Stand-By Indicator; Protection Indicator - Inter-m S3000 Operating Manual

6. CLIP-LIMITER INDICATORS
The clip-limiter indicators turn on when a distortion level above 1% THD is present in the output.
7. CLIP-LIMITER SWITCHES
Use this to prevent the amplifier from continuous clipping in each channel output.

8. STAND-BY INDICATOR

The stand-by indicator turns on when the stand-by switch (2p screw terminal) on rear panel turned on.

9 PROTECTION INDICATOR

The protection indicator turns on when a protection circuit in the amplifier is operating by an abnormal
condition as follows.
* Thermal protection ....................When the heatsink and main switching power transformer
* Full short protection ........................The output circuit protects the output devices from short circuits and
* DC fault protection ..........................The outputs will mute if DC or excessive subsonic energy appears at
* RF protection ...............................The input circuits are isolated by 10KΩ resistors. An supersonic
* Turn on/off muting ...........................Turn on/off muting blocks transients from the amplifier or preceding
* Clip limiting ...................................During normal operation, the clip limiter does not affect the audio
* Inrush current protection .................ln rush current is limited by an NTC resistor (Negative Temperature

signal and is, in fact, inaudible. It will allow brief clipping of peaks,

will then gradually reduce the audio signal (up to 10dB) to minimize
clipping. When clipping ends, the clip limiter will deactivate and cease
its gain reduction.
