Power On and Operation

The front panel switch or rear panel 12 volt trigger input is used to power on the amplifier. When using the 12 volt trigger the front panel switch should remain in the off (out) posi- tion. The eVo amplifiers have been designed to remain powered up at all times, their very low standby power is conducive to this. The blue front panel LED remains on when the eVo is in normal operating mode. When the amplifier shuts down in protec-

tion mode a small red LED lights next to the front panel power switch. If this occurs, remove power and insure that no output terminal is con- nected to ground or to another termi- nal. Restore power and the amplifier should return to normal operation.

If not then there may be an internal fault and the amplifier should be returned to an authorized service center. Contact your dealer, distribu- tor or Bel Canto Design.
