1. DESCRIPTION V 80 SE
POWER CONSUMPTION
+
ECOMODE
Power consumption: The power supply is constructed using a high
performance, magnetically shielded transformer employing the lowest
loss material currently available. Internal stabilization is designed for
maximum efficiency with the lowest possible losses. As a result, no-load
power consumption is approximately 180 W.
The stabilization ensures
trouble-free operation of the power supply section between
210 to
250 V (or +/-10% Mains voltage tolerance).
Within this range, the
power amplifier's operating point is stable.
The
Ecomode function
monitors the operational status of the V 80 SE
and automatically powers it down during extended breaks. This reduces
power consumption to less than
30 W compared with 180 W during
normal operation
and improves passive safety. When it detects a
signal, the V 80 SE activates automatically and is ready for use again
within 30 seconds.
