REAR PANEL OPERATING SUMMARY
 
The SR560 rear panel is pictured in Figure 
3. Various interface and power connectors 
are provided, along with fuses and charger 
status LEDs. 
 
 
AC Power Input
 
The power entry module contains the 
receptacle for the AC line cord and fuse. 
The line fuse should be a 1 A slow-blow for 
100/120 VAC operation, or a 1/2 A slow-
blow for 220/240 VAC operation. 
 
 
Amplifier Power Output
 
The -12 V, +12 V, and AMP GROUND 
banana jacks provide external DC power up 
to 200 mA for use as a bias source 
referenced to the amplifier's floating power 
supplies. 
 
The CHASSIS GROUND banana jack is 
provided to allow the amplifier's ground to 
be referenced to the chassis. If the unit is 
connected to an AC power source via a 
three prong grounding plug, the chassis 
ground is connected to the AC line ground 
conductor. 
 
 
Battery Charger
 
The two 3 A slow-blow fuses protect the 
battery supply and charging circuitry. If 
these fuses are blown, battery power will be 
unavailable, and charging of the batteries 
will not be possible. 
 
When both the positive and negative supply 
batteries are dead, the red "CHARGE" LED 
will be on brightly, and the batteries will be 
charging at a fast rate. When the batteries 
approach a fully charged condition, the 
charging current will be reduced to complete 
the charge and maintain the batteries. 
Because the batteries charge at different 
rates, the indicators on the rear panel can 
reflect the charge status of the positive and 
negative batteries independently. When 
one set of batteries switches to the 
"MAINTAIN" mode, the red "CHARGE" LED 
will be reduced to half brightness, and the 
yellow "MAINTAIN" LED will turn on at half 
brightness. When both batteries switch to 
"MAINTAIN", the red "CHARGE" LED will
