Auto Standby Function; Led Indicators - Ecler CA120HZ Manual De Instrucciones

4.3. AUTO STANDBY Function

The AUTO STANDBY function (idle or low consumption mode) means you can install the
CA120HZ in inaccessible places and leave the device connected to the mains power supply permanently
because when no signal is detected, it automatically goes into standby mode, saving energy.
To enable AUTO STANDBY use the micro switch with the same name on the rear panel of the unit
(see section 7. DIAGRAM OF FUNCTIONS). When activated, if there is no audio signal in any of the
inputs (or the signal is very weak, below the activation threshold), the CA120HZ automatically goes into
STANDBY mode, and the ON/STBY on the front panel of the device goes orange. When a valid audio
signal is detected in any of the inputs, the CA120HZ leaves standby mode and starts operating normally
again and the ON/STBY LED goes green.
When you enable AUTO STANDBY mode with the micro switch (position ON) one of two things
happens:
a) There is NO audio signal in the inputs. Result: the amplifier immediately goes into AUTO
STANDBY mode
b) There is an audio signal in the inputs. Result: the amplifier stays active
When the amplifier goes into AUTO STANDBY mode, all the LED indicators go out with the
exception of ON/STBY. If the amplifier is in STANDBY mode and you turn the VOL/MUTE knob to
adjust the volume or activate the MUTE function, the LED lights will come on for a short time then go out
again. Remember that the first acting on the VOL/MUTE knob, this will only reset the LED indicators,
and will not change any of the settings.
When the unit is a special mode (source selection or setting adjustment) the LED indicators will
not go out even if the amplifier is in AUTO STANDBY mode.

4.4. LED indicators

•
SP: The signal presence or SP LED indicator shows that there is a signal in the amplifier
input. This lights up when the input level reaches the established detection threshold.
•
CLIP: The saturation or CLlP LED indicator comes on when the signal delivered to the
speakers is close to the amplifier's clipping or saturation level. Input signals should be set to
ensure the CLIP (saturation or cut off) indicators never stay on, but that they do so at most to
the beat of the lowest sound frequencies. Otherwise the amplified signal will be distorted with
low quality and low intelligibility.
Note: If the input signal is too high, the CLIP indicator lighting up very frequently over a
short time interval (a few seconds), the amplifier may go into protection mode, being muted to
return to normal operation in a short time
•
MUTE: This lights up when the MUTE function is active (silent mode)
•
ON/STBY: the green light comes on when the equipment is in normal operating mode and it
goes orange when it is in standby or low consumption mode (STANDBY).
•
LEVEL: This flashes when you adjust the general level of the device. It also lights up during
special adjustment modes, input levels (see section 4.2. Special active source selection
mode and setting adjustments)
•
BASS: This light up during special adjustment modes bass frequencies (see section 4.2.
Special active source selection mode and setting adjustments)
•
TREBLE: This light up during special adjustment modes, treble frequencies (see section 4.2.
Special active source selection mode and setting adjustments)
•
LINE1, LINE2, LINE3/MIC: These lights up during special modes, selection of active sources
and adjustments (see section 4.2. Special active source selection mode and setting
adjustments)
