Step 5
Replace the jumper board with the desired voltage facing out.
Step 6
Replace the cover and verify that the correct voltage is displayed through the
cover’s window [D].
Step 2 — Back-Panel Connections
Power
The power module [1] (See Figure 9, left; Figure 10, below.) will operate at
any of four levels (100/120/220/240Vac; see Step 1, previous page). Plug the
power cord into the power module.
COM Port
Connect the MPAII’s RS232 COM PORT [4] (See Figure 11, left.) to COM1
of a PC. For pinouts, see Appendix B, Page 29.
BAUD RATE NOTE:
The MPAII’s baud rate as shipped from the factory is 9,600 baud. This is the
correct setting for most applications. However, if your application requires a
different baud rate, refer to Step 5 — Baud Rate on Page 13 to change this
setting.
Logic Output
Connect the DB15 LOGIC OUTPUT [5] (See Figure 12, left.) open collector
to the equipment you need to control. This can be a video camera, a recorder
or some other device you may wish to control through microphone gating.
Speaker
Connect speaker wire between the MPAII’s speaker connectors [6] (See
Figure 13, left.) and the speakers.
PA Output/PA Input
Single MPAII. Connect the output of the audio source to MPAII’s PA INPUT
[8] (Figure 14, left) female XLR connector.
Multiple MPAIIs. When applicable, connect the MPAII’s PA OUTPUT [7]
male XLR connector (See Figure 15, left.) to the PA INPUT [8] (See Figure
14, left.) of the additional MPAII.
Master Output
Connect the MPAII’s MASTER OUTPUT [13] male XLR connector (See
Figure 15, left.) to the input of the peripheral equipment.
