Halcro Reliabilty Assurance Service (HRAS)
The Halcro Reliability Assurance Service
(HRAS) is an optional feature that may be
installed on a computer connected to your
home entertainment network. If installed and
running, HRAS monitors the performance of
the system. It can be set up to alert your
dealer, installer, or yourself by E-mail if any
amplification module fails, without disruption to
your listening pleasure. An event log can also
be maintained by HRAS for troubleshooting
purposes.
HRAS is an optional featu e, and the
perfo mance of the mul i-channel power
r
t
amplifier is not compromised if the service
is not installed.
HRAS can dramatically reduce the time taken
to correct faults. The system runs in the
background with no operator actions
required.
