IQ P.I.P.–SMT
Quick Install Procedure
This procedure is provided for those who are already familiar with Crown’s IQ System
and who would like to install the IQ–P.I.P.–SMT in the shortest time possible. Less
experienced installers or those wishing a full explanation of the installation procedure
are encouraged to go to Section 4 where the full installation procedure is described.
Prepare the IQ–P.I.P.–SMT:
1. Set the IQ address switch SW1 (see Figures 4.1 and 4.2) on the IQ–P.I.P.–
SMT to an unused IQ address. (Tip: Record the IQ address on the small
blank label that is provided on lower right corner of the
P.I.P. panel.)
2. Set the input switches S1 and S2 (see Figures 4.3 and 4.4) for the desired
input gain and, if a microphone input is desired, phantom power. (Tip:
Record the input setting on the small blank label that is provided on lower
right corner of the
P.I.P. panel.)
3. Set jumpers JP4 and JP5. Set both jumper JP4 and JP5 to the “OUT” posi-
tion if either a PIP2-compatible amplifier (such as the CT-10 Series or Macro-
Tech 5000VZ) will be used (Figure 2.1 and 4.9). Both JP4 and JP5 should be
set to the “IN” position for all other amplifiers.
Prepare the amplifier:
5. Turn down the level controls of the amplifier and turn off the amplifier.
6. Unplug the power cord of the amplifier from the AC mains.
7. Remove the existing
P.I.P. or cover panel from the amplifier back panel (two
screws).
8. Set the amplifier input sensitivity switch to 0.775 V. (See the Reference or
Owner’s Manual of the amplifier.)
Install the IQ–P.I.P.–SMT into the amplifier:
9. Carefully ground yourself to the chassis of the amplifier before installing the
IQ–P.I.P.–SMT. It is a good idea to maintain ground contact between yourself
and the amplifier while inserting the module into the
P.I.P. card rails in the
next step.
10. Install the IQ–P.I.P.–SMT into the amplifier:
Standard P.I.P. Amplifiers: Align the edges of the IQ–P.I.P.–SMT in the P.I.P.
card rails and firmly push the unit in until it is seated against the mounting
bracket (Figure 4.6).
PIP2 Compatible Amplifiers: Connect the PIP2 input adapter to the amplifier
input cables. Plug the
IQ–P.I.P.–SMT into the PIP2 input adapter and insert
the assembly into the P.I.P. opening in the back of the amplifier (Figure 4.7
and 4.8).
11. Tighten the two P.I.P. mounting screws until it is secured to the amplifier
back panel.
Install the wiring:
12. Connect the IQ–P.I.P.–SMT to the IQ System via the Crown Bus (see Section
4.6 if more information is needed).
13. Connect the audio signal wiring to the IQ–P.I.P.–SMT (see Section 4.7 if more
information is needed).
14. Connect the amplifier back to the AC receptacle.
Adjust the levels and scale factors:
15. Turn the level controls of the amplifier to their full setting. Use the software-
controlled input attenuators on the IQ–P.I.P.–SMT to adjust the input levels
down.
16. Standard P.I.P. Amplifiers: Manually configure the scaling factors of the IQ–
P.I.P.–SMT with appropriate IQ System software.
PIP2 Compatible Amplifiers: The scaling factors will be automatically set.
