7. Operation
Once all connections have been made and configuration
options selected, PowerZone™ Connect amplifiers
are ready for use. If an input signal above -60dB is
present on any input, the front panel Input and Standby
indicators will illuminate green to indicate normal
amplifier operation. Audio will be heard from any
connected speakers.
Note: PowerZone™ Connect amplifiers will by default not wake
from Standby Mode unless an input signal is present, a network 'ON'
command is received, or an external standby switch (or 12V trigger)
is operated. Standby behaviour can be configured via the Power
Management menu of the PowerZone™ Control Web App Settings
Tab.
Amplifier outputs will mute if no input signal is present for 5
minutes, and the amplifier will switch automatically to Standby
Mode if no signal is present on any input for more than 15
minutes. Alternative standby and mute delay times can selected
via the Settings Tab. Amplifier cooling fan speed is temperature
controlled. The fan will switch off when the amplifier enters
standby mode.
