Operation
Multi-Drop Functionality can control up to 10 units of the same type (types cannot be mixed) or a
Single Switch System (1:1, 1:1 Power Combined, 1:2). After installation, the first step is to assign
amplifier addresses.
3.3.3.1 Amplifier Address Assignment
The Remote Panel has a built-in utility to easily change the address (from 48 to 111) of the units to
be connected together in any of the above modes. In order to assign an address, only one unit can
be operational at a time. All other amplifiers
must be powered off
.
