2-8 Connecting Analog Input Models
The Bright-VU accepts balanced or unbalanced in-
puts via rear panel XLR connectors on analog input
only models or 3-circuit 1/4" phone plugs on dual input
models. The connectors are wired as follows:
Balanced Connection
Pin 1 or Sleeve
Shield
Pin 2 or Tip
Pin 3 or Ring
Signal -
Unbalanced Connection
Pin 1 or Sleeve
Shield
Pin 2 or Tip
Center Hot
Pin 3 or Ring
Connect to pin 1
The Bright-VU shield pins are bonded directly to
the chassis at the connector and do not share any
ground paths with the internal circuitry. This allows ca-
ble shields to be connected at both ends without caus-
ing hum problems.
The zero reference level for each input can be set
anywhere between -10 dBu and +20 dBu by adjusting
the multiturn gain control located adjacent to each in-
put connector. A small flat blade screwdriver is
needed to adjust the gain.
2-9 Alarm Output
Bright-VU units ordered with the alarm option have
a SPST relay closure that can be triggered by several
selectable fault conditions. The relay contacts are
brought out on the rear panel terminal block.
The alarm function is controlled by an eight position
DIP switch located on the DSP control card inside the
enclosure. To gain access to the DIP switch you must
remove the meter cover plate. The following tables de-
scribe the alarm parameters available.
