8.  MASTER CIRCUIT - BREAKER

The SST

2

 amplifier uses a magnetic-trip circuit breaker to protect the amplifier. This switch should be 

OFF

 during 

installation. When switched 

OFF

 all A/C power is removed from the amplifier, including standby power. The circuit 

breaker is not the power switch and should be switched and left 

ON

 after the installation is complete.  Use the front 

panel push-button power switch or an external control voltage to power-up or power-down the amplifier.  Should the 

breaker trip, lower or remove the amplifier input signals. Switch the breaker to the ‘ON’ position. Then power the unit 

up normally.

 N.B.

  The circuit breaker must be ‘ON’ at all times for the SST

2

 amplifier to operate.

9.  A/C POWER INPUT

An IEC-320 C14 power inlet provides for connection of an IEC-320 C13 equipped power cord.  Before connecting the 

power cord to the amplifier check that the voltage rating on the data plate or ratings label conforms with your locality. 

With the circuit breaker ‘OFF’ insert the power cord into the SST

2

 amplifier, then plug the other end to an appropriate 

A/C power outlet. 

10. EXTERNAL CONTROL VOLTAGE POWER UP  ( Local / External switch)

 

A)   To power-up the SST

2

 amplifier using an external control 

voltage and supply a 4v to 12v   (AC or DC)  control volt-

age to the ‘IN’ terminals of connector ( 5 ). Use paired 

wire of 22 to 18 gage between the source device and 

the SST

2

 amplifier.  The appropriate mating connector 

(Bryston part number: 110A-11104 ) is supplied with each 

amplifier.  

Set the 

External Turn-On

 switch to “

External

”. The ampli-

fier will now power-up only when the control voltage is 

present (on).  Immediately following power-up, the con-

trol voltage will appear at the ’OUT’ terminals of connec-

tor for the control of other equipment. The removal of the 

control voltage (0v) causes the amplifier to turn ‘off’ and 

the control voltage at the ‘OUT’ terminals is interrupted.

 B)

   In the “

Local

” setting of the 

External Turn-On

 switch 

(#10) the SST

2

 amplifier will ignore the control voltage 

and power up only by using the front panel push-button power switch. If a control voltage is present at the ‘IN’ 

terminals it will still be available at the ‘OUT’ terminals after the power-up sequence.

Note:

The ‘OUT’ terminals are connected to the ‘IN’ terminals once the SST

2

 amplifier has powered-up. 

The control current is determined by the 

source 

equipment. The carrying current of the ‘OUT’ relay is 2 amps. 

The SST

control circuitry itself draws less than 2 mA from the control current when operating.
