3.5 Fuse Indicators
Illustration 3–9 Fuse Indicators
The PA2000 consists of four field-replacable power modules with two amplifiers in
each module. If a module fails, it may be replaced while the unit continues to
operate (at a reduction in output power).
Each of the paralleled amplifiers is protected by a 10 ampere fast-acting fuse.
When a fuse opens, the indicator light next to it comes illuminates and built-in
redundancy allows the unit to continue operation. The fuse can be replaced while
the unit is operating. Fuses 1 and 2 represent amplifiers 1 and 2 on the top left
module. Fuses 3 and 4 represent amplifiers 3 and 4 on the top right module. Fuses
5 and 6 represent amplifiers 5 and 6 on the lower left power module. Fuses 7 and 8
represent amplifiers 7 and 8 on the lower right power module.
