1. OPERATION MODES
1.1. Drive Mode
The system can be set to operate in either "Normal" or "Economy" mode when the power is switched on. Use
the PC software to set the drive mode.
•NormalMode
The normal drive mode in which all amplifiers except standby amplifiers are in active status.
System failures are automatically monitored once every within 100 seconds.
•EconomyMode
Unused amplifiers are placed in standby mode, and are switched to active status only when they are used for
broadcast.
System failures are automatically monitored once every 24 hours.
[About amplifier status and indication]
Active Status: Normal state of operation. The Channel LED lights green.
Standby Status: All amplifier control sections are operative, however, to reduce power consumption, no power
is supplied to the sections that actually amplify the output signals. Channels in standby mode
are indicated by corresponding red Channel LEDs.
1.2. System Operation Mode
The system's operation mode changes when there is a power failure or the emergency mode is activated,
thereby changing the status of the unused amplifiers and monitoring intervals.
Notes
• The system automatically reverts to its most recent operation mode after the emergency mode is reset.
• General broadcast stops automatically when the system enters the mode in which general broadcast is
disabled.
