Typical conditions that could cause the protection to be triggered include very high frequency 
or  subsonic  input  signals,  DC  in  the  inputs,  short-circuited  outputs,  or  internal  high 

temperatures. 
 

The  protection  circuit  can  affect  all  channels  or  a  ‘channel  pair’  depending  on  the  type  of 
fault. This is indicated by the combination of A/P LED and OCM LED illuminating. In this way 
it is possible for two channels (a channel pair) to remain functioning even though a fault has 

caused the other channel pair to mute.  A channel pair would be A+B or  C+ D. 
 

Temperature related faults will reset if the unit has cooled sufficiently. 
 

Output short circuits will require manual reset after clearing the fault.  Short circuits on either 
channel of a channel pair will only affect that channel pair. A/P will illuminate together with 
the OCM LED on the shorted channel and the partner channel of the channel pair (so A+B or 
C+D).  
 

 

Operating Your Amplifier:  Notes and Switching On 

 

Read  all  documentation  before  operating  your  equipment  and  retain  all  documentation  for 
future reference. 
 

Do  not  spill  water  or  other  liquids  into  or  on  the  unit  and  do  not  operate  the  unit  while 
standing in liquid. 

 
Do not block fan intake or rear ventilation outlets or operate the unit in an environment that 

could impede the free flow of air around the unit. 
 
If the unit is used in an extremely dusty or smoky environment, it should be cleaned of any 

collected debris at regular intervals. Please also see the notes regarding maintenance on page 
17. 

 
It  is  important  that  the  power  output  of  your  amplifier  is  matched  to  the  power  handling 
capacity of your loudspeaker. If not, damage to the loudspeaker could occur. 

 
Switching On… 

 
At ‘switch-on’ the protection circuit will initially activate whilst the circuits stabilise, indicated 
by the red A/P LED illuminating, in addition to various other LEDs. After a few seconds the 

red  A/P  LED  will  extinguish  indicating  a  satisfactory  working  condition.  
 
Other  LEDs  may  remain  illuminated  depending  upon  rear  panel  switch  settings  and  input 
connections.  If  the  A/P  LED  does  not  extinguish  after  5  seconds  the  unit  may  be  faulty  or 

some external connections may be incorrect or inappropriate. If this occurs you should power 
down the unit and remove all external connections (except for the mains power supply)  and 
repeat the power up sequence. If the problem persists please contact us  – details on page
