10 iDR10 User Guide
Power up the system
Connect mains power
An IEC mains power cord with moulded plug suitable for
your territory is provided for each power supply module fitted
to the iDR10. Refer to your Allen & Heath agent if the
incorrect type has been provided. The iDR10 uses universal
voltage power supplies that accept world wide mains
sources from 100 to 240V.AC 47 to 63Hz. Make sure the IEC
plugs are pressed fully into their panel sockets and the
cables are clipped into the retaining clips to protect them
from accidental disconnection.
Note: To ensure operator safety, connect only to an
approved and properly grounded mains source. Do not
remove the ground connection in the mains cord.
Note: Read and understand the warnings in the safety
sheet supplied with the iDR10 and printed on the power unit
panel.
Note: It is good practice to connect both the MixRack and
the Surface to the same mains power ring or feed, and to use
a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) as a backup in critical
applications where there is any risk of mains or generator
power being interrupted.
MAINS FUSE - In the event of a fuse failure replace only
with the correct type and rating as indicated on the rear
panel. If the replacement fuse fails again, switch off and refer
to your Allen & Heath service agent.
ON/OFF switch - Press to toggle mains power on or off.
Booting up the system
Note: Always turn the MixRack on first, then the iLive Surface. Powering the
Surface up first may result in failure to connect or loss of EtherSound audio at the
surface. Power off the surface before turning off the MixRack.
1. Connect mains power.
2. Plug in the Control and Audio CAT5 cables.
3. Switch on the MixRack power.
4. Then switch on the Surface power.
While searching for the network connection between the MixRack and Surface after
power up, the NETWORK Lnk/Act indicator flashes at a slow rate for a few seconds.
Once connection is successfully made the indicator flashes at a steady fast rate. The
ES RX and TX indicators should flash at a steady fast rate soon after boot up.
The MixRack and Surface audio outputs are isolated from the connected equipment
during boot up using protection relays to prevent power up thumps. The connector
MUTE indicators light while the outputs are isolated. After around 15 seconds the
relays switch in and audio is presented to the outputs with the settings as they were
the last time the system was powered down.
The iLive system remembers its last settings on power up.
Note: For firmware versions up to 1.2 it is necessary to reboot the surface if the
network connection has become lost or its cable disconnected. To reboot the
surface switch its mains power off then on.
