Amperes AC3601 Quick Start Manual

the emerging preference
monitoring and changeover
Standby amplifier is normally required for a continuous and uninterrupted operation of a PA system in the event that
any of the duty pack fails. A panel is required for the standby unit to take over a duty amp without having to change
the input connection or redo the cabling works.
Amperes AC3601 is a changeover panel for 6 duty with 1 standby amplifier but is expandable for a single standby
unit to cater for more than 6 duty packs.
Protection circuitry is embedded that only allowed a failed duty amplifier to be taken over by standby unit to prevent
overloading. Priority features shall ensure higher numbered failed unit has preference for changeover.
