  Dolby Lake Controller User Manual PLM Edition Addendum

 

 

5.4.6 Loadsmart results

The Load Results page reports the findings of the 

verification  procedure  and  and  also  contains  the 

function controls for SpeakerSafe. Results for each 

of the PLM power outputs are displayed together 

with a summary in the ‘All’ column.

5.4.6.1 Load Type verification

The results shown in the Load type row of the table 

will be one of the following:

Correct

 

 – The measured load characteristics 

closely match the values predicted from the 

load library data in combination with the total 

resistance calculation. The load is assumed to 

be of the correct type.

Uncertain

 

 – The measured load characteristics 

exhibit a degree of variance from the predicted 

values. A warning will become active on the 

channel.

Wrong

 

 – The measured characteristics differ 

widely from the predicted values; it is assumed 

that the load has malfunctioned or is of the wrong 

type. A Fault is issued and the channel remains 

muted. A successful re verification or a power 

cycle will clear the fault and the mute state.

No model

 

 – Fingerprint data is missing from the 

Module file selected.

aborted

 

 – A power output channel was in a 

protective  state  during  the  load  verification 

process (e.g. temperature fault).

The All column summarizes the result of the 

Number  of  Cabinets  verification.  It 

summarizes the result from each power 

output channel in the order Verified/Wrong. 

For example 2/1 mans that two channels were found 

to have the same number of cabinets as configured 

and one did not.

If the Load Type verification fails, the power 

output channel will be muted to prevent 

damaging the speaker. A subsequent Correct 

or Uncertain verification, or a power cycle 

of the unit, will resolve the muted state. 

5.4.6.2 Cabinet Count Verification

The results in the Number of cabinets table row 

will be one of the following:

Verified

 

  –  The  measured  load  impedance 

indicates that the number of cabinets connected 

to this power output matches that configured.

Wrong

 

 – The measured load impedance indicates 

either that the number of cabinets connected to 

this power output channel is incorrect.

If  the  correct  number  of  cabinets  were 

entered but the results returned are wrong 

then it is still possible to force the settings
