3 Operation
Your CE-Series amp is really very easy to operate, once it has
been properly configured. If your amplifier has not yet been
set up or configured, please refer to the installation instruc-
tions found in Section 2 of this manual, or consult with your
system installer.
Follow these steps when first turning on your amplifier:
1 Turn down the level of your audio source. For example,
set your mixer’s volume to “
∞” (off).
2 Turn down the amplifier’s level controls (counter-clock-
wise to
“∞”).
3 Turn the power switch to the on (“I”) position. The power
indicator beside the switch will turn on.
4 After the Power light turns on, test the operating range of
your input by turning up the level of your audio source to
the highest possible operating level before distortion. You
should notice the green signal indicators glowing on your
amplifier.

Controls & Indicators
Refer to the following for information on how to operate
and read your CE-Series controls and indicators. See Fig-
ures 3.1 and 3.2 for location of controls and indicators.
Power Switch: The power switch is conveniently located on
the front panel so you can easily turn the amplifier on (“I”) or off
(“O”). When the switch is depressed left, the amp is off.
Note that dangerous voltages may still be present in the
amplifier even when the power switch is in the off (“O”)
position. Before moving the amplifier or making any wiring
or installation changes, it is important to also disconnect
the power cord from the amplifier or power source.
Reset Switch: A push button reset switch is located on the
front panel and is used to reset the circuit breaker that protects
the power supply.

located on the front panel. The Fault Indicators are normally
OFF, but will blink under five different conditions:
1. When the amplifier is first powered up, until the unit is
ready for operation.
2. If the heatsinks reach a temperature above normal work-
ing limits.
