4.4. Connection of the REMOTE control

As already mentioned in the introduction of this manual, the signal attenuation level for each of the
input channels can be set using the following methods:
a) Using a remote potentiometer with nominal resistance between 10kΩ and 50kΩ.
b) Using a device that generates a control voltage from 0 to 10V DC.
c) Using remote relays/dry contacts.
NOTE: it is possible to connect a maximum of 16 inputs to one control potentiometer. It is
necessary that the ground terminals of all amplifiers are connected.
The connection cables can be up to 500m long if a section of 0,5mm
Consult the available accessories at your ECLER dealer or at www.ecler.com.

4.5. Indicators

The SP signal presence indicators (2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17) light up when the input signal reaches
approximately -40dBV.
The CLIP indicators (3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18) light up when the output signal for the speakers is -1.5dB
below the actual clipping threshold. This clipping system watches for eventual supply voltage variations,
thus giving always an accurate clipping indication, regardless of mains voltage deviations. It is normal
that when operating at high output power, the CLIP indicators light up in synchronisation with the low
frequencies, which carry the most energy. Nevertheless, you should avoid that the CLIP indicators are lit
continuously.
Thermal protection indicator "THERMAL" (1), it shines when the cooling tunnel temperature reaches
90ºC. The amplifier will automatically restart when the temperature lessens to 80ºC.

5. CLEANING

The front panel should not be cleaned with dissolvent or abrasive substances because
silk-printing could be damaged. To clean it, use a soft cloth slightly wet with water and neutral liquid
soap; dry it with a clean cloth. Be careful that water never gets into the amplifier through the holes of the
front panel.
