6 DUTY / 1 STANDBY MANUAL AMP CHANGEOVER
Standby amplifier is normally required for a continuous and uninterrupted operation of a PA system in the event that
any of the duty pack fails. A panel is required for the standby unit to take over a duty amp without having to change
the input connection or redo the cabling works.
Amperes AC3601 is a changeover panel for 6 duty with 1 standby amplifier but is expandable for a single standby
unit to cater for more than 6 duty packs.
Protection circuitry is embedded that only allowed a failed duty amplifier to be taken over by standby unit to prevent
overloading. Priority features shall ensure higher numbered failed unit has preference for changeover.

employ one AS4000 and the dry contact output from the unit shall then
be connected to Amperes AX700. Repeating this link shall then form an
automatic amplifier fault changeover / surveillance system.

AX3700
6 Duty / 1 Standby Auto Amplifier Changeover Panel
Features technical specifications
application schematic
auto amplifier changeover
Amperes AX3700 offers a great flexibility and simplicity in cabling for auto amplifier fault changeover system with its combination of amplifier
fault sensor modules and changeover panel in a box. The internally generated Pilot Tone and sensory circuit shall detect any faulty duty
amplifier and would initiate a changeover process.
AX3700 has been optimised for faster fault detection and changeover as compared with AS4000 modules. Pilot tones are generated at
intervals to avoid constant loading of power amplifiers.
Changeover are performed at both input and output sections, making it suitable for application in a matrix system. At any one time, only a
failed duty unit shall be replaced by a standby amp, to avoid overloading.
Cater for 6 duty and 1 standby
Expandable for 1 standby to cater for more than 6 duty amps.
Built in Pilot Tone generator, transmit at intervals and senses at
sequence to protect amplifiers
Overloading protection by allowing only a single take over
Prioritised changeover which higher numbered amplifier shall be
preferred for take over if more than two units are down
Shorter fault detection time from 10 to 25 seconds
Changeover at input and output section simultaneously ; suitable
for matrix system installations
Input link switch ; making connection of sources easier

auto amplifier changeover
AX700 is a platform for standby amplifier to take over failed duty unit in an automated changeover setup. Each unit
caters for 6 duty and 1 standby amplifier but expandable to larger setup with a single standby power pack.
It shall be used with amplifiers with auto fault sensing ( AFS ) such as PX series and whereas normal amplifiers are
used, Amperes AS4000 shall be installed at every duty unit. In such case, we recommend that Amperes AX3700 to
be used instead.
AX700 has protection features that only allow a single takeover to prevent overloading.

application schematic
amplifier changeover & monitoring
speaker line monitoring
technical specifications
LS4600 monitors the condition of speaker line for faults such as ground
leakage, short circuit and open circuit. It employs impedance measurement
method with detection tone, and this would eliminate the use of blocking
capacitors and resistors in the speaker network. Upon detection of flaws, it
would provide fault alert via LED indications and buzzer.
This improved LS4600 ( version 2 ) has wider detection range as compared to
its predecessor, from 10 Ohm to 10 KOhm. Other added features included are
two level of detection setup - basic and advance, circuit fault disconnection
option, improved accuracy and stability.
