When an amplifier fault occurs, the amplifier mutes its outputs
and indicates an error. After a short period of time the amplifier
will try to operate again. If the fault condition persists, the ampli-
fier will attempt to restart six times, after which it will remain
muted.
Amplifier faults are typically caused by a shorted speaker line, an
overdriven amplifier, or a saturated output transformer.
• To check for a shorted speaker line, remove the speaker con-
nection from the amplifier channel. If this resolves the problem,
locate and correct the shorted loudspeaker line.
• To make sure that you are not overdriving the E-4 output,
change to a different source. If the problem no longer exists,
use the Installer™ software to reduce the input level of the
original source that was overdriving the output.
• To make sure an output transformer is not being saturated,
check to see if the correct speaker EQ setting is selected.
If none of these actions solve the problem, read the instructions
in the following flow chart or check the error log using the
Installer™ software.
