The figure 2.2.1 show the main screen; this screen appears after a short presentation when the user powers on the
amplifier. In the first line, after power on, the writing "WAIT" appears; if the system parameters are normal, the writing
are replaced with "READY". During the normal operation the controller monitors the system parameters. If a
paramenter is out of range, the correspondent code error is written on the LCD meter of the relative channel in the
third line; if the abnormal parameter is associated to both channel, the error code is written in the center.
The LED bars can function as output voltage or output current meters; in the first case the LCD meters function as
output current meter, viceversa in the second case.
when lighted, the presence of input audio signal above -60 dBV on the corresponding channel; the 2nd, 3rd and 4th
LED in the ascending order indicates an output level of -3dB, -6dB and -10dB rispectively. The green LEDs will be
lighted during normal working. The yellow LED will light at -1 dB. If the level of the audio signal reach the channel
output capability, red LED will be triggered.
The LED bars have diagnostic function also; a flashing yellow LED indicates a critic range of temperature (from 80°C
to 85°C)of the power devices on the corresponding channel, if this LED is lighting constantly, the temperature is above
85°C. A lighting constantly red LED indicates that the corresponding channel is under protection and in this case the
writing "PROT" appears in the first line of the display.
