MULTICHANNEL AMPLIFIER
Product Features
ERROR DETECTION
The Plinius Odeon Multichannel Amplifier has in-built error detection. This will function
under the following conditions:
•
When the amplifier is overdriven/clipped
•
If any internal fuse is damaged.
Should either of these circumstances arise the amplifier will disconnect the output of
the channel/s that have an error condition. This condition will remain until the input
signal level is reduced or the damaged fuse replaced. Whenever error detection is
triggered, the power LED and the lid LED of the module that is going into error will
flash on and off.
FUSE PROTECTION
When any rail fuse is damaged one or more fuse warning LEDs will light. These LEDs
can be seen through the lid and are located next to the fuse that has blown. Should
any of the internal fuses need to be replaced, ensure that the amplifier is switched
OFF and disconnected from the mains supply. The lid of the amplifier will then need
to be removed and the fuses located. Replace them with the same type only.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT FIT A FUSE WITH A HIGHER RATING.
NOTE: Fuse failure may indicate a severe problem. Check all speakers and speaker
cables for damage etc. Should the amplifier continue to exhibit rail fuse failure
contact your Plinius dealer.
LED BRIGHTNESS CONTROL
Your Plinius Odeon has an LED brightness control that will adjust all lid and front
panel LEDs. A small flat bladed screwdriver can be used to adjust the brightness.
The LED brightness control is a small multi turn potentiometer and is located on the
rear panel of the amplifier next to the remote trigger terminals.
TEMPERATURE MONITORING
The Plinius Odeon Amplifier has temperature-monitoring circuitry. When the amplifier
reaches a predetermined internal temperature of 45°C (113°F) due to inadequate
ventilation, the amplifier will be shut down until the temperature returns to normal.
When the temperature has exceeded the set point, the power LED will flash four times
in quick succession, pause then repeat. If over-temperature shutdown is occurring
frequently, check whether ventilation around the amplifier is adequate.
