I only know because when I was ordering the boards from Tom he explained that regardless of the configuration, if you are using the 686 boards you must have a Guardian for each channel

One of the guys on DIYAudio did a great build guide:

What did you guys use for a soft start?
My Toroidy transformers have shipped (2 x 24V, 400VA) so I need to sort out a good soft start so I can test the Power 686 boards.

I used Tom's V1 ISS board - guess that isn't an option anymore as he's replacement it with a V2. Pretty much the same features though other than selectable soft start delay and emergency shutdown for Hypex and Purify boards.

No it doesn't but the 3886 power chip has a lot of built in protection.
What are you using as a soft start Alan?
