P.I.P.-RPA
2. Remove the existing PIP module
or panel (two screws). For PIP2
amplifiers, this may involve
disconnecting the PIP from a PIP2
input adapter (see Figures 3.10
and 3.11). If a PIP2 input adapter is
already present, do not remove
the ribbon cables from the
adapter. Otherwise you will have
to reconnect them in the next step.
3.
Standard PIP Amplifiers : Align the
edges of the P.I.P.–RPA in the PIP
card rails and firmly push the unit
in until it is seated against the
mounting bracket (see Figure 3.9).
PIP2 Amplifiers: (Requires a PIP2
input adaptor. Crown part number
Q43528-1.) Connect the PIP2 input
adapter to the two input cables of
the amplifier (see Figure 3.10).
Notice that the PIP2 input adapter
should be positioned with the PIP
edge connector on top and facing
away from the amplifier. The 20-
pin cable (A) is connected first
then the 18-pin cable (B) is
connected. Both ribbon cables
should extend below the PIP2
input adapter.
Next, insert the edge connector of
the P.I.P.–RPA into the PIP2 input
adapter (see Figure 3.11) and
insert the assembly into the PIP
opening in the back of the
amplifier.
4. Secure the P.I.P.–RPA with the two
screws and lock washers
provided. (The lock washers are
important because they bond the
PIP to the chassis ground of the
amplifier.)
5. Connect input and output wiring.
6. Plug in the amplifier and turn it on.
Adjust its level controls to a
desired setting.
Do not tamper with the circuitry. Cir-
cuit changes made by unauthorized
personnel, or unauthorized circuit
modifications are not allowed.
Remember: Crown is not liable for
any damage resulting from overdriv-
ing other components in your sound
system.
