INSTALLATION:

Dayton Audio amplifiers are designed to help deliver a great audio experience. However, where you place the amplifier can
have a large effect on the performance you receive, and the life of the unit. If you are not rack-mounting the amplifier, posi­tion it with all feet resting on a solid level surface. Be sure that the amplifier is in a well-ventilated area and DO NOT install
the amplifier near a source of heat or in an extremely humid or wet location.

CAUTION: All connections and switching must be done with the amplifier’s power switch positioned to ‘Off’. Connect the
power cord last to be sure that the amplifier is off during all of your connections and set up.

FRONT PANEL:

1. Master Power Switch / Indicator LED

Front panel pushbutton power switch turns the amplifier
on and off. When the switch is on and the indicator LED
is red, the amplifier is in standby mode. The remote turn
on switch (located on the rear) is either in the “trigger”
or “auto” position. When the LED is blue, the amplifier is
fully active. The master power switch will turn off the am­plifier no matter which power mode has been selected.

2. Zone Status Indicators

~115VAC 60Hz Fuse:T8AL
~230VAC 50Hz Fuse:T4AL

indicate its operational status. These indicators provide quick
and easy troubleshooting of the system. If the circuitry deter-
mines that a channel must be shut down due to excessive
heat or low i

mpedance (a short), only the channels that are
affected will be turned off causing the zone LED to turn red.
The remaining zones will continue to operate and maintain a

blue LED status. Once the condition has been corrected for
the zone in question, the status LED will return to blue.

Note: When the power LED is red and the zone status LEDS
