PL-10 User Guide AP5708 issue 2 1

Introduction The PL-10 adds to the extensive range of remote control devices available for the iDR-4/8 audio

mix processor and iLive mixing systems. It offers an alternative to the PL-6 fader controller with the advantage that

user settings can be stored and recalled without the need to physically move the controls to the new settings.

The PL-10 is part of the Allen & Heath PL Series of wall plates and remote controllers. It can be mounted into a plinth

or custom furniture, or used free standing. Template cutting details are provided for custom application. The PL-10

interfaces with the Allen & Heath PL-Anet serial port. Multiple PL-10 units can be daisy chained together along with

other PL-Anet devices using CAT5 cable. A terminator is provided for plugging into the last unit in the chain. For

information on the full range of PL products available visit http://www.allen-heath.com. The PL-10 control and indicator

functions are programmed using the iDR System Manager software, or the iLive Surface TouchScreen or Editor

software. Space is provided next to the controls for custom labelling. The PL-10 is ideal as a remote mix controller, for

example as a simple operator controlled mix panel in an installed sound system, or as a personal musicians on-stage

mix controller for in-ear monitors. The installer can program the unit according to the requirements of the application,

providing the degree of control needed by the day to day operator.

8 Rotary Encoders can be configured individually for continuous input, output, group, crosspoint level control or

monitor level. Minimum and maximum ranges can be set. Each rotary encoder has 8 LEDs displaying the control

position. 16 Switches, arranged as two per rotary encoder, can be configured as combinations of level up/down, mute

toggle, polarity toggle, audio monitor select, or preset recall. 24 LED indicators, arranged as three per fader, can be

configured as combinations of 3 colour signal meters, mute status, channel on indication, level sensing or preset

related 3 colour LED indication. Controls can be disabled if not required. A single 3 colour Status LED displays PL-

Anet power and communication status. Custom labels can be fitted into the recessed areas provided (13 x 7mm).

Recommended label height is 6mm.

Number of devices The maximum number of PL devices that can be connected depends on their type, cable lengths and PL-Anet Bus Speed. Up to 18x PL-10 devices may be connected in an iDR system with the half speed PL-A-net Bus setting. Fewer devices may be connected if long distances, full bus speed or other PL types are involved. Long distances up to 300m (1000’), and star point connection are possible if the optional PL-9 PL-Anet hub is used.
