ET120 & ET60 Installation & Maintenance Manual 

 
 

Indications and Controls 

Indicators 

Limit 

The AFILS amplifier is receiving a signal at a level where the limiter is starting 
to operate, this LED should blink on loud peaks in the audio, if it is lit 
continuously the audio input is too loud and may be distorting the input stage. 

Power 

 Indicates healthy AC mains available. 

Loop 

 A four LED bar graph showing the peak output current from the amplifier it is 
permissible for the top red LED to light on peaks (when the limit LED lights) 
but this should not be on permanently, as this may lead to the unit switching 
off due to thermal protection, and the audio distorting 

Level Controls 

Mic 
 

 

Sets the Level of the Microphone inputs. 

Line 
 

 

Sets the level of the Line inputs. 

  

Metal loss correction to restore the high frequencies in areas containing large 
quantities of metal 

Drive  

Sets the output current from the loop amplifier. 

 

Important Safety Information 

This Equipment must only be installed and maintained by suitably skilled and competent person.
