7 Advanced Operation

Low Limit Load Errors: 

This screen lets you view low-load errors without 

using the control software. A 

low limit load error

 occurs if the load 

impedance falls below the value set with the 

Low Limit spin control

 on the 

Amplifier Settings page in System Architect.

 When an error occurs, the count displayed in this screen is incremented, and 
the operating time since the error is displayed. 

To clear this screen, press 

Next

 and the encoder wheel to select a channel 

icon. 

NOTE: You must use System Architect to enable error reporting and set its 
limits.

High Limit Load Errors: 

This screen lets you view high limit load errors 

without using the control software. A 

high limit load error

 occurs if the load 

impedance rises above the value set with the 

High Limit  

value

 on the 

software Control Panel.

When an error occurs, the count displayed in this screen is incre mented, and 
the operating time since the error is displayed. 

To clear this screen, press 

Next

 and the encoder wheel to select a channel 

icon. 

NOTE: You must use System Architect to enable error report ing and set its 
limits.

Fan  Errors: 

When a fan error occurs, the count displayed in this screen is 

incre mented, and the operating time since the error is displayed.

Clear All Error Logs: 

In this screen, you can press and hold the encoder 

wheel to clear all the error logs.

7.2.4 NETWORKING MENU

This menu has screens for setting up audio network parameters. Push an 
Encoder knob to see the selections in the Networking Menu.

Network Info: 

This screen displays information about the audio network: IP 

address, HiQnet address, Subnet and MAC address. Section 12 of this manual 
explains these terms.

Manufacturing Info: 

This screen displays information about your I-Tech HD 

amplifier: model number, firmware version, serial number, and amplifier date 
code.

HiQnet Node Address: 

This screen lets you set the HiQnet address of this 

amplifier (a node in the network). Press the encoder wheel, then turn an 
Encoder knob to set the address, then press the knob to save your setting.

7 Advanced Operation

Line Voltage Errors: 

This screen lets you view line-voltage errors without 

using the control software. A 

line voltage error 

occurs if the line voltage falls 

outside the values set with the 

High/Low Limits slider

 on the Line Voltage 

Page of the Control Panel.

When an error occurs, the count displayed in this screen is incre mented, and 
the operating time since the error is displayed. The “Low” and “High” 
indicators show whether the line voltage was below or above the line-voltage 
limits. 

To clear this screen, press 

Next

 and the encoder wheel to select a channel 

icon.  (The display will prompt you to confirm your choice by pressing and 
holding the Encoder.)

NOTE: You must use System Architect to enable error report ing and set its 
limits.

SLM (Sweep Load Monitoring) Errors:  

This screen lets you view SLM 

errors without using the control software.
When an error occurs, the count displayed in this screen is incremented, and 
the operating time since the error is displayed. 
To clear this screen, press and release an Encoder. The display will prompt you 
to confirm your choice by pressing and holding the Encoder.
NOTE: You must use System Architect to enable error reporting and set its 
limits.

DHCP:

 Turn an Encoder knob to turn DHCP on or off, then press the knob to 

confirm your selection. With DHCP enabled, the IP address of the amplifier 
might change at power-up. See System Architect Help files  for more 
information on DHCP.

IP Address:

 You set the IP address of the amplifier here. See Section 12 for 

more information on IP Address. This function is disabled when DHCP is 
enabled.
1. Tap the Encoder knob icon to access the left three digits, then turn the knob 
to set the number. 
2. Tap the Encoder again to access the middle three digits, then turn the knob 
to set the number. 
3. Tap the Encoder again to access the next digit to the right, then turn the knob 
to set the number.  
4. Tap the Encoder again to access the right-most digit, then turn the knob to 
set the number. 
5. Tap the Encoder again to save the IP address.

Subnet Mask:

 You set the Subnet Mask of the amplifier here.  See Section 12 

for more information on Subnet Mask. This function is disabled when DHCP is 
enabled.
1. Tap the Encoder knob icon to access the left three digits, then turn the knob 
to set the number. 
2. Tap the Encoder again to access the middle three digits, then turn the knob 
to set the number. 
3. Tap the Encoder again to access the next digit to the right, then turn the knob 
to set the number.  
4.Tap the Encoder again to access the right-most digit, then turn the knob to 
set the number. 
Tap the Encoder again to save the Subnet Mask.
