EATURES AND BENEFITS
DC Offset Protection
This circuit protects the output of the amplifier against DC voltage. If for some
reason DC voltage is detected at the output stage, the amplifier will shut down
protecting the speakers from direct current.
Short Circuit Protection
The circuit protects the amplifier from damage due to a short found in the speakers
or wiring. If one of the speakers or its wiring comes in contact with ground, the
amplifier will shut down. To resume normal operation, correct the problem and
turn the head unit off, then back on. The amplifier will reset and play again.
Thermal Protection
To protect the amplifier circuitry against damage caused by prolonged exposure to
high temperatures, a thermal protection circuit is activated if the amplifier reaches
excessively high operating temperature. Once the thermal circuit is activated, the
amplifier will shut down to cool off. The amplifier will automatically turn back on
once it cools down to a safe operating temperature.
Power Indicator
The diagnostic L.E.D. Illuminates green when the amplifier is on and receiving
power.
Tri Mode Capable (CSA50.2)
If so desired, the amplifier may be run in stereo and mono at the same time. For
example, this feature would allow you to run a pair of mid and tweeters in stereo
and a sub-woofer mono (See Page 12).
Built-in Crossover
The “CS”amplifiers include a built-in high and low pass crossovers. The crossover
features a fixed frequency @ 200 Hz for precise high or low pass filtering. **Except
CSA150.1 & CSA300.1 which has a variable 40 ~ 120Hz crossover.
