By-passing the signal detector
Depending on its configuration, the LK240 will remain on standby
for 10 or 20 minutes after an input signal has been removed. You
can override this facility by fitting an internal link which forces the
amplifier to remain on as long as the mains power is connected.
Please consult your Linn retailer for further details.
Protection
Like all Linn products, the LK240 is a rugged amplifier, designed
and built to withstand most eventualities. To ensure safe operation,
the LK240 automatically shuts down in conditions of extreme heat
or power overloading.
If the LK240 overheats it will power down and the indicator light on
the front panel will turn red until the temperature has fallen to safe
operating levels, usually after about 30 seconds. The LK240 has
been designed to withstand temperatures of up to 70°C.
If the LK240 continually overheats try increasing the ventilation
around the unit. Refer to the section
Positioning, page 7.
If the LK240 is overloaded it will power down, and the indicator
light on the front panel will flash green and red. Turn the LK240 off
and check the loads you are applying to it.
Consult your Linn retailer if any problems persist.
