Trip problems – Fault Table
Symptom Circumstances Possible Cause(s) Cure
Amp shutting
down (LED goes
red, music dies)
after 10 or 20
minutes.
Probably
intermittent -
depending on what
type of music is
played and how
loudly it is being
played.
Amp is not actually tripping
but is going into stand-by and
sensitivity is set to minimum
(or close to minimum) on
affected channel(s).
Adjust sensitivity closer to
maximum.
Amp tripping Probably
intermittent
Amp is tripping to protect
itself due to the presence of
a potentially damaging
situation (over-heating, over-
current etc)
If unsure, compare ‘problem’
unit with a known good unit
under identical
circumstances.
See above section - ‘Important
Information about Trip’
Amp permanently
tripped
Probably constant
The above Trip
faults have been
ruled out.
Monolithic IC(s) (U100,
U101, U200, U201) blown.
Please note – U100 & U201
are only fitted to the LK140
It is advisable to replace the
entire board, as blown
monolithics often destabilise the
board – repair is not normally
reliable.
