mode. The red LED will be turned off and the amplier will return
to normal operating conditions only when the output current
draw returns to acceptable levels.
14.3 Thermal protection
All Duecanali Series ampliers use a continuously variable speed
fan to assist cooling (the fan speed changes in response to the
amplier’s cooling needs). If the heat sink temperature reaches
approximately 80°C, the yellow front panel LED starts blinking.
If the temperature should rise above 85°C the thermal sensing
circuitry will mute each power section channels, the yellow LED
will be steadily on, and the power supply will be cut off. At the
same time, the “PROT” warning appears in the rst line of the
LCD display. Once the heatsink has cooled down, the amplier will
automatically reset and the yellow LED will go off. One possible
way to reduce the temperature is to reduce the output power.
14.4 DC fault protection
In order to protect your speakers from mechanical damage caused
by a DC signal coming from the amplier’s output, a DC detection
circuit is placed between the amplier’s output stage and power
supply. If a DC signal or excessive subsonic energy appears at a
channel output an instantaneous protection circuit will cut off the
power supply to both channels. Power supply shutdown is used
instead of speaker relays in order to improve the damping factor
and reliability of Duecanali Series ampliers. At the same time, the
“PROT” warning appears in the rst line of the LCD display.
14.5 Input/Output protection
An ultrasonic network decouples radio frequencies from the
outputs keeping the amplier stable with reactive loads and
protects the loudspeakers against strong very high frequency non-
musical signals above the audible range.
15 User Maintenance
15.1 Cleaning
Before attempting to clean any part of the amplier, rst disconnect
the AC main source. Use a soft cloth and mild nonabrasive
solution to clean the faceplate and chassis. WARNING! Never let
any liquid reach the internal parts of the amplier.
15.2 Service
There are no user-serviceable parts in your amplier. Refer
servicing to qualied technical personnel. In addition to having an
in-house service department, Powersoft supports a network of
authorized service centers. If your amplier needs repair contact
your Powersoft dealer (or distributor). You can also contact the
Powersoft Technical Service department to obtain the location of
the nearest authorized service center.
15.3 Dust Removal
In dusty environments, the front side air lters clog with dust after
prolonged use. The dust gathered in the lters will interfere with
cooling. You may use compressed air to remove the dust from
lters. To remove air lters:
1. rst unscrew the 2 M2 5X8 screws at the sides of the frontal
panel
2. rotate the covering grill
3. repeat the same operation for the other covering grill
filter
cover grill
FIGURE 75: Air lter removal
Air lter cleaning should be scheduled according to the dust levels
in the amplier’s operating environment.
