Auto Standby Amplifier Fault Changeover instruction manual Thank you for choosing another quality product from Amperes Electronics. Though it is rather simple in the installation works, a brief read through the manual is recommended and we are confident that you are getting a product of excellence.
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. REAR VIEW AUDIO SIGNAL INPUTS / OUTPUTS AX3700 FAULT CHANNEL 5 CHANNEL 4 CHANNEL 3...

LINK position. NOTE : Input and Output signal from AX3700 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 AX3700 input port.

SELECTOR SELECTOR When connecting output of amplifiers to the AX3700, polarity must be observed. Each output of the amplifier must be connected to the unit. A disconnected amplifier channel shall be regarded as a faulty channel and a changeover shall take place.

Although in principle most auto fault changeover works similarly in detecting faulty amplifiers, you may find some difference in how AX3700 operates. AX3700 sends out Pilot Tone of 20 KHz at intervals and shift from channel to channel. This reduces strain at the amplifiers where continuous loading is avoided. Though some slight delay may occur during the detection period, this shall be beneficial in the long run.

Repeat the above steps with Ch4 switched off while the previous ones still at OFF position. You shall observe the same pattern at the indicators in sequence. After channel 6, switch on the power amp in sequence from Ch6 to 1 and the observations shall be as opposite to the earlier procedures. AMPERES AX3700 PAGE 10...
