Boulder Amplifiers 1012 DAC Preamplifier - Manual (Page 38)

POWER UP VIA BOULDERLINK
With each component connected together with a Boulderlink cable,
and individually connected to the mains, pressing the 1012’s POWER
pushbutton will initiate the turn on sequence of all components.
The first time a “MASTER” 1012 is powered up, it will search for any
“slave” units connected to it. As the Master finds each slave, the slave’s
ID number will be shown on the display.
If any of the connected slaves are amplifiers, then each time the
master is turned on it will display “WAITING FOR AMPS.” Each
amplifier will be turned on in the order of their Boulderlink ID. To
minimize turn on time, the amplifier’s Boulderlink IDs should be set
to the lowest sequential numbers possible. For example, use 0, 1, and 2
instead of 13 , 14, and 15. An amplifier set to ID 15 will take 47 seconds
to turn on.
A 1012 set to “SLAVE,” will display “THIS UNIT SLAVE #20.”
If there is no component set to “MASTER,” the 1012 will display
“THERE IS NO MASTER!” In this case, the 1012’s MASTER/SLAVE
switch should be set to MASTER. It may take up to 30 seconds for the
1012 to recognize the switch change.
