▸
At more than 40
o
C (104
o
F) the fan is ON
▸
At 55
o
C (131
o
F) a temperature warning is indicated on the front panel as ‘TEMP WARNING’ and in the
Controller Event Log as ‘Temp warning: DSP area’.
▸
At 70
o
C (158
o
F) the device has exceeded the maximum normal operating temperature. This fault is
indicated on the front panel as ‘OVERTEMP’ and in the Controller Event Log as ‘Temp fault: DSP area’.
The Processor will NOT mute or shut down when the
temperature reaches or exceeds 70
o
C (158
o
F), however,
sustained performance at this temperature cannot be
guaranteed.
3.4 Operating Voltage
The label above the IEC connector indicates the AC mains voltage range for which the device is approved.
LM Series devices utilize a universal power supply, and will operate within the range 70-265V~50-60Hz :
25W. If the plug on the IEC cable provided is not appropriate for your country, a locally-sourced IEC cable
with the appropriate molded plug should be used. A locking IEC cable is not necessary in order to power
the device, although is essential if locking functionality is required. Once a suitable AC power supply is
connected, the device can be turned on using the front panel power button. When the device is turned on,
the power button LED changes from red (Standby) to green (Active).
3.5 Grounding
Analog inputs and outputs feature Iso-Float
™
ground isolation, a technology which combines the benefits of
transformer-coupled isolation with the advantages of clean, direct-coupled inputs and outputs.
The audio converters are galvanically isolated, and not connected to mains ground. High-speed transformers
and opto-isolators create a barrier between the device and the outside electrical environment.
The Iso-Float feature is activated by default, but may
be disabled via the Lake Controller software, or via
the front panel menu.
Use correctly-shielded balanced audio input connections to minimise hum and interference. Please refer to
section 7.1.5 for further information.
NEVER disconnect the earth (ground) pin on the mains cable (AC power cord).
