7 SAFETY FEATURES (Ctd.)
OVERHEATING PROTECTION
If for any reason (malfunction, too high level, too low load impedance) the temperature of
the amplifier could reach a dangerous level, the TELOS 500 could be damaged.
To avoid this type of damage, if the temperature rises too high, a protection circuit switches
the amplifier OFF automatically. A red front panel light indicates that the amplifier has been
turned OFF by the protection circuit.
If this happens, let the amplifier cool for some time. We strongly recommend investigating
the cause of the temperature gain before operating the amplifier again.
PROTECTION AGAINST SHORT-CIRCUITS
If one output is short-circuited by accident and the current becomes too high, the TELOS
protection circuit may be activated.
In such a case the Overload red led on front panel will turn on.
First carefully check why the overload occurred and remove the cause.
Then switch the power ON if the short-circuit has been detected and removed.
To avoid Overload occurring, always switch OFF the amplifier before trying any
manipulation of the speaker cables.
There is no risk to leave the speaker terminals unconnected when the amplifier is ON.
