FAULT RELAY/FAULT LED
Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) relay contacts on the Master Module of a Gen 5 Array can be used to report a failure to an external
monitoring system, triggering a failure indication on a hard-wired monitoring device. An isolated relay will change state to report any of the
following three fault conditions:
•
Amplifier temperature is above 185º F (85º C) or below 10º F (–12º C)
•
Voltage is incorrect, indicating a DC power supply failure
•
Amplifier processing error
Any of the above faults will cause the relay to switch. The installer can choose to monitor for a closed circuit by wiring the external monitoring
system to the wiper and NO contact, a fault will close the circuit.
Conversely, if the external monitoring circuit is in the form of a fixed loop, wiring to the wiper and the NC contact, a fault will open the circuit.
Note: The default state of the Fault Relay can be changed in RHAON II Preferences.
The Fault Relay contacts handle up to .5 Amp @ 28 Volts AC or DC. The detection circuit functions with or without the array being connected to a
RHAON II network.
In addition to the relay action, there are Fault LED indicators on the rear panel of Gen 5 Master and Aux Modules. This LED will illuminate when
that Module is in a fault condition.
SERVICING AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Iconyx Gen 5 steerable column arrays contain no user-serviceable parts. All service should be referred to qualified service personnel.
An Iconyx array may be serviced in the field by qualified personnel without being removed from its mounting position. The transducers can be
replaced from the front of the column by removing the grille to expose the transducers and their mounting screws. The digital amplifier/DSP and
associated power supply that are the heart of each module is one single assembly that can easily be taken out and replaced from the rear.
General
Your Iconyx Gen 5 array was factory tested before it left our factory and barring shipping damage should be in perfect operating condition.
Nevertheless, it is always a good idea to run a quick check on each module/array before taking it out to the job site and installing it.
If you should run into a problem at the site, it’s then more likely that the problem is in the network or the system wiring and not in the
loudspeakers.
Preset 00 is a testing preset with all channels set to “Flat” allowing a technician to check every channel in the unit without any beamsteering or
EQ. Preset 00 also sets Analog 1 as the input so it’s a simple matter to connect a line level analog signal to an array and check its performance.
Hum & Noise
The most common sources of system hum are the program source or an improper or poor ground on an audio signal line. Check the program
source to make sure the hum isn’t originating there. Carefully check all the audio connections to make sure they are properly made. Unplug the
input cable at the input to the loudspeaker, if the noise stops, the loudspeaker is reproducing a noise generated elsewhere. Unplugging the cable
at the mixing console or system DSP does not achieve the necessary troubleshooting step, as the cable run is still suspect.
