Vigil 3 Amplifier Installation Manual issue 1

The Amplifier Module Mains Input is presented on a standard IEC 
connection and the 24V DC input (battery connection) is 
presented on a two 2-way plug/cage clamp termination.

In addition there is a single RJ45 AUX Output for connection to 
the BVMBC battery charger module.

The power output stage of the amplifier is protected against 
overload conditions (i.e. short circuits or abnormal loads). 
Should an amplifier be subjected to an abnormal load the input to 
the relevant power amplifier is attenuated to a safe level. The 
amplifier output voltages are also sensed and should they exceed 
100V the relevant input signal will be attenuated ensuring safe 
operation without creating unnecessary distortion. 

Over temperature protection is provided using sensors attached 
to the module heat sink. Should the temperature exceed 70C an 
Over Temperature fault is indicated and if it exceeds 75C the 
input signal to the relevant amplifier will be attenuated to a safe 
level. 

If the system is under surveillance it will cause the surveillance 
detector to indicate a fault condition due to the gain reduction.

Each amplifier block has status LED’s on the front panel consisting 
of an OK/FAULT LED and a 10%/100% LED. 

The OK/FAULT LED indicates the following;

• Steady Green - OK

• Flashing Green - PSU Fault, no 24V or mains present

• Yellow - Overload or Over Temperature Fault

The 10%/100% LED indicates the following;

• Off - No signal output

• Green - 10V signal output

• Yellow - 100V signal output
