5.1 Initializing an Amplifier Control Block
The control block for each IQ P.I.P. is shown below in Figure 5.2. They are all very similar.
The first step in initializing an amplifier control block is to set the IQ P.I.P. model, IQ address and Crown Bus loop
number. This is normally done automatically during a roll call. However, you can set some of these parameters
manually if you need to configure a system off-line.
IQ P.I.P. Model: The model can be manually configured for off-line IQ2 P.I.P.s only. (Legacy IQ P.I.P.s simply
display the word “Amplifier” in place of the IQ P.I.P. model name.) To manually configure the model, move the
cursor over the model name and press the “Space Bar or
E. A list of available models will appear as shown
in Figure 5.3. Select the appropriate model and press the “Space Bar” again.
IQ Address & Crown Bus Loop: These two parameters can be manually entered for any model IQ P.I.P.
The IQ address number you enter must match the physical IQ address switch setting on the IQ P.I.P. The Crown
Bus loop number must match the physical loop to which the IQ P.I.P. is wired.
On Line: The phrase “On Line” will appear in the upper right corner of the information area when an IQ P.I.P.
is actively connected to and in communication with the IQ System.
Model: The amplifier model must be manually selected from a list for legacy IQ P.I.P.s. (The model name cannot
be typed in by hand.) It is automatically entered for IQ2 P.I.P.s that are installed into PIP2 compatible amplifiers and
manually selected from a list for IQ2 P.I.P.s that are installed in legacy P.I.P. amplifiers. To select an amplifier from
