10.1 On/Standby

nX amplifiers have four possible power states; OFF, ON, STANDBY, and SLEEP.
1) Remote Control Standby - Using contact closure
tor pins labeled "STBY" and "G" can be wired to a switch and cause the amplifier to go into standby mode when closed. For remote
standby to work, the power switch must be turned on, or turned on but disabled through Protea
standby mode, open the STBY switch. Remote standby is unavailable on nX models.
2) Remote Control Standby - Using software control surface
mode from software, functioning the same as the contact closure standby circuit on the back panel. Clicking on standby in the
software control surface places the unit into standby mode until further action is taken to bring the amp out of standby. The
software standby control does not override the remote standby contact closure control, they both remain active at all times. See
control surface functions described in
4) Remote Control Standby - Using event scheduler
including switching the amplifier into standby mode. With the event scheduler, the installer can assign one or more times of day or
days of the week for the amplifier to automatically go into and come out of standby mode, disabling overall function and conserving
power during those times when the amplifier is not being used. See the event scheduler description in

10.2 Front/Rear Panel Controls Disable

The power switch and rear panel attenuators on nXe and nXp amplifiers can be disabled together from software. If the power
switch has been disabled while the amplifier is on, the power switch LED remains lit and the front panel disable LED is also lit,
indicating that the power switch is inactive. If the AC mains power is removed while the power switch is disabled, the ampli-
fier remembers its disabled status and will turn back on in the same state when AC power is restored. When the attenuators are
disabled, they revert to their full CW value.
*Note: Quickly pressing and releasing the recessed front panel factory reset switch when the amp is on will toggle the amplifier
through the four possible sleep and front-panel-control-disable modes, as shown in
