ENELICIT MK5
OPERATION
THERMAL CUT-OUT
If the amplier reaches a temperature liable to cause internal electronic damage, a thermal protection sensor will shut the unit o or disable
speaker output. The unit should be turned o for at least 10 minutes to allow for cooling. After this period, the amplier should automatically
reset and continue to work normally. If it does not, turn the unit o for a longer period, allowing complete cooling of the amplier before
trying again.
OPERATING TEMPERATURE
Allow adequate air circulation around the left and right hand sides of the product, as these are the heat sinks for the power amplier and
will run hot with high listening levels. This unit is intended for use in moderate climates. Recommended ambient operating temperature 5 to
35°C.
The thermal cutout should only occur with continuous over-driving of a dicult load. If it occurs under normal conditions, there could be
a problem with insucient airow around the heat sinks or a fault with the loudspeakers. In this case it is advisable to contact your Rega
dealer.
DC PROTECTION
One of the design requirements of the Elicit was to keep the capacitors in the signal path to a minimum to prevent unnecessary sound
degradation at this crucial line level stage. In order to achieve this requirement, the output of both the pre and power amplier are DC
coupled. A servo control is applied to the pre-amplier. In the unlikely event of a circuit failure causing any one of the above outputs to
produce an excessive DC voltage, the DC protection will activate within milliseconds, protecting any connected device.
SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION
If in the event that the speaker leads are shorted, the fold back short circuit protection will protect the output stage from excessive currents.
This protection circuit is not placed in the audio signal path and therefore does not aect sound quality.
