Q: The fan in the Power Stand comes on when I strike a chord on my Guitar. Is this normal? A: Your unit is functioning properly - no problem.


The fan in the Model II Power Stand comes on when the input signal level goes over a certain limit, regardless of what the internal temperature of the unit is. That way, the unit never gets too hot to where a fan needs to be on constantly.

There is a Firmware Update that addresses the fan behaviour. See: [[L1® Model II Power Stand Firmware Updates#Fan_Behavior|Model II Power Stand Firmware Updates - Fan behaviour]]
Starting in units manufactured in late 2014 and later,  the fan now runs quietly, constantly, while the Power Stand is powered on. This too is completely normal.

:Over a year ago we implemented an improvement which allowed the system to better withstand extreme low voltage conditions caused by brown outs etc. Units produced prior to this change were quiter during the power down sequence.
