The Load Results page gives four items of information per output channel:
Confirmation of speaker Fingerprint assigned to the channel. If none has been assigned,
▸
No Model
will
be displayed.
Result of speaker cabinet count; this will either be
▸
OK
or
Wrong
Estimated number of speakers connected to the channel.
▸
Computed voice coil temperature, calculated from manufacturer’s data contained within the loudspeaker
▸
Fingerprint.
If the range of voice coil temperatures displayed is acceptable, pressing the
Accept temp measure
button
starts SpeakerSafe monitoring, setting these temperatures as the starting values. If the user has reason to
believe that the range of displayed voicecoil temperatures contains one or more anomalous results, possibly
as a result of production spreads, the Lake Controller software should be used instead, where a starting
temperature for SpeakerSafe monitoring may be entered manually. See the
Lake Controller User Manual PLM
Addendum
, sections. 5.2.4.3 to 5.4.2.6 for more information.
SpeakerSafe now continuously monitors the status of the load on each power output channel, and the
results displayed at Meter Mode, Temperature View, and also on the Status and History tabs of the Lake
Controller software.
9.13.7.3 Estimated # of Cabinets
When SpeakerSafe is running, this submenu displays the estimated number of cabinets from the Speaker-
Safe’s continuous monitoring of the attached load.
