Page 31: Troubleshooting
LA Stand-Alone Product User Guide Revision A7 Troubleshooting 5.1 Autobalance The amplifier has a built-in algorithm for balancing the linear amplifier power stage. Normally it is not necessary to perform this procedure as the amplifier stage is balanced at the factory. Due to the inherent offsets of the analog circuitry in the power stage, offsets may occur in the system over time that cause unwanted torque ripple. -
