Failed AC power fuse in rear of unit

Unplug the loop and AC power supply from amplifier, and replace the failed fuse with the spare fuse 

in AC power input fuse tray . 
Reconnect the AC power supply and switch on . If the fuse fails again, return the unit to Ampetronic 

for evaluation - it may well be covered under warranty, which will be invalidated by removing the 

cover . If the fuse does not fail a 'loop error' may be indicated, but shows that the unit is working 

correctly . Re-connect the loop and switch the power off then on again to reset loop error .
If the fuse fails when the loop is re-connected to the unit, then the loop could be shorted to 

electrical mains (and building) earth. This can happen even if no audio signal is present, as the 

short to earth is likely to cause an instability / oscillation / feedback condition to develop . A loop 

cable short to earth most commonly occurs where flat copper tape is installed on a metal-clad 

raised access flooring system. If the insulation on the flat copper tape is abraded (for example by a 

piece of metal swarf trapped below the copper tape), the conductor could short to the earthed tiles.
When installing on raised access floors, it is advisable to insulate beneath the flat copper tape 

installation using Ampetronic PWT or similar tape .
The loop short to earth may only be completed when a person steps on the tape in the affected 

location, which can create significant difficulties when diagnosing the cause of fuse failure. Contact 

Ampetronic for further advice if a unit is suffering recurring but untraceable failure of the rear panel 

fuse .

14. UPDATING FIRMWARE & WEB INTERFACE

N.B. Driver firmware and Web Interface software must be updated at the same time as the 

version must match .

Updating Firmware

a) Contact Ampetronic for the appropriate version to copy to a USB Stick. 
b) Insert USB Stick into rear of unit and power up,
c) Wait for the display to show ‘PLS REMOVE STICK AND CYCLE POWER’

Updating Web Interface

a) Contact Ampetronic for the latest .bin file
b) Browse to the IP Address of the Web Interface and enter the URL extension /mpfsupload
c) Choose file and upload
d) Wait for the message ‘MPFS Update Successful’ to be displayed and follow the ‘Site main page’
