For Modules with two or more identical output

channel names, the channel number will be

appended.

STATUS - OK is displayed when all load detection and monitoring functions report that the load attached
to the power output channel is normal. If output conditions are such that a fault or warning state arises, a
message will be displayed here advising the nature of the problem. Please refer to the associated Operation
Manual for a list of fault/warning messages.

LoadPilot status (PLM+ and D Series only). LoadPilot is configured via the separate

20.6.6 Power Output Data Block

6

The bottom display block provides user feedback about the performance of the device. The information is
(from top):

AMPLIFIER - Confirms Frame label and channel number. The channel number corresponds to the
power output channel. The Frame name and number are separated by a colon.

STATUS - OK is displayed during normal operation, when no faults, warnings or clipping is occurring. If
an amplifier-related fault or warning state arises, a message is displayed here indicating the problem.

TPSU - Provides the temperature of the power supply. The temperature is expressed as a percentage of
the maximum safe value.

TCH - Provides the temperature of the particular channel’s output stage, displayed as a percentage of
the maximum safe value.

TAMP - Whichever of TPSU or TCH is closer to the maximum temperature allowed is also displayed on
a horizontal bar graph.

20.6.7 Mute and Polarity Enable

Controls to the right of the channel strips enable and disable the MUTE and POLARITY functions on a global
basis. When MUTE is enabled (default), the mute buttons are active. When MUTE is disabled, the mute
status cannot be changed.

Polarity control allows three states:

HIDDEN (default) removes the polarity buttons from the channel strips.

VISIBLE displays the polarity buttons but they are disabled.
