4.2a Power Switch Disable
When the power switch is turned off the amplifier is completely off, UNLESS the power switch has been disabled from
within Protea
ne
software (Control Surface Tab), in which case the power switch on the amplifier has no effect at all. If the power
switch has been disabled from software, the Pema amplifier front panel DISABLE LED will be lit. Even if the AC power is
removed, the amplifier’s internal memory will maintain the <power switch disabled> status until changed again from Protea
ne
software. Performing a factory reset will clear and restore all internal amplifier memory to factory settings.
4.2b On/Off/Remote Standby
Pema amplifiers have three possible power states, OFF, ON, and STANDBY, each with a status LED on the front panel.
Control for these states is managed by the following:
1)
Remote Standby Contact Closure
- When the two Euroblock pins labeled "Remote Standby"on the back of the am-
plifier are wired to a switch and connected, the amplifier goes into Standby mode, whereby the amplifier is active but not fully
powered up. For remote standby to work, the power switch must be turned on OR be disabled through Protea
ne
software. Open
the switch to remove the amp from remote standby mode.
