Amplifier fault
The AMP OUTPUT LEDs work in pairs (1
and 2, 3 and 4) and indicate the operating
status of the four amplifier output channels.
When an amplifier fault occurs, the amplifier
mutes its outputs and indicates an error.
After a short period of time the amplifier will
try to operate again. If the fault condition
persists, the amplifier will attempt to restart
six times, after which it will remain muted.
Amplifier faults are typically caused by a
shorted loudspeaker line, an overdriven
amplifier, or a saturated output transformer.
• To check for a shorted loudspeaker line,
remove the loudspeaker connection from the
amplifier channel. If this resolves the prob-
lem, locate and correct the shorted loud-
speaker line.
• To make sure that you are not overdriving
the FreeSpace
®
4400 output, change to a
different source. If the problem no longer
exists, use the FreeSpace 4400 Installer™
software to reduce the input level of the
original source that was overdriving the
output.
• To make sure an output transformer is not
being saturated, check to see if the correct
loudspeaker EQ setting is selected.
If none of these actions solve the problem,
read the instructions in the following flow
chart or check the error log using the
FreeSpace 4400 Installer software.
Check for
• Shorted wiring
• Overdriven amplifier
(reduce output gain)
• Transformer saturation
• Entry in FreeSpace

• Check the number of loudspeak-
ers connected to the FreeSpace
4400 system. Verify that the total
sum of loudspeaker taps con-
nected to the FreeSpace 4400
system does not exceed 400W.
• Verify that there are no shorts on
the loudspeaker output lines.

• Switch POWER to OFF.
• Disconnect the load and switch
