PROTECTION CIRCUITRY
Your REFERENCE404s amplifier is protected against both overheating and
short circuits by means of the following circuits:
•
Auto High Current™ power supply
•
Main power supply fuses
•
Circuit breaker on each channel
•
Smart Power Supply Thermal Rollback activating at 85°C
•
A fail-safe thermal protection circuit activating at 95°C.
Your amplifier also incorporates an innovative Fault Diagnosis system that
identifies a blown power supply fuse.
NOTE: If you experience blown main power supply fuses, DO NOT increase
values beyond the original fuse value! Doing so will void your warranty and
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM CAUSE

• verify adequate amplifier ventilation
Channels 1,2,3 or 4
experiencing inter-
mittent output • activation of the internal circuit breakers.
• check to make sure channels 1-4 are driving a
1/2 ohm per channel load or greater
• speaker or leads may be shorted
