Under normal use the amplifier should provide years of trouble-free service. The only user maintenance 
required by the user is to vacuum the front grill periodically.  
In some extreme cases it may be necessary for authorized service personnel to clean the inside of the 
amplifier. These conditions usually occur after prolonged use, e.g. in environments using "cracked- oil" 
smoke machines. 
If you are using your amplifier for heavy duty use i.e. concert touring or industrial music it is 
recommended that you have your amplifier serviced every 3 years, purely as a preventative measure.

These are typical things to check if you think your amplifier is faulty: 

Fault: No output. 

If the output bar-graph is illuminating there is nothing wrong with the amplifier; the likely cause is an 
unsecured Speakon speaker connector. 
Check also that the VHF protection is not activated. If it is, remove possible high frequency oscillations 
from the relevant input. 

Fault: The amplifier goes into thermal protection when driven at low level. 

Check that nothing causes a short circuit at the amplifier's output, e.g. any component in the 
loudspeaker (this can occur when the speaker coil gets warm). 

Fault: The amplifier goes into protection with power indicators off. 

Check that the AC line voltage is within the amplifier’s operating range, 130-265V@ 230V, (65-135V 
@ 115V). Over/under-voltage protection may have occurred. If the amplifier is connected by mistake to 
a 3 phase supply, an internal non-resetable fuse or resistor may have blown. Then return the amplifier to 
your supplier for service. 

Fault: The amplifier does not respond even after checking above items. 

In the unlikely event of on a non-user rectifiable fault, return the amplifier to your supplier or an 
approved service centre.  

Lab.gruppen cannot be held responsible for damage or injury as a result of the top or bottom 
cover being removed.
