PROTE CTION
The AV5105 is a very rugged amplier. However should you have a slight
accident, for example shorting the speaker leads, it will shut down for 4
seconds then power up again. It will drive less than the rated 4 loudspeaker
load, but expect it to trip out occasionally if you try to drive much more than
400W into 2, per channel!
Internal temperature sensors (one per channel) will shut the channel down
if the heatsink temperature exceeds about 70ºC. It will reset when the
temperature really drops, usually about 30 seconds. If the AV5105 keeps
shutting down you are abusing it! Check your loads or provide more cooling.
Please note that the front panel indicator is driven from only the left channel.
If your installation uses only one channel of an AV5105, use the left one.
