3 Installation

3.1 General Information

Before beginning, please carefully note: 

CAUTION: 

STATIC ELECTRICITY MAY DAMAGE THE IQ-PIP 
USP2 ADAPTER and/or the IQ-PIP USP2 MODULE

.

 

Use caution when handling these units. Carefully 
ground yourself BEFORE touching the modules. Don’t 
unnecessarily touch the connectors, components or 
solder pads on the circuit boards.

3.2 Prepare the Adapter

1.  Set the Amp Scaling Factor DIP Switches.

 The 

Amp Scaling Factor DIP Switches are located 
near the right edge of the circuit board (see 
Figure 2.1). To allow the PIP1 amplifier to be 
scaled for universal operation, these switches 
must be confi gured according to the amplifi er 
type. To determine the proper setting, refer to the  
DIP Switch Settings Key located on the circuit 
board, or to the complete chart in Figure 3.1. 
Turn “ON” the switches in each bank as indicated 
on the DIP Switch Settings Key. An example DIP 
switch setting, as confi gured for CT 70V amplifi er 
operation, is shown in Figure 3.2.

3.3 Prepare the Amplifi er

CAUTION: Make sure the power switch on the 
front of the amplifi er is turned off and the unit is 
disconnected from its power source.
Please Note:

 Some first-generation CT models 

require a different procedure for installing the IQ-
PIP-USP2 Adapter. Also, some newer MA-5000VZ 
amplifi ers are already PIP2-compatible and do not 
require the adapter for use with the IQ-PIP-USP2 
module. Older MA-5000VZ amplifi ers are not PIP2-
compatible, but require a different procedure for 
installing the IQ-PIP-USP2 Adapter. See Section 1.2 
for more information.
Refer to Figure 3.3 for locations of the parts described 
in this procedure.
1.

  Remove the cover of the amplifi er.

 Locate the 

cover of the amplifier closest to the PIP cage 
and remove the ten (10) screws securing the 
cover. This will allow you to gain access to the 
PIP cage. You will need a T15-size Torx driver to 
remove the screws.

2. 

Remove the PIP module.

 Remove any previously 

installed PIP card by unscrewing the two Phillips 
drive screws from the back panel that secure the 
PIP module in the amplifi er. 

3. 

Remove the cable ties.

 Cable ties secure 

both the 16-pin PIP connector cable and the 
5-pin signal connector. Snip each cable tie and 
remove.

4. 

Remove the edge card connector.

 The edge 

card connector is held by two screws which have 
been secured with a strong adhesive. To remove, 
you may need to use channel locks, vise grips 
or adjustable pliers. 

CAUTION: To  ensure  safe 

operation of the amplifier, any parts of this 
assembly that are accidentally dropped in 
the amplifi er must be retrieved.

 Replacement 

mounting assembly pieces are provided in case 
of assembly parts damage. 

5. 

Remove the 16-pin PIP1 connector cable.

 Take 

care when removing this 16-pin ribbon cable to 
ensure no pins are bent.

6. 

Remove the 5-pin signal cable.
