IQ–P.I.P.–SLM Programmable Input Processor with Load Monitoring for IQ Systems
Reference Manual
6 Specifications
General
Internal Controls:
An 8-segment DIP switch is used to
set the IQ address (decimal range: 1–250). A Reset
switch, accessible with a straightened paper clip
through the
P.I.P. panel, resets all settings (except the
amplifier initialization data) to the “user defaults” if it is
pressed for less than 2 seconds or the factory defaults
if it is pressed for more than 2 seconds.
Connectors:
Crown Bus Input/Output: A 4-pin
removable Eurostyle barrier block connector; a mating
plug is shipped with the product. Audio Input: A 3-pin
removable Eurostyle barrier block connector for each
channel; mating plugs are shipped with the product.
AUX: A 3-pin removable Eurostyle barrier block
connector; a mating plug is shipped the with product.
Indicators
: A yellow DATA LED flashes when a valid
IQ command is received from the
IQ System via the
Crown Bus. Depending upon the firmware version in
your unit, the DATA indicator can be forced on to facili-
tate rapid troubleshooting of Crown Bus wiring.
Auxiliary Feature:
+15 VDC is supplied across pins 1
(ground) and 3 (+) of the AUX connector when turned
on by the
IQ System software.
Power Requirements:
When installed into a Crown
P.I.P.-compatible amplifier, the unit receives ±24 VDC.
Crown Bus Data Communication
Protection:
If communication is lost, the unit will
continue to function with the last commands received.
Data Rate:
38.4 K BAUD.
Data Format:
Serial, binary, asynchronous; 1 start bit;
1 stop bit; 8 data bits; no parity.
Crown Bus Interface Type:
Optically isolated 20
milliamp serial loop.
Operation:
Half duplex.
Intelligence:
8-bit microprocessor with 12 K byte
control program.
Transmission Distance:
Variable from 200 to 3,000
feet (61 to 914 m), depending upon wire capacitance.
Typically 1,000 feet (305 m) using shielded twisted-pair
wire, #26 AWG or larger. Can be extended with an
IQ
Repeater.
