P.I.P.-FMX

2 Installation
You may need a Phillips screw-
driver to remove the existing
P.I.P.
module or panel from your ampli-
fier.
CAUTION:
Before connecting this
or any
P.I.P. to your amplifier, it is
important to turn the amplifier’s
level controls down, turn it off and
remove the AC power. Don’t touch
the circuitry. Even though the am-
plifier is off, there could still be
enough energy remaining to
cause electric shock.
1. Turn down the level controls (full
counterclockwise), turn off the
amplifier and unplug it from the
AC power source.
2. Remove the existing
P.I.P. mod-
ule or panel (two screws). For
PIP2 amplifiers, this may involve
disconnecting the
P.I.P. from a
PIP2 input adapter (see Figures
2.2 and 2.3). If a
PIP2 input
adapter is already present, do
not remove the ribbon cables
from the adapter. Otherwise you
will have to reconnect them in
the next step.

Standard P.I.P. Amplifiers: Align
the edges of the
P.I.P.–FMX in
the
P.I.P. card rails and firmly
push the unit in until it is seated
against the mounting bracket
(see Figure 2.1).
PIP2 Amplifiers: (Requires a PIP2
input adaptor, Crown part num-
ber Q43528-1.) Connect the
PIP2 input adapter to the two
input cables of the amplifier (see
Figure 2.2). Notice that the
PIP2
input adapter should be posi-
tioned with the
P.I.P. edge con-
nector on top and facing away
from the amplifier. The 20-pin
cable (A) is connected first, then
the 18-pin cable (B) is con-
nected. Both ribbon cables
should extend below the
PIP2
input adapter.

Next, insert the edge connector
of the
P.I.P.–FMX into the PIP2
input adapter (see Figure 2.3)
and insert the assembly into the
P.I.P. opening in the back of the
amplifier.
