AMPLIFIER Status Indicator Lights & Protection Circuitry

There are two status indicator lights on the input / control end of the amplifier.

1)“Power” (Green): lights to indicate that the amplifier is turned on and operating normally.

2)“Protect” (Red): Indicates that the amplifier protection circuitry has been activated to prevent product failure due to a short-circuit or a dangerously low impedance connected to the amplifier output(s). Connecting the speaker outputs to an impedance lower than 2 ohms will cause this protection mode to activate. When this protection mode is activated, the amplifier will reduce it maximum power output to protect its circuitry, which will manifest itself as increased distortion. When the problem is corrected, the amplifier will return to normal operation.

Advanced Rollback Thermal protection Unlike conventional thermal protection

systems, which shut down an amplifier when it overheats, this system protects the amplifier by gradually reducing power output if the amplifier’s safe operating temperature is exceeded. The amplifier will continue to operate and return

to normal power output once its temperature returns to a normal range.

Low-Voltage protection:

If the car’s supply voltage drops below 10 volts, the entire amplifier will shut itself off to protect its internal circuitry. The green “Powerindicator will turn off when this occurs. The amplifier will turn back on when voltage climbs back above 10 volts. This may happen in a rapid cycle when bass-heavy program material causes a weak charging system to dip below 10 volts momentarily. If this is happening in your system, turn your audio system off and have your power wiring, ground connections and charging system inspected.

Servicing your JL Audio Amplifier

If your amplifier fails or malfunctions, please return it to your authorized JL Audio dealer so that it may be sent in to JL Audio for service. There are no user serviceable parts or fuses inside the amplifier. The unique nature of the circuitry in the JL Audio amplifiers requires specifically trained service personnel. Do not attempt

to service the amplifier yourself or through unauthorized repair facilities. This will not only void the warranty, but may result in the creation of more problems within the amplifier.

If you have any questions about the installation or setup of the amplifier not covered in this manual, please contact your dealer or technical support.
