“STATUS” LED / PROTECTION CIRCUITRY
There is a single multi-color LED on the
control panel of the amplifier to indicate the
amplifiers operating status. This LED’s behavior
is as follows:
1) Flashing Green: amplifier is powering up,
audio output is muted.
2) Constant Green: amplifier is on and
functioning normally, audio output is active.
3) Constant Red: lights to indicate that the
amplifier has exceeded its safe operating
temperature, putting the amplifier into a self-
protection mode, which temporarily reduces
the peak power output of the amplifier. The
red light will turn green and the amplifier will
return to full-power operating mode when its
temperature returns to a safe level.
3) Constant Amber (yellow): lights to indicate
that at least one channel is in overcurrent
protection mode. This could mean that the
impedance of the speaker load connected to
the amplifier is lower than the optimum load
impedance range for the amplifier. When this
light is on, a protection circuit engages and
reduces the power output of the channel(s)
experiencing the problem. This can manifest
itself as audible distortion.
The amber indicator will also light when
a short-circuit is detected in the speaker
wiring (this can be a short between the
positive and negative speaker wires or
between either speaker wire and the vessel
chassis). This can be used to diagnose a
short-circuit by only connecting one of the
amplifier sections at a time (“Front or
“Rear” or “Sub” channels). The amber LED
will light when you connect the section that
is experiencing the problem and turn the
volume up. Note that a short in the speaker
wiring may show an alternating red/green
status light with no signal (volume down).
4) Alternating Red and Green: lights to indicate
that the amplifier is experiencing a fault that
may require service of the amplifier, its wiring
or the vessels charging system. Audio is muted
when this fault occurs. The most likely cause
of this fault is a low supply voltage condition.
If battery voltage drops below 17 volts at any
point, the amplifier (except for the “Status”
LED) will shut itself off to protect itself and the
vessels charging system. If the Remote Turn-
On voltage drops below 12 volts, the “Status”
LED will also turn off.
The amplifier will turn back on automatically
when voltage climbs back above 18 volts. This
shut-down and turn-on behavior may happen
in a rapid cycle when bass-heavy program
material causes a weak charging system to
momentarily dip too low. If this is happening
in your system, have your charging system
inspected to make sure it is working properly.
If no problem is found with the supply voltage
to the amplifier and you are still seeing
alternating Red and Green on the “Status”
LED, check that there are no short-circuits to
chassis ground in any of the speaker wiring
in the vessel. Disconnect speaker connectors
from the amplifier one-by-one to check.
If no problem is found with the supply or
remote voltage, disconnect everything except
power/ground/remote. If the amplifier is then
turned on and displays an alternating red-
green, the amplifier needs service.

amplifier, refer to Appendix D (pages 20, 21).
