Current
Protection
The R200i features an electronic over current protection function. In the
event that demand exceeds the amplifier’s full rated continuous output
current, the unit will protect itself and the connected speaker load from
possible damage.
Over current protection will operate under the following conditions:
à
Accidental shorting of the speaker output terminals
à
Speaker driver/crossover faults
à
Excessive current demand exceeding the R200i continuous output
rating
In the event of an over current fault, the words “OVER CURRENT” will
be displayed on the amplifier’s front panel. The amplifier will shut down.
An over-current fault is user resetable by depressing the “MENU/ENTR”
button on the display.
For more information, please refer to Chapter 15 ”Faultfinding Your
R200i” and consult the “Description of Amplifier Faults” section.
Over
Temperature
Protection
A comprehensive thermal management system is employed. The surface
temperature of each heat sink is continually being monitored and
contrasted against predetermined values. Under high load demands, the
external heat sink temperature may rise above a predetermined trigger
point. In the event of an over temperature fault occurring, the system has
been designed to protect itself by disconnecting the over heated channel.
In this manner, the channel can be allowed to cool down rapidly.
Individual heat sink temperatures can be read out in
°
C in real time on the
amplifier’s display.
