robust protection Finally, your new Classé amplier incorporates a variety of protection circuits, all
designed to protect both the amplier and your loudspeakers against dangerous
fault conditions. Signicantly, these protection circuits do not intrude upon
orlimitthenormalperformanceoftheamplier;rather,theysimplyputthe
amplier into protection mode when confronted with abnormal conditions.
ese conditions include:
• outputoverload
• DCoset
• ACmainsvoltage(outsideofnormaltolerances)
• excessiveoperatingtemperatures
If any such conditions occur (any of which might harm either your amplier or
possibly your loudspeakers), the amplier will immediately go into protection
mode. In such a case, a Standby LED indicator will blink red until the fault can
be righted and the amplier is re-started by pressing and holding the standby
button.
Likewise, if the AC mains voltage is out of range, the Standby LED will
blink. In all cases, the unit will need to be re-started once the cause of the fault
condition has been rectied.
