Indicates that the amplifier is turned on.
Blue LED steady on:
Blinking yellow LED according to music: Indicates that the amplifier is operating at the
threshold of distortion. If the red LED also blinks, it indicates excessive distortion.
Red LED steady on:
Short-circuit or impedance lower than that supported at output.
Flashing yellow LED: Excessive temperature (May be caused by obstruction of the internal cooler,
improper installation or poorly ventilated location).
RED LED flashes 2x:
RED LED flashes 3x:
Power supply voltage greater than 16V.
The MD 1200.1 has a thermal protection system controlled by micro-controller
(TEMPERATURE
MONITOR).
When the amplifier reaches the temperature of approximately 85°C (185°F), the thermal
protection starts working, the audio is interrupted and the yellow LED will start flashing. The fan
will be functioning, in order to cool down the components quickly. Only when the amplifier
reaches a safe temperature level, the audio is released and the amplifier gets back to its normal
functioning.
We recommend don’t turn off the amplifier, so that the cooling time will be shorter, through
the ventilation of fan.
LEDS indicators and protection systems
1 - INPUT (R and L): Inputs of signals to be amplified. Connect these signals to RCA outputs of Head Unit ,
using good quality shielded cables to avoid noise influence.
4 - BASS BOOST: Boost for bass levels in 50Hz, with variable gain up to 10.5 dB.
LOW PASS: Variable adjustment from 80Hz to Full, which determines the end of the amplifier
operating frequency.
3 - CROSSOVER
2 - LEVEL: It sets the amplifier input sensitivity, which allows an optimal adjustment to the output signals
levels of nearly all models of Head Unit found in the market.
HIGH PASS: Variable adjustment from 10Hz to 80Hz, which determines the beginning of the amplifier
operating frequency.
5 - MONITOR: Connection to an accessory, which function is to monitor the amplifier and it is where
all information from the indicator LEDs, such as distortion (CLIP/TEMP) and protection actuation
(PROT), will be displayed simultaneously.
(Sold separately).
