SECTION THREE : OPERATION 

 
Once  installed  and  set  up  as  described  in  Section  Two,  no  manual  operation  is  provided  apart  from 
selecting  the  required  meter  display.  If  the  SYS  NORMAL  LED  shows  red,  step  through  the  various 
displays,  using  the  push  button,  to  determine  which  do  not  show  ‘Normal’. 

Note,  that  for  output 

power  to  be  generated,  the  Amplifier’s  rear  panel  Interlock  input,  SK02,  pins  20-21,  must  be 
short circuited, either directly, or by the closing of all connected interlock circuits (see section 
2.2.2). 

The SYS NORMAL and MUTE LEDs will show red and it will be so indicated, on the Fwd and 

Rev Power screens, if the Interlock is open and the Amplifier thus muted.
