7. The status indicator
To indicate the current system status an indicator light is used. The indicator is located on the front
of the Control Hub as well as on the remote control. Its color is indicating the current input source
and its intensity behavior the system status. The indicator color matches the color marking of the
corresponding input on the back of the Control Hub (see picture at the last page).
7.1 Flashing modes of the status indicator
To indicate special events the indicator uses different flashing modes.
•
Dark
– stand by
•
Steady
– normal operation
•
Fade up from steady
– increasing volume
•
Fade down from steady
– decreasing volume
•
Green light slowly flashing – (Optional) Control Hub is trying to connect to wireless
network. This may take a few minutes, please be patient.
•
White light slowly flashing – (Optional) System is being configured for a new wireless
connection (by WPS or USB)
•
Red light hard flashing
– short circuit on speaker output terminal, see section
“short
circuit protection”
.
8. Short circuit protection
To protect from shorted or faulty wired speaker cables the system is equipped with Actiline® short
circuit protection system. If a problem is detected, the power supply to the speakers is
automatically turned off and the status indicator starts flashing red. To recover from short circuit
mode you may go through the following steps:
1.
Turn the system off using the remote control on/off button.
2.
Make sure there are no shorted wires at the Control Hub terminal nor any of the speaker
terminals and that all connected speakers are Actiline® compatible.
3.
Turn the system on using the remote control on/off button.
If system is still detecting short circuit disconnect all speakers from the Control Hub and re-connect
them one by one, following steps 1-3 above for each added speaker.
9. Automatic power save and stand-by mode
To save power, the system will sleep after 15 minutes without input signal on the selected source.
This is indicated by slow LED flashing every 5 seconds. Upon signal detection it will automatically
turn the power on again. This feature is also useful for installations where the Opalum remote
control is not needed, like when the speakers are part of a larger centrally controlled system or
when used as a pure wireless networked solution.
Note:
This is not a full stand-by mode since the wireless network is still connected.
After 2 hours without signal input the system will go into true stand-by unless the volume setting
on the Opalum system is maximum. That setting is used where the system should always wake on
a signal input regardless of how long it has been in power save mode.
