User manual ELECTRO-VOICE RCM-26

[. . . ] The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficent magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. install in accordance with the manufacture's instructions. Do not install near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or the grounding-type plug. [. . . ] Carefully open the packaging and take out the RCM-26 module. Make sure that the warranty certificate is correctly filled in, for only a completed warranty card entitles you to file any possible claims. Keep the original invoice that states the purchase/delivery date together with the warranty certificate at a safe place. The warranty period for the module is 36 months, starting from the date when receiving the product from the dealer. Switch the power amp's power off and pull the mains plug 2. Remove the cover panel from the rear panel (4 screws) 3. Insert the RCM-26 module in the slot and lock it in place on the rear panel using the 4 screws (see illustration 1. The RCM-26 is shipped from the factory in the recommended "Pre Fader" mode, so the input level controllers on the front of the amplifier are taken out of operation by installation of the RCM-26. If the input level controller are to be usable with a RCM-26 installed, the RCM-26 must be converted to "Post Fader" mode. Only the jumper settings shown are allowed. 2: Pre Fader mode (left) and Post Fader mode (right) Note: On RCM-26 Remote Control Modules built in 2006 there are no jumpers at JP1 to JP5, instead the conversion has to be done via , , cut&solder". The strip conducter of the top and middle contact of each JP1 to JP5 has to be cut. A link has to be soldered between the middle and lower contact of each JP1 to JP5. Configuring and controlling a remote amplifier with a RCM-26 module installed is possible through the use of IRIS-NetTM (Intelligent Remote & Integrated Supervision) PC-software. IRIS-NetTM allows programming the RCM-26 module's complete configuration while the computer is off-line. All instructions on how to configure, operate and monitor all RCM-26 functions are included in the IRIS-NetTM help files. The following illustrations show an example of a power amplifier system in IRISNetTM and the DSP flow chart of a RCM-26 The following illustration shows the pin-assignment of the input socket. The digital input signal gets internally buffered and preprocessed (level matching / slew rate) before it is output via the OUTconnector. This allows fairly simple wiring between modules, without the need for AES/EBU distribution amps as they are usually used. Power outage), connects the AES/EBU IN signal through to AES/EBU OUT. [. . . ] The control outputs are configurable via IRIS-NetTM and are used to signal internal states. Communication is realized through the use of ASCII-protocol. Implementation of this protocol is rather simple. Programming notes and a complete protocol description are included in the IRIS-NetTM documentation. [. . . ]
