PLM Series Operation Manual
The Load Results page gives four items of information
per output channel:
Confirmation of speaker fingerprint assigned
▸
to the channel. If none has been assigned,
No
Model
will be displayed.
Result of speaker cabinet count; this will either
▸
be
Ok
or
Wrong
Estimated number of speakers connected to
▸
the channel.
Computed voice coil temperature, calculated
▸
from manufacturer’s data contained within the
loudspeaker fingerprint.
If the range of voice coil temperatures displayed
is acceptable, pressing the
Accept temp measure
button starts SpeakerSafe monitoring, setting these
temperatures as the starting values. If the user has
reason to believe that the range of displayed voicecoil
temperatures contains one or more anomalous results,
possibly as a result of production spreads, the DLC
PLM Edition software should be used instead, where
a starting temperature for SpeakerSafe monitoring
may be entered manually. See the
DLC User Manual
PLM Edition Addendum
, sections. 5.2.4.3 to 5.4.2.6
for more information.
SpeakerSafe now continuously monitors the status
of the load on each power output channel, and the
results displayed at Meter Mode, Temperature View,
and also on the Status and History tabs of the DLC
PLM Edition software.

9.12.7.1 Configure of cabinets in parallel
This option (soft button 2) allows the user to enter
the number of speaker cabinets connected to each
PLM output channel. Each channel may be selected
in turn and the rotary control used to enter a value
of 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4. This figure is used by the PLM’s
LoadSmart load verification and SpeakerSafe real-
time performance monitoring routines to confirm
the correct connection and status of the speakers
connected to each PLM channel.
