Fault conditions 

If a fault condition appears during the operation of the amplifier, the safety circuits of  will react, the 

FAULT LED

 lights. There are several fault or warning messages possible to appear on the display (under the fault 

LED) in 

abbreviated

 form, when some of

 

the protection will be activated. To view fault history with full text of 

the faults, touch 

FAULT

 from Setup Menu. The  power amplifier will respond to these conditions:
