ACHERON DESIGNER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
21
Win k /Activity LED (Green)
The green Wink/Activity LED indicates the status of the
loudspeaker:
■ During startup, the LED blinks 10 times.
■ If the loudspeaker has not yet been commissioned, the
LED is not lit after startup.
■ If the loudspeaker has been successfully commissioned,
the LED flashes continuously and flashes more rapidly
with increased data activity.
■ When the loudspeaker is winked, either by clicking the
Wink button in the RMS software or by pressing the
Identify button on the RMS user panel, the LED is solid
green.
TIP: The Wink function is useful for identifying
the physical loudspeaker corresponding to a
loudspeaker icon in the RMS software.
Remote Mute Switch
The recessed Remote Mute switch on the Acheron Designer
RMS module determines whether the RMS software can
control muting and soloing of the loudspeaker. The
Acheron Designer ships from the factory with the switch
enabled.
■
Disable: When the Remote Mute switch is set to Disable
(to the left), the loudspeaker cannot be muted and
soloed from the RMS software.
■
Enable: When the Remote Mute switch is set to Enable
(to the right), the loudspeaker can be muted and soloed
from the RMS software.
NOTE: The RMS software also allows you to
disable Mute and Solo functions to eliminate
any possibility of accidentally muting loudspeakers.
For more information, refer to the
RMS User Guide .
RMS Networ k Connectors
The two Weidmuller connectors transfer data to and from
the RMS network. Two connectors are provided to allow for
easy connection of multiple (daisy-chained) loudspeakers
on the network. Included with each RMS-equipped loud-
speaker are RMS cable connectors and mounting blocks for
constructing RMS cables. The RMS blocks allow the cables
to be securely attached to the RMS module with screws.
NEURON ID FOR THE RMS MODULE
Each Acheron Designer RMS module has a unique 12-char-
acter Neuron ID (NID) that identifies the loudspeaker on the
network. When commissioning the loudspeaker, the NID
must either by entered manually or retrieved from the loud-
speaker by pressing its Identify button. The NID for the RMS
module is located on the user panel above the orange RMS
Network connectors (see Figure 5 on page 20).
RESETTING THE RMS MODULE
You can use the Identify button to reset the Acheron Designer
RMS module when powering up the loudspeaker. This will
cause the module to be decommissioned from the network.
To reset the Acheron Designer RMS module:
1. Disconnect the loudspeaker’s power cord.
2. Press and hold the Identify button.
3. While continuing to hold down the Identify button, recon-
nect the power cord.
4. After the Wink/Activity LED blinks on and off, release the
Identify button. The RMS module is reset and the loud-
speaker is decommissioned.
