PLA DL210NET Digi-Loop™ DSP Induction Loop Amplifier

Rack Installation
1. Install into a 19” rack using 10-32 rack screws.
2. Leave 1U rack space above for ventilation.
3. A surge protector or power conditioner is highly recommended.
4. Use a grounded outlet.
5. Connect all input/outputs before applying power.
6. Plug in the power cord and turn on the unit.
USB Cable Wiring
A standard USB cable (USB Male A to Male B) can be used to connect a computer (such as a laptop) to the Loop Amplifier directly for initial
configuration. No drivers are necessary, simply plug-in a USB cable, open the PC App, specify USB connection, and the PC App can be
used to change settings on the amplifier.
Note: Firmware upgrades can only be done through the USB connection.
Ethernet Cable Wiring
If connecting directly from a Computer to the Loop Amplifier, an Ethernet
Crossover Cable
must be used.
If connecting through a network, a standard ethernet cable must be used to connect the Amplifier to the network, and a standard ethernet
cable must be used to connect the Computer to the network.
If a third party controller will be used (Crestron, AMX, Extron, etc.), a
standard
ethernet cable can be used to connect the amplifier and
controller to the network.
Note: A standard ethernet cable is terminated with either T568A pinout on both ends, or T568B pinout on both ends. A crossover cable
has T568A pinout on one end, and T568B pinout on the other end. See the internet for more information on terminating ethernet cables.
RS-232 Cable Wiring
This is required if the third-party controller (Crestron, AMX, Extron, etc.) only has RS-232 control available (no ethernet).The diagram below
is for making a custom RS-232 control cable. The only pins required are 2, 3 and 5. Pins 2 and 3 are reversed from one end to the
other - so that “receive” on connector 1 is connected to “transmit” on connector 2, and “transmit” on connector 1 is connected to “receive”
on connector 2. This circuit facilitates 2-way communication between the third-party controller (Crestron, AMX, Extron, etc.) and the PLA
DL210. See Figure D.
