TRIDENT PROTECTlON CIRCUITRY

Your Rubicon amplifier is protected against both overheating and short circuits by means of main power fuses and the following circuits:

+Auto High Current power supply

+Sneaker Output Protection

+Ground Fault Differential

+Smart Power Supply Thermal Rollback & a Thermal Protection Circuit

r NOTE: If you experience blown main power supply fuses, it is like@ that the amplifier is seeing a dead shorf, either in the speaker wire or in the speaker itself. Rectify the problem before blowing muttiple fuses! DO NOT increase values beyond fhe original fuse value! Doing so will void your warrant and may damage your amplifer.
