By-passing the signal detector

Depending on its configuration, the LK85/140 will remain on

standby for 10 or 20 minutes after an input signal has been

removed. You can override this facility by fitting an internal link

which forces the amplifier to remain on as long as the mains power

is connected. Please consult your Linn retailer for further details.

Protection

Like all Linn products, the LK85/140 is a rugged amplifier, designed

and built to withstand most eventualities. To ensure safe operation,

the amplifier automatically shuts down in conditions of extreme

heat or power overloading.

If the amplifier overheats it will power down and the indicator light

on the front panel will turn red until the temperature has fallen to

safe operating levels, usually after about 30 seconds. The amplifier

has been designed to withstand temperatures of up to 70°C.

If the amplifier continually overheats try increasing the ventilation

around the unit. Refer to the section

Positioning, page 6.

Consult your Linn retailer if any problems persist.
