Trouble shooting
This power amplifier has protection features to prevent any damages from misuse or faulty
conditions. If the unit senses excessive heat, short circuited speakers or overload, the protection
indicators will light, and the system will be turned off. In order to check the occurred problem,
you should turn all levels down and all power off and carefully check the installation for wiring
mistakes or short. If the amplifier shuts down due to excessive heat, the protection indicators will
not light : simply allow time for the unit to cool.
Before removing your amplifier, refer to the list below and follow the suggested procedures.
Always test the speakers and their wires first.

Check that there is battery power on the +12V
terminal.
Check that remote terminal has at least +12V
DC remote connection.
Check a good ground connection. Check all
fuses.
Check the protection LED is not lit.
Check shorts on speaker wires.
Remove speaker wires and reset the amplifier.
If the protection LED still comes on, then the
amplifier is faulty.
Check that the minimum speaker impedance is
correct.
