Advanced Application - Fault Reporting

If you wish to have an amplifier channel report a fault to a control system or back up amplifier, set it to Master. The Fault Flag is 

held high (+5 volts) during normal operation and goes low (passive pull down) when a fault occurs. For information about Fault Flag 

operation (applications and reported faults) see the Manual, page 3.

Remote Level Control inputs are provided for each channel. The Rane VR 2 or any 10k to 100 kΩ potentiometer may be con-

nected to these inputs.
