GR/OVL

Indicates whether gain reduction (GR) of the

respective channel is active or the respective

channel is overloaded (OVL).

Mains/SMPS Displays the current mains voltage and

frequency, the current mains power

consumption in combination with a power

limiter LED and the current temperature of the

switched mode power supply (SMPS).

9.5.4. Mains current limiter (MCL)

Selecting «Mains current limiter» opens the corresponding

subscreen.

The D80 features a power limiter which serves to limit the mains

current draw whenever the mains current draw threatens to trigger

the circuit breaker.

Limiting is done by reducing the sound levels evenly on all

channels. This ensures that the tonal balance is kept.

The

Mains Current Limiter function allows to set the maximum

mains current draw of the device within the range of 95 to 50 % of

the nominal limit.

The Nominal current limit depends on the mains voltage range:

16 A in high range, 30 A in low range

This may be useful when the onsite conditions require two devices

to be operated per phase conductor or if the onsite circuit breaker

is not sufficiently dimensioned.

On/Off

Activates the additional limiter.

Mains

current limit

The maximum mains current draw is defined as

a percentage value of the nominal current

limit, as indicated above and can be set in the

range from 95 % down to 50 % in steps of

5 %.

When the MCL is activated, the defined value is permanently

displayed on the «Power» button on the Home screen.
