IQ-PIP-USP3/CN
Quick Install Procedure
This procedure is provided for those who would like to install the IQ-PIP-USP3/CN in the shortest
time possible and are already familiar with Crown’s IQ System and TCP/IQ. Less experienced
installers or those wishing a full explanation of the installation procedure are encouraged to go to
Section 3 where the full installation procedure is described.
Prepare the amplifier:
1. Turn down the level controls of the amplifier and turn off the amplifier.
2. Unplug the power cord from the AC mains.
3. Remove the existing PIP or cover from the amplifier back panel (two screws).
Install the IQ-PIP-USP3/CN into the amplifier:
4. Carefully ground yourself to the chassis of the amplifier before installing the IQ-PIP-USP3/
CN. It is a good idea to maintain ground contact between yourself and the amplifier while
inserting the module into the amplifier in the next step.
5. Turn the PIP upside down so the ribbon cable connectors located along the back edge on the
underside of the module can be clearly seen (See Figure 3.1). Attach the ribbon cables from
the amplifier to the ribbon-cable connectors. The 20 pin cable (A) should connect to the con-
nector closest to the corner and the 18 pin cable (B) should connect to the other connector.
Important:
Be careful when attaching the ribbon cable to the connector. Applying pressure to an
improperly seated connector could cause the keying tabs, which ensure proper pin alignment, to
break. Connecting the ribbon cables with improper pin alignment will likely result in damage to
the PIP.
6. With both cables firmly attached, turn the IQ-PIP-USP3/CN back to an upright position. Verify
that the cables run untwisted between the amplifier and the PIP. Insert the PIP into the ampli-
fier while taking care not to crimp, pinch or stretch the ribbon cables.
7. Tighten the two PIP mounting screws until it is secured to the amplifier back panel, making
sure the supplied star-washers penetrate the powder-coat finish of the PIP panel for a good
ground connection.
Install the wiring:
8. Connect the IQ-PIP-USP3/CN to the Ethernet network used for TCP/IQ control. Each PIP must
connect to its own port on a 100 Megabit Ethernet Switch with a standard straight CAT 5 net-
work cable. (See Section 3.4 if more information is needed.)
9. Connect the audio signal wiring to the IQ-PIP-USP3/CN. (See Section 5.1 for more informa-
tion.)
10. Connect the amplifier back to the AC mains and reset the back panel input attenuators to the
proper levels.
