This article describe the Backup Request feature. This optional function may be used together with the Backup Amplifier function.
Backup Request is used to configure a control input on a backup amplifier to be able to replace the functions of the chosen failed amplifier. The Backup Request is a feature to ensure an even faster switch-over if the defective amplifier has a power issue.

Assigning Backup Request to a Control Input
To assign the Backup Request to a control input on a backup amplifier:
- In Components view, open Devices > Input Actions
- In System, identify the backup amplifier to be used, and expand to Amplifier > Control Inputs > CI_x
- Drag Backup Request to Control Input > 'CI_x'
- Assign the Backup Request by selecting the amplifier to back up in the Amplifier field
- Click Done
In this example, the backup amplifier will receive a Backup Request from ENA2200 1.
Parameter Details
Amplifier
The amplifier on which this Control Input will trigger the backup functionality.
Configuration on Amplifier that is being Backed Up
You also need to configure a control output on the amplifier that is being backed up:
- In System select the desired amplifier.
- Select the Control Output you want to use
- Set the Control Output to Normally Closed
Wire the Control Output on the amplifier to the Control Input on the backup amplifier.
If the amplifier loses power, the Control Output will open and the Backup Request functionality will trigger.
