Problem: No Sound; Problem: No Sound Or Sound Is Too Low; Problem: No Channel Separation; Problem: Distorted Sound - Camco VERTOX Series User Manual

6.2 Problem: No Sound

Indication: On LEDs not lit
Clip LEDs not lit
Check AC plug.
Confirm that AC outlet works by plugging in another device.
Indication: On LEDs lit
Signal LED not lit
Make sure the signal source is operating and try another cable.
Check position of Volume Pots.
Indication: On LEDs lit
Signal LEDs responding to signal level
Check the speaker wiring for breaks.
Try another speaker and cable.
Indication: On LED(s) sequence
The amplifier is in protective muting. Refer to On LED flashing sequences table
to find out the cause for the mute.
Overheating will cause protective muting.
Check for proper ventilation. If the fans aren't running the amplifier requires
servicing.

6.3 Problem: No Sound Or Sound Is Too Low

Indication: On LED not or sporadically lit
Signal LED not lit
Clip LED lit
Under Impedance Limiter is active. The load impedance is abnormally low or
shorted.
Unplug each speaker one-by-one. If the On LED indicates normally when
you disconnect a cable, that cable or speaker is shorted.
Take care not to use too many speakers in parallel, which would result in an
impedance that is too low for normal operation!

USER MANUAL
VORTEX 3 QUADRO
Indication: On LED(s) sequence
Please refer to the On LED flashing sequences table to find out which protection
is active. High temperature will cause an attenuation of output level! DC will cause
the amp to mute or shut down.
Switch off the VORTEX and unplug the source from the amp's input to
prevent DC entering the amp via the signal source. Then switch on the
VORTEX. If the On LED shows the same sequence, the amp will need to be
serviced by a qualified technician.
All other On LED sequences that shut down or mute the VORTEX indicate a
serious internal fault. At this point, turn the VORTEX off, remove AC power
and have the amplifier serviced by a qualified technician.

6.4 Problem: No Channel Separation

Check the mode indicators on the front panel and make sure the mode
selector on the rear panel is in the stereo-position.
Make sure other equipment in the signal path such as mixers and preamps
are set for stereo, not mono.

6.5 Problem: Distorted Sound

Indication: On LED lit
Signal LED responding to signal level
Clip LED lit only green
A faulty speaker or a loose connection could cause this. Try another speaker
and check the wiring.
The signal source might be clipping. Keep the VORTEX volume pots at
least halfway up so that the source does not have to be overdriven.
Keep the VORTEX volume pots at least halfway up and try changing input
sensitivity from ,4 V to 32 dB or 26 dB with the gain selector on the rear.
