BOULDERLINK MESSAGES
Each component in the system can send a message to the preamplifier which is then shown on its display. This is particularly helpful in confirming the operating status of each power amplifier in a multiple amplifier system. Typical messages on an 810 Preamplifier, 1010 Preamplifier or 1012 DAC Preamplifier are as follows.
“AMPLIFIER 1 ERROR” means that an internal power supply has failed and the amplifier has turned itself off to protect the speakers from damage.
“AMPLIFIER 1 IS HOT” means that is has turned itself off due to a higher than normal temperature condition on the heatsinks.
“AMPLIFIER CLIP” means that the amplifier’s output has momentarily reached its voltage limitation.
“UNIT 1 IS OFFLINE” means that the slave is no longer responding via Boulderlink. Its Boulderlink cable may have become disconnected, or the mains power has been disconnected.
“UNIT 1 IS ONLINE” means that the slave is now responding via Boulderlink in a normal manner and has been recognized by the master.
