 User Guide   AP4774 

 

The 

iDR-in

 and 

iDR-out

 expanders can be rack mounted or free standing.  There are no 

user controls on the front panel, only the status and assignable LEDs.  Allow a minimum of 
75mm clearance behind the unit for the connectors and cables.  Ensure adequate 
ventilation to the side of and behind the unit. 

It is shipped with its rack ears fitted and its feet removed ready to be mounted in a standard 
19” equipment rack.  1U rack space is required.  For desk mount operation remove the two 
rack ears using a Torx (star head) T10 screwdriver.  Fit the four plastic feet provided by 
pressing them into the underside. 

 

 

Make sure you have read the Important Safety 

Instructions printed earlier.  Also check that your local 
mains supply is compatible with that printed on the rear 
panel of the unit.  Ensure that the correct mains lead with 
moulded plug and IEC connector has been supplied.  For 
your own safety and optimum performance make sure the 
system is correctly grounded. 

 

To avoid any unexpected audible clicks or thumps 

always turn connected power amplifiers down or off before 
switching the iDR or any other signal equipment on or off. 

 

Turning the expander on or off

  

First make sure 

the unit is correctly plugged up and connected to the 

iDR-4(8)

.  

This is described below.  Turn the unit on by pressing the rear 
panel power ON/OFF switch.  The power LED lights up.  The 
link LED lights if the DR-Link connection is established with the 

iDR-4(8)

.  The lock LED lights once the link is established and 

audio is correctly communicated with the 

iDR-4(8)

.  The iDR 

System Manager detects the presence of the expander. 

If one or more of the LEDs do not light then check that the 
cables are correctly fitted and the 

iDR-4(8)

 is functioning 

normally. 

Checking for expanders

   

You can use the front 

panel 

iDR-4(8) 

Setup menus to check if any expanders are 

connected and recognised.  This is useful when the expanders 
are located far away from the main unit.  With the face plate 
removed access menu *8 Diagnostics and scroll to Audio Exp.  
Refer to the 

iDR-4
