Amplifier monitor:
The monitor displays the most important amplifier output
parameters and has an in-built impedance monitor.
•
Voltage (RMS)
: RMS voltage, in volts.
•
Current (RMS)
: RMS current, in amperes.
•
Power (RMS):
RMS power, in Watts.
•
Z-Switch
: position of the rear panel impedance selector.
•
Impedance
: value of the impedance at the output, in ohms.
•
Z-monitor
: enables impedance monitoring at the output. If enabled, an error
notification will be sent when the impedance exceeds the set thresholds or a
short-circuit or open-circuit situation occurs. This functionality is also available
via TP-NET, to communicate the status of the amplifier line to third parties (see
chapter
o
Z-min:
lower impedance threshold.
o
Z-max
: upper impedance threshold.
The impedance monitor is an informative tool. The protections against over-
current situations in the amplifier are always enabled (PROTECT),
regardless of
whether the impedance monitor is enabled or not.
An indicator in the
upper right corner of each amplifier shows its output status
:
•
STBY
: output on Standby.
•
0W
: output set to 0 W in Smart VersaPower.
•
EXTM
: output affected by GPI External Mute.
•
NETM:
the output belongs to a network group
that is muted.
•
LOCM
: the output belongs to a local group that is
muted.
•
GENM
: the output belongs to the general volume
group that is muted.
•
MUTE
: the output is muted in the audio matrix.
