- connect a load resistor of 1 Ω the short-circuit current-limiter limits the output voltage at the load resistor
symmetrically (monitor via oscilloscope) to a peak voltage value of 35 V, respectively 27 V ( approx. 35 A
respectively 27 A maximum peak output current).
5.7. DC-VOLTAGE PROTECTION CIRCUIT TEST
separately test both power amplifier channels:
- drive the power amplifier with a test signal (f = 7 Hz) and without load
- at an input voltage of approx. 3 Vpeak the protection circuit reacts and tries continuously to re-start!
The protect-LED blinks with the same frequency.
- Repeat the test with f = 14 Hz; the power amplifier should not switch off.
5.8. HF-PROTECTION CIRCUIT TEST
Caution: it is mandatory to drive the power amplifier without load resistors connected.
Drive the power amplifier with a +20 dBu sine burst signal (40 mS ON, 960 mS OFF) f = 100 kHz applied to
each channel at a time. The protection circuit should react. The power amplifier tries to re-start continuously.
The PROTECT LED blinks with the same frequency.
Repeat the test with f = 50 kHz; the power amplifier should not switch off.
5.9. LED INDICATOR TEST
Apply a 1 kHz sine signal and increase its level. At approximately -30 dBu the SIGNAL LEDs will light and at
about +1dBu the LIMIT LEDs light.

7. GROUND LIFT switch
The circuit ground (at the input or the output connector) is measured versus the common ground of the
enclosure (contact at the ground terminal, located on the rear panel - or common ground of the mains cord).
position of the switch: GROUNDED : R = 0 Ω
UNGROUNDED : R = 5 Ω
8. Amplitudes - non-linearities
- testing with load resistor 8 Ω, dual mode
