Operating Manual - PROTEA SYSTEM II 3.24CL Crossover / System Processor
4.7d Mute
The Protea 3.24CL allows the user to mute both inputs and outputs. When muted, an input or output's red Mute
LED is lit. When an input or output is selected, pressing the Mute button will toggle its mute function. To quickly mute
all outputs, escape out to the top level preset display, then press the Mute button, pressing it a second time to confirm.
Additionally, when recalling a new preset number to the 3.24CL, the LCD display prompts the user to mute all outputs, as
a new preset can introduce dramatic changes to the system configuration.
4.7e Util
The Protea 3.24CL utilities in-
clude a security section for password
protected lockout, and a dBu/VU meter
preference select.
Security
There are four security modes in the 3.24CL. Off (default), Preset Lock, Parameter Lock, and Full Lockout offer
varying degrees of protection to the 3.24CL system.
1.) Off (none) allows full access to all controls.
2.) Preset Lock allows full access while disabling the save function.
3.) Parameter Lock allows the user to recall different presets, but allows no changes other than mute.
4.) Full Lockout allows absolutely no local changes, but allows viewing of current settings.
To access the security menu, first press the Util button, then select the Security display line on the LCD. Use the
data wheel to select from the four security levels. If the unit is brand new and has never had a security code, or has had
a factory reset, a four digit code must first be entered before changing security status. Use the output select buttons 1-
6 (recommended) or the data wheel (0-9) to enter a new code, then press Enter on the LCD. The LCD then prompts the user
to either change the code to a new four digit number, or change the Security status to one of the other three options.
The only way to fully remove a security code once it has been entered is with a factory reset. This is done by
turning the power on while pressing Esc and Recall together, returning all settings,
including user defined presets,
to
their original factory settings.
Note: In the event the four digit security code is forgotten, turn the 3.24CL on while
pressing both the Esc and Util buttons.
dBu/VU Meter Select
The input and output meter scale is factory set so that a green LED flashing at 0 indicates a signal level of 0dBu,
or 0.775Vrms. To change this to a VU scale, where 0VU = +4dBu (1.228Vrms), select the <Ref:> option in the Util menu to
VU.
4.7f Factory Reset
To clear all preset names, reset all controls to their original factory settings, and delete the password from
memory, Factory Reset may be performed by
simultaneously pressing and holding Esc and Recall
while switching power
on.
Caution: doing this will erase all user-defined presets!
