Back-Panel Controls And Connectors; Figure 3.2 - 8101 Back-Panel Controls And Connectors - AE Techron 8101 Operator's Manual

H. Cooling Vents: Front-to-rear forced airflow.
I. Power Indicator: Blue LED indicates AC power has been applied and is within the safe operating
range of the power supply. The LED will flash when the AC line voltage is approximately 15%
above or 25% below the nominal rated value.
J. Data Indicator: Feature not implemented
K. Bridge Mode Indicator: Yellow LED illuminates when the rear panel Mode Switch is set to the
"Bridge" Position
L. Power Switch: Push-on / push-off switch.

3.3 Back-Panel Controls and Connectors

This section provides an overview of Back-Panel controls and connectors found on the 8101 amplifier. Refer
to Figure 3.2 for item locations.
M. Power Cord Connector: Standard 15 amp IEC inlet. A circuit breaker located near the IEC power
inlet protects the amplifier from excessive AC current draw.
N. Reset Switch: Resets the circuit breaker that protects the power supply.
O. Ventilation Grille: Air flow is front to back. Do not block the ventilation grilles.
P. Input Panel: 8100 Series Input Card includes two balanced 3-pin removable barrier connectors.
The "Y" Input Switch is described under letter R. Behind the input panel are the Input Sensitivity
Switches (not shown). One 3-position switch per channel selects various sensitivity settings.
Q. Mode Switch: This two-position switch is used to select the amplifier's mode of operation: Dual
or Bridge Mono. Dual mode is used for 2-8 ohm loads. Bridge mode is used for 4-16 ohm loads.
R. "Y" Input Switch: When set to ON, this switch parallels the input signals of the two channels, for
use when the input signal is mono. The amplifier's channel outputs are still independent. The "Y"
Input Switch also can be used to daisy-chain the signal to another amplifier. When this switch is
set to ON, CH-1 input and CH-2 input are paralleled, reducing input impedance by 50%. Either
CH-1 input or CH-2 input can be used when the "Y" Input switch is set to ON.
S. Input Connectors: Balanced 3-pin terminal block connectors, one per channel.
T. Channel Level Controls: One 21-position detented rotary attenuator per channel, ranging from –
100 dB to 0 dB gain.
U. High-Pass Filter: One 3-position switch per channel selects between OFF, 35 Hz and 70 Hz 3-rd
order filters.
V. Output Connectors: One four-pole touch-proof terminal strip. Accepts up to 10 AWG terminal
forks.
Output Cover (not shown): This covers the output connectors, protecting users from the connectors'
potentially high voltage. This cover is required for Class 2 wiring installations.
