DriveCore Install Network Series Power Amplifiers
Front Panel Features
Indicators:
Fault Indicator (red): Flashes when the amplifier output channel has stopped operating.
(See Page 41 Troubleshooting.)
Thermal Indicator (red): Illuminates when the channel reaches 80 degrees Celsius, indicating the onset of protection
compression. If the temprature continues to rise, the amplifier output will shut off at 98 degrees Celsius and remain off until
a safe operating temperature is present.
Clip Indicator (red): Illuminates when any of the following conditions are present: Onset of audible clipping, clipped signal
detected at input, clipped signal detected at output, engagement of protection circuits.
Level and Signal Indicators (green): Three LEDs indicate signal presence and level as follows: -10 = 10 dB below rated
output -20 = 20 dB below rated output Signal = -40dBU input level
Ready Indicator (green): When this indicator is activated, the amplifier is ready to pass audio.
