Planned for use in multiple amplifier

configurations - paralleled and run

ning Controlled Current Mode

Currently not used.

OverLoad Out Overload output

(amplifier output is

clipping).

–24V

When amp is normal, this pin is

pulled to –24V through a 47.5K-ohm

resistor; when amp is in Overload

state, this pin is grounded. Do not

exceed 6 milliamps.

Remote Signal of Overload Condition:

LED, when lit,

signals Overload condition. Use a 6mA series resistor

of 4.7K-ohm for LED or OPTO, tie to –24V source (PIN

13).

OverVoltage

Out

Overvoltage output

(High AC line volt

age).

–24V

When amp is normal, this pin is

pulled to –24V through a 47.5K-ohm

resistor; when amp is in Overvoltage

state, this pin is grounded. Do not

exceed 6 milliamps.

Remote Signal of Overvoltage Condition:

LED, when

lit, signals Overvoltage condition. Use a 6mA series re

sistor of 4.7K-ohm for LED or OPTO, tie to –24V source

(PIN 13).

Reset

–15V

Tie to PIN 13 (–24V dc) and create a

–15V dc source; <2mA required for

reset. Connect the –15V dc source

to PIN 25 (Reset) through a 1K

buffer resistor to reset.

Reset from Standby:

Use a dry contact switch and volt-

age regulator to return amp to Ready/Run condition after

Over-temperature or Overload conditions. Assert –15V

for at least 100 ms to clear error condition.

Gray shaded areas indicate pin not used / feature not implemented.

Blue shaded areas indicate used only in multi-amplifier systems.
