And yes: The 2-3 seconds were introduced because sometimes you're turning the chicken knob accidently to "Off" instead of "Tuner". These seconds help you to go back to tuner before the unit powers off.
The shut down procedure. What if there is a power outage.

Ok just didn't want to offend
anyone -
I'm wondering more about Apple's auto correction. What do they want to say us with the fact that shitting has a higher priority than shutting?
Sorry for hijacking this thread but I must...

From timo in a different post I just found:
" The flash storage is designed to survive sudden power cuts and therefore has no write cache. Yet, I'd advise to use the chicken head to "Off" position. This way, everything is shut down properly. After a power cut, the boot up time might be prolonged since the flash storage is being checked for consistency. "CK has stated that it is safe to power down with the chicken head or mains. So the only difference I see is the possibility of increased boot time. I've been using mains to shut down both Kempers I've owned and have never seen anything like the boot time the OP experienced. How long does it take to check flash storage consistency? Think I still keep using my Furman.

It's in the wiKPA - sorry, I can't paste it now, I'm on holidays
Better to switch the chickenhead now and then. And no, it's not because of the 3-second latency.

From the wiKPA:
Shutting the unit off
Q: I'd love to connect my Profiler to my power distributor so with one flick of the switch all my units (audio interface, MIDI floor controller, speakers etc) fire up and ready to rock. Except I'm worried about hard-stopping the Profiler but killing the power. It seems when manually powering off unit using the 'chicken head' switch it does a graceful shutdown, and I don't want to inadvertently break anything. Anyone else doing something similar?
Don't worry about the noise. We do a short cut when powering down, but it still might bleed through just a bit. But this will not harm your speakers.

Turning the unit off with the chickenhead is better, since there are indeed some procedures during shutdown. It won't break your unit when you pull the power, but to keep performance up (boot time etc.), you should, at least once a while, shut it down properly with the chickenhead to give the system a chance to shutdown properly. The general recommendation is: use the chickenhead to turn the Profiler off.
timo
The Profiler does have a protection switch protecting the unit from overcurrent. This switch could get activated, if you don't properly use the chickenhead to switch off and the protection will not release before the power supply will be completely empty. You might not notice this if you shut down for more than five minutes.

the duration of the check depends on the previous actions done. you can't tell. I've seen up to 30 seconds in rare (really rare) cases.
Since I wrote the shutdown procedure code, I recommend using the chickenhead whenever possible. -
Hi, you can read in the titile what happened to me , can someone help me?
I've contacted the support and a someone answered very quickly, but the solution he preconized me doesn't work so far
I've tried to reboot it with my USB stick, in browser perform and even profiler mode, the result is the same

thank you for your help

Did you try to boot from USB?
Put the kaos in the root directory of the USB, then power up the Kemper while keeping The < > buttons pressed. -
yep that's what the technician told me to do, no result
-
I think you need to get back to them (support) then.
-
i'm waiting for their answer... i wanted to know if someone had already had the same issue
thank you anyway
-
Try the USB procedure again after disconnecting your Profiler from mains for 10 minutes.
-
Yeah, Ingolf, I'm surprised that didn't work the first time. It's the ultimate "fix-all" as far as non-hardware issues are concerned, I reckon.
As you say, best to try it again IMHO.
-
How did it go @ternerito?
-
the support explained me how to reset the system (I had not the right procedure), I lost all my rigs but rebuilt them immediatly and made a backup!
I was in total panic when the Kemper broke down but everything is fine now, thanks!
-
I tried the USB procedure after disconnecting the Kemper for 30mn but it didn't work.

-
everything is fine now, thanks!
excellent!
