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.
