General information
Automatic power-down
(Energy saver)
Notes on Energy Saving
The PA 3100 HV satisfies the requirements of the latest directives concerning
energy-saving measures (EuP directive). The modern design of the mains
power supply makes an important contribution to this.
The internal micro-processor constantly ensures that sub-assemblies which are
not currently required are automatically switched off. The micro-processor itself
operates in stand-by mode at a relatively low clock speed, and only responds to
the remote control receiver.
In stand-by mode the current drain of the PA 3100 HV is less than 0.5 Watt.
If you intend not to use the amplifier for a long period, it should be discon-
nected from the mains socket, i.e. the mains plug should be withdrawn from the
wall socket.
The amplifier features an automatic power-down function. If the PA 3100 HV
detects no operation or no or a low music signal for a period longer than ninety
minutes, it automatically switches to stand-by mode. Two minutes before the
device enters the standby mode, a pop-up window appears on the screen. If the
device should stay in operation please press the button while this
message is displayed.
In countries outside the EU, in which the EuP directive has no validity, the
automatic power-down feature can be disabled if necessary (see chapter
entitled "Basic settings of the PA 3100 HV").
