  • Page 27: Using The Push Here Diagnostic Feature

    Using the Push Here Diagnostic Feature The ASP-MG2240 features a patent pending amplifier self-diagnostic system. The PHD (Push Here Diagnostic) is simple to use and is very effective in running a system diagnostic test to ensure the amplifier has the proper load applied. Many amplifiers fail because an incorrect load is applied to the amplifier, especially when using the amplifier in a 70.7V distributed audio loudspeaker system.
  • Page 28 Running a Self-Diagnostic Test Using the PHD Feature 1. Install the ASP-MG2240 masking amplifier, connect the input signals. Turn all levels to minimum. 2. Install the loudspeaker system per the design, double-checking loudspeaker tap settings as they are installed. The total power for all the loudspeakers should NOT exceed the maximum power rating of the amplifier installed.
  • Page 29: How To Troubleshoot Your Loudspeaker System If The Phd Led Is Illuminating

    ASP-MG2240 Owner’s Manual Sound Masking Controller / Amplifier How To Troubleshoot Your Loudspeaker System If The Limit LED Is Illuminating The PHD LED should never be constantly illuminated or damage may occur to the amplifier or sound system. If the PHD LED comes on steadily during use or during the PHD test there are a few common fault conditions to check if using a 70.7V distributed audio system.
  • Page 30 ASP-MG2240 Owner’s Manual Sound Masking Controller / Amplifier B. Check each loudspeaker to be sure the load tap is set to the correct power setting. The total power tap selected of all the loudspeakers combined should not exceed the amplifier’s maximum power rating or a fault will occur.
