Butler Audio TDB 5150 manual Use and Operation, Front Panel Power Switch, Rear Panel Remote Jack

6)DC Offset Voltage at Speaker Output: Continuous monitoring circuit immediately opens the speaker relay upon the detection of any excessive DC voltage level.

7)Short circuit protection: In addition to the Main DC Power Fuses, mentioned in #5 above, this continuously active circuit becomes active to the speaker output below a load of approx. 2 ohms. It will prevent a catastrophic over-current condition for the output devices in the case of a direct short circuit between the + and - output speaker binding posts.

8)Over Temp Circuit Breaker: Opens the speaker relay if the heatsink temperature exceeds 115 deg. C. If this occurs, the amp should automatically begin operate again after the temperature has decreased sufficiently.

NOTE: BE CERTAIN THAT AIR FLOW IS COMPLETELY UNRESTRICTED ABOVE AND BELOW THE AMPLIFIER. IF RACKMOUNTED, LEAVE AT LEAST A STANDARD SINGLE SPACE BETWEEN THE NEXT PIECE OF EQUIPMENT (TOP AND BOTTOM) OR PROVIDE FORCED AIR COOLING. THIS AMP IS DESIGNED FOR USE ONLY AT ROOM TEMPERATURE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION AND CIRCULATION.

IMPORTANT: COOL OPERATION = LONGEST LIFE AND RELIABILITY! DO NOT OPERATE WITHIN A COMPLETELY CLOSED CABINET OR ENCLOSURE! LET YOUR AMP BREATHE!

Use and Operation:

Important: Do not apply power until you have read and understand this section! Connect or disconnect cables only with amplifier OFF.

Note: Your new Butler Audio multi-channel amp is designed to operate with ONE separate speaker system connected per channel. Bridging or combining channels in any manner should never be attempted. Connect "Speaker Outputs" to speakers only! DO NOT

SHORT ANY SPEAKER OUTPUT POST TERMINAL TO ANY OTHER SPEAKER OUTPUT

POST TERMINAL. CONNECT EACH SEPARATE SPEAKER LOAD ONLY BETWEEN THE

SPEAKER POSTS OF ONE CHANNEL. DO NOT CROSS-CONNECT IN ANY MANNER!

Front Panel Power Switch:

Supplies main AC power to the amplifier. The ON position is up and will be indicated by the blue LED indicator and the blue glow of the tubes through the front panel louvers.

Rear Panel Remote Jack:

This 3.5mm standard mini phone jack is connected to a heavy duty AC relay that parallels the operation of the Front Panel Power Switch. Therefore if remote operation is desired, leave the switch in the OFF (down) position. Whenever an 8 - 13V DC voltage is supplied to the jack (either polarity) the amp will be turned ON just as if the front power switch were used. It will not harm the amplifier if the front panel power switch is turned ON with the relay activated, but this will disable the remote function until it is switched OFF again.
