Amperes Electronics. AX3800 provides a better way of a standby amplifier to overtake a failed duty unit automatically in PA installation. Packed with efficient circuitry with features such as overload protection, interval Pilot Tone generation and data output for remote monitoring, it shall be the right choice for setups with lesser human interaction in ensuring uninterrupted operation of PA system.
Pilot tone shall be sent at intervals to every channel of amplifier inputs. Whenever this is sent, the LED shall lit. 6. FAULT BUZZER Whenever a faulty channel is detected, a buzzer shall be activated and the alarm can be switched off while the red LED shall remain on.

15. CASCADE LINK Two or more of AX3800 can be used when only a standby amplifier is available to serve more than 8 duty units. Use this link in when more then one AX3800 is used in the system. Please refer to the section " Cascading more than one unit ".

NOTE : Input and Output signal from AX3800 shall have unity gain. Therefore a single source shall be limited to max 6 output channels. If a source were to be connected to more than 6 amplifiers, it is recommended that a distribution amplifier is used before connecting it to the AX3800 input port.

Cascading AX3800 When there is only one standby amplifier to serve more than 8 duty units, more than one AX3800 shall be used to serve the purpose. All other settings as shown earlier shall apply FAULT STANDBY CONT. 3A NO...
Although in principle most auto fault changeover works similarly in detecting faulty amplifiers, you may find some difference in how AX3800 operates. AX3800 sends out Pilot Tone of 20 KHz at intervals and shift from channel to channel. This reduces strain at the amplifiers in which continuous loading is avoided. Though some slight delay may occur during the detection period, this shall be beneficial in the long run.

After channel 6, switch on the power amp in sequence from Ch6 to 1 and the results shall be as opposite to the earlier procedures. PAGE 10 AX3800 | AUTO STANDBY AMPLIFIER FAULT CHANGEOVER...
