Fault Shutdowns 

 
On the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) the following messages may appear: 

 
 

 
If you see this message, the system will: 

- 

shut amp down for 1 minute  

- 

automatically turn amp on after 1 minute and check again for overdriven amplifier 

- 

come back to the same power level that it was set 

 
 
 
 
 

 

If you see this message, the system will: 

- 

shut amp down for 5 minutes 

- 

automatically turn amp on after 5 minutes and check again for high VSWR 

- 

come back to the same power level that it was set
