robust protection Finally, your new Classé amplier incorporates a variety of protection circuits, all
designed to protect both the amplier and your loudspeakers against dangerous
fault conditions. Signicantly, these protection circuits do not intrude upon
orlimitthenormalperformanceoftheamplier;rather,theysimplyputthe
amplier into protection mode when confronted with abnormal conditions.
ese conditions include:
• outputoverload
• DCoset
• ACmainsvoltage(outsideofnormaltolerances)
• excessiveoperatingtemperatures
If any such conditions occur (any of which might harm either your amplier or
possibly your loudspeakers), the amplier 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 amplier 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 rectied.
