IQ–P.I.P.-MEM Programmable Input Processor for IQ Systems
4 Installation
Before beginning, please carefully
note:
CAUTION: STATIC ELECTRICITY
MAY DAMAGE THE IQ–P.I.P.-MEM
MODULE. Use caution when
handling the unit. Carefully ground
yourself BEFORE touching the IQ–
P.I.P.-MEM module. For added
safety, touch the outer metal collar
of either Crown Bus connector
(Figure 2.1). This should safely
discharge any static electricity
through the ground plane of the
module. Don’t unnecessarily touch
the components, edge connector or
solder pads on the circuit boards.
NOTE — Amplifier Compatibility
The version of the IQ–P.I.P.-MEM
card you received will var y
depending on whether you
indicated the card will be installed
in a PIP2-compatible amplifier
(such as the Crown Macro-Tech 02
Series or Com-Tech 10 Series
amplifiers). The correct card to
install in a PIP2-compatible
amplifier is the IQ–P.I.P.-MEM-PIP2.
The standard IQ–P.I.P.-MEM should
be ordered for non-PIP2-
compatible amplifiers.
Fig. 4.1 IQ Address Switch (SW1) Location
Should you later wish to change the
amplifier you are using for your IQ–
P.I.P.-MEM installation, it is possible
to alter the card's configuration by
simply removing or installing two
SIPS from the card’s circuit boards
1 .
For instructions on installing or
removing these SIPS, contact
Crown Technical Support.
4.1 Prepare the IQ–P.I.P.-MEM
1. Set the IQ address switch
SW1. By giving each IQ
component a unique ad-
dress, it can be individually
controlled and monitored.
Whenever the IQ System
wants to send a command to
just one IQ component, it
first sends its address and
then the command down the
Crown Bus.
The 8-segment DIP switch
(SW1) shown above is used
to set the IQ address of the
IQ–P.I.P.-MEM. No two IQ
components of the same
type which are connected to
1 IQ–P.I.P.-MEM-PIP2 has SIPS installed; IQ–P.I.P.-MEM has SIPS removed.
