Table 11.3: ISVPL–to–output examples
11.3.2. Current Peak Limiter (CPL)
The output Current Peak Limiter (CPL) ensures that the power output section will not be damaged by forcing it to
deliver current levels at the outputs that exceed the maximum current ratings of the output transistors. The CPL
keeps the output transistors within their Safe Operating Area (SOA). The CPL is non–adjustable.
This condition indicates an attempt to draw excessive current at the output. The output is attenuated until the
output current falls below the maximum current rating. Limiting is performed by the ISVPL limiter in conjunction
with the selected ISVPL profile.
CPL activity is shown by amber or red indication on Amp LED of the affected output channel and a corresponding
text description in Lake Controller and CAFÉ software programs. Refer to Section 14.1 for more information on
warnings and faults.
NOTE: If excessive current is indicated, check the output cables and examine the loudspeaker. If
impedance appears normal, you may rectify the condition by altering the ISVPL settings or lowering
input levels. CPL indication can be triggered by excessively low load impedance, possibly the result of
too many loudspeaker cabinets connected in parallel.
11.3.3. Power Average Limiter (PAL)
The Power Average Limiter Active warning (PAL Active) will be displayed when the power supply is operating at the
maximum average input power allowed for the PSU design. When this warning is displayed, gain limiting is being
applied to the signal by a lowering of the ISVPL threshold.
