Additional functions
1. Status LED
The Status LED (page 17, point f) indicates
the operating mode of the amplifier.
Green
flashing: Amplifier startup in progress.
Green:
Amplifier is ready for operation.
Orange
fast flashing: The internal fuses are
blown. Check the fuses inside the device and
replace them if necessary. The fuses should
only be replaced with ones of the same rating
(3 x 30 A) to prevent damage to the device.
Using higher-rated fuses can lead to danger-
ous consequences.
Orange:
Protection mode is active. This may
have different root causes:
1. Undervoltage: The input voltage of the
amplifier is continuously below 10.5 Volts.
22
Short-term drops down to 6 Volts are per-
missible and do not activate the under-
voltage protection.
2. Overvoltage: The input voltage of the am-
plifier exceeds 18 Volts.
3. Speaker impedance too low: see page 21,
point 8. If the amplifier does not turn on, it
is defective and needs to be sent to your
local authorized HELIX dealer for repair
service.
Red:
Protection mode is active. The tem-
perature of the amplifier exceeds 85°C. The
internal temperature protection shuts down
the device until it reaches a safe temperature
level again.
