Displays the value of measure, which is the gain of an amplifier.

Faults:

Amplifier Gain Too High:

If Measure > (Unloaded Reference x (100% + Tolerance%)), an Amplifier Gain Too High fault is
recognized. Once this fault occurs, perform the following:

o

Make sure there is a good connection between the speaker and the IDA8C/S.

o

Replace the non-working speaker with a working one.

o

Check the gain of the amplifiers to see if the value has changed after getting a reference.

If all of the above actions have been checked but the amplifier still receives a fault that is too
high, replace the amplifier.

Amplifier Gain Too Low:

If Measure < (Full Unloaded Reference x (100% - Tolerance%)), an Amplifier Gain Too Low fault
is recognized. Once this fault occurs, check the following:

o

Check if the signal going into the amplifier is too large. Some amplifiers have an indicator
"Overload". Check this indicator.

o

Check if speaker is working or damaged.

If all of the above have been checked but the amplifier still receives a fault that is too low,
change the amplifier.

If this fault generated after the speaker configuration is changed, you can perform a reference
again to get new values for a reference.

Amplifier Fail:

Measure < (Unloaded Reference / 10), once this fault happens, check the following:

o

Check if the amplifier power on.

o

Check if the gain of the amplifier is set to 0. If it is, set to a suitable value.

o

Check if the wires between the amplifier and the IDA8 are connected correctly.

If all the above have been checked completely but still the amplifier receives a fail fault, replace
the amplifier.
