FAN GRILL A continuously variable-speed DC fan supplies cool air into the amplifier. Do not block this intake! The fan operates only when the amplifier heat sinks require cooling. OPERATION AC MAINS CIRCUIT SIZE REQUIREMENTS ™ Power requirements for ICA amplifiers are rated at “idle”, 1/8 power (“typical” music conditions), 1/3 power, and maximum rated power. The maximum power

SIGNAL MODE CONFIGURATION ™ ICA Series amplifiers are configured for Stereo (2-channel), Bridged Mode, or Parallel Mode operation at the input connector. To send the same signal to both channels (Parallel Mode), connect the input signal to CHANNEL A via the input connector. Run jumpers from the positive and negative terminals of the CHANNEL A input connector to the respective terminals of CHANNEL B. Both channels then share the CHANNEL A input signal but will operate independently. Speakers are

FADE-IN PROTECTION This feature operates every time the amplifier is turned on, or after a protect condition. During turn on, the amplifier goes into protect mode and leaves the speaker load disconnected until the amplifier determines that the operating status is normal. The Fade-In circuit attenuates the signal during the initial turn on or protect operation. After relay release, channel gain gradually increases to the attenuator setting to avoid unnecessary stress on the loudspeakers. THERMAL
