11. Protection & Safety Circuits
11-1 Protection Circuits
HL-2.5KFX is equipped with ten protection circuits as shown in the table below.
Protections are commanded by the 16bit microprocessor chip, and DC drain
voltage (120 V) is cut off, when the protection circuit works. Also PROT lamp is lit
and the amplifier becomes through state.
If PROT lamp is blinking, you may reset the shut down with OPER/STBY
switch. Reason for the shut down is displayed on LCD panel except for some
cases.
For OVER VDD and OVER TEMP shut downs, turn the AC Power switch off
and on to reset the amplifier.
