place the amp into standby mode. When the connection is opened, the amplifier returns to normal opera-
tion. The front panel power switch will flash when the amplifier is in standby.
6.3 Standby Switch
ground (EG) and +5V pins for 5V logic outputs, and are
assigned in software <Device Options> to indicate an amplifier fault state. The
assignable fault conditions are overtemperature, rail voltage, and average power,
the same conditions that could place the amplifier into protect mode. Logic low
(0V) indicates fault condition. In the first example to the right, a remote red
LED is wired to F1 and +5V and turns on when a user-assigned fault condition
exists. F1 is normally high (+5V) but goes low (0V)
on fault. The second example uses a green LED wired
to F2 and EG to indicate no-fault, so the LED remains
on unless there is a fault. In the third example, a relay
circuit is driven by the F1 pin in order to switch on a
room or rack exhaust fan if the amplifier becomes se-
verely overheated. Maximum fault pin source current
is 20mA per pin. Maximum fault pin sink current is
200mA. Use an external +5V supply as shown if sink
current exceeds 200mA.
6.5 Preset
- Each pin (P1 through P4) can be connected to the adjacent ground pin (G) via Ashly's WR-2 remote or other contact
closure to recall a stored preset or sub preset from the amplifier. Preset pins 1-4 correspond directly to amplifier presets 01 - 04.
6.6 Serial Data Connector

232 controllers. A technical
