AMPLIFIER MONITORING DEVICE AUTOMATIC<br />

For main amplifiers and 2 backup amplifiers (pilot tone and ground fault)<br />

Description<br />

The FA-242 Fault Auto Exchanger permits automatic<br />

monitoring of up to 8 amplifiers. This includes the monitoring<br />

of the actual function of the amplifier with pilot tone and, at<br />

the same time, the monitoring for ground faults. If an<br />

amplifier fails, the device automatically switches over to a<br />

backup amplifier. After the fault has been eliminated, the<br />

amplifier monitoring device automatically switches back to<br />

the main amplifier.<br />

Please consider the following features:<br />

● The ground fault detection function may also be<br />

deactivated, if required.<br />

● The device has a volume control for each main amplifier.<br />

● With terminals which are not used, the RESET button of<br />

the respective input must be pressed.<br />

*<br />

● Ground faults are indicated through LEDs and an audible<br />

signal (can be disabled).<br />

● The failure of an amplifier is also indicated through LEDs<br />

and an audible signal, which may also be switched off.<br />

● The amplifier monitoring device is equipped with a pilot<br />

tone generator (22 kHz).<br />

● The audio inputs and outputs have been designed with<br />

balanced connections.<br />

● Only amplifiers with output transformers can be<br />

monitored, as otherwise the ground fault LED flashes.<br />

● In the case of an amplifier failure, an additional<br />

connection supplies 7 V for the switching of external<br />

devices.<br />

● Speaker and control cables are connected by means of<br />

screw-type connectors.<br />

● When 2 FA-242 devices are used, 16 amplifiers can be<br />

connected to a backup amplifier.<br />

● The amplifier monitoring device operates on mains power<br />

(230 V) or 24 V DC (emergency power supply).<br />

● It is possible to switch 8 amplifiers to 1 backup amplifier<br />

or to set up 2 groups with 4 amplifiers each, which then<br />

can be switched to 2 backup amplifiers.<br />
