V, or 240V.  
The unit is shipped pre-wired for the country in which it is to be used.  
Check that the rear panel is marked to indicate the voltage that is correct for your territory. The  
power supply unit is provided with an IEC type mains connector and moulded mains plug. Check that  
this is correct for connection to your wall socket outlet.  
Switch the unit on by setting the front panel POWER ON switch to its ON position. The three front panel voltage  
rail indicators (+/-17V, +12V, +48V) should light. The ‘HI TEMP’ indicator should be off during normal operation.  
It lights to warn when the power supply unit is becoming too hot. Should that be the case, improve the ventilation  
or lower the air temperatures around the unit.  
To avoid audible thumps and bangs through the speakers, always turn the console on before  
switching on the amplifier system, and turn the amplifiers off before switching off the console power  
supply unit.  
Always switch the power supply unit off before connecting or disconnecting the console power cables, removing  
or installing console modules and any servicing work. In the event of an electrical storm, or large mains voltage  
fluctuations, immediately switch off the power supply unit and disconnect from the mains supply.  
Combining Power supply units  
The RPS14 has a built-in combiner allowing direct connection to another  
power supply unit for backup. It can be combined with either another  
RPS14 or the alternative MPS14 power supply unit. Either can be used  
as the main or backup supply.  
To console  
DC cable 002-583  
RPS14 or MPS14  
Connect the two power supply units together using the DC link cable  
provided by plugging into the DC sockets of each unit as shown below.  
Note that the DC link cable can be connected to either of the two DC  
output connectors on both units.  
DC link cable 002-584  
Avoid fully extending the DC cables when plugging in as this  
may stress the cable and connectors resulting in failure.  
BACKUP  
RPS14 or MPS14  
Ensure that walkways, aisles and gangways are not obstructed by cables.  
To ensure correct performance we recommend that you do not extend or  
modify the DC power cable in any way.  
Cleaning the Unit  
The RPS14 does not use any internal filters. Air is drawn through the fan grille on the rear, blown through a  
heatsink tunnel and out through ventilation slots in the front panel. It is not necessary to open the unit for  
cleaning. Simply keep the fan and ventilation slots free of dust and dirt using a vacuum cleaner and dry, lint free  
cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or compressed air to clean the unit.  
Always switch the unit off when inspecting or cleaning it.

Replacing the mains fuse  
The AC mains fuse is located on the rear of the RPS14 unit next to the AC mains connector. In the event of a  
mains surge or under-rated fuse value, the fuse will rupture. Switch off the power supply and remove the mains  
lead plug from the “MAINS INPUT” socket on the rear of the unit. Check the fuse and replace if necessary. In the  
event of repeated failure of the mains fuse, consult your Allen & Heath service agent.  
In the unlikely event of an internal DC rail fuse failure, consult your Allen & Heath service agent or Allen & Heath  
technical support.  
TO AVOID THE RISK OF FIRE REPLACE FUSE WITH THE CORRECT TYPE ONLY, AS INDICATED  
ON THE UNIT.
