ACQUIRE IMPEDANCE
Line impedance acquisition
Panel. for. acquiring. and. storing. the. impedance. levels. of. the. speaker. unit.
lines..This.information.is.necessary.for.system.initialisation.and.diagnostics.
8.6.1.1 Loudspeaker line impedance acquisition
Foreword
Before.acquiring.the.impedance.values,.make.sure.that.the.following.steps.
have.been.completed:
•. Preliminary.check.of.the.impedance.of.the.lines.using.a.suitable.instrument.
(IMPEDANCE-METER).and.of.the.loading.conditions.
•. Connection.of.the.speaker.unit.lines.as.indicated.in.the.CONNECTIONS.
Section.
The.new.impedance.values.acquired.will.be.stored.automatically.in.the.system.and.shown.on.the.labels.of.each.zone..They.are.in.Ohms.and.refer.
to.both.lines,.A.and.B,.connected.to.the.output.of.each.zone..The.impedance.values.residing.in.the.memory.will.be.compared.by.the.monitoring.
system.with.the.values.measured.subsequently.during.the.diagnostics.routine.
Note:
To.measure.the.impedance.of.the.speaker.unit.lines,.the.monitoring.system.provided.in.the.CR8506-V.uses.an.inaudible.20.kHz.tone..Due.to.the.
inductance.of.the.loudspeaker.coils,.the.impedance.at.20.kHz.may.be.considerably.different.from.that.measured.with.an.impedance.meter,.which.usually.
uses.a.1.kHz.measuring.tone..The.value.acquired.by.the.CR8506-V.is.therefore.usually.indicative.only.as.a.comparative.value.for.diagnostic.purposes..
For.this.reason,.when.calculating.the.power.absorbed.by.the.speaker.unit.lines.for.the.purpose.of.sizing.the.system.it.is.recommended.to.use.the.value.
measured.with.an.impedance.meter.
* The amplifiers of the PMD range use a tone that has a frequency of 30 Hz.

SET TOLERANCE
Setting the line tolerance
If. the. diagnostic. system. detects. a. difference. between. the. impedance.
measured. in. real. time. and. the. value. stored. in. the. system. greater. than.
the.tolerance.that.was.set:.an.“Impedance.Low”.or.“Impedance.Hi”.“Fault.
Warning.Condition”.will.be.activated..For.details.about.signalling.of.failures,.
see.the.“LOUDSPk..LINE.FAULT”.panel..(point.8.4.1.2,.page.42).
8.6.2.1 Setting the tolerance for measuring the lines
Foreword:. The. measurement. tolerance. must. be. set. after. completing.
acquisition.of.the.line.impedance
(see point 8.6.1).
The.default.value.is.30%.
.
•.press.the.numerical.key.corresponding.to.the.line..
.
•.Hold.the.numerical.key.corresponding.to.the.zone.(1-6).down,..
.
..turning.the.+/-.knob.to.choose.the.required.value.
>Valori da 10% a 100%:
tolerance.above.or.below.the.stored.value.
>Test Disabled:
Impedance.check.disabled..Testing.for.short.circuits.and.
GND.faults.will.in.any.case.be.carried.out.
It.is.also.possible.to.disable.the.impedance.test.by.setting.a.tolerance.of.
0%.(Not.Tested).
Press.ESC.to.return.to.the.CONFIGURATION.menu.
Upon.completion.of.the.procedure,.if.appropriate.carry.out.a.MANUAL.
RESET.OF.THE.FAILURE.SIGNALLING.as.described.under.point.
8.5.3.1,

After.selecting.the.“Set>.IMP..TOLERANCE”.option.from.the.CONFIGURATION.
menu,.the.“SET.TOLERANCE”.panel.will.show.the.current.tolerance.settings.
