Backup Request
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.
