VARICURVE S Y S T E M TM Installation 2.0 Installation 2.1 Unpacking As part of BSS Audio’s policy of quality control, this product is carefully checked before packing to ensure flawless appearance and that it reaches you in first class condition. After unpacking the two units, please inspect them for any physical damage. If any damage has occurred, notify your dealer immediately. A written claim for damages can then be initiated.
2.3 Mains Power Before connecting the FPC-900i interface to an AC power source, check that the voltage selector switch on the side panel is correctly set. If a change is necessary then ensure that the mains fuse is changed for one of the correct current rating Refer to Section 2.6 'Installation' - AC Power and Fusing. WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are colour coded in accordance with the following code. Green and Yellow......Earth Blue......Neutral Brown....
VARICURVE S Y S T E M TM Voltage Setting Safety Earthing AC Power Fusing 2.4 Voltage Setting The mains voltage selector switch provides a simple external adjustment to allow operation on all international AC power standards. Newer units are supplied with 115/230V selector switches. The allowable ranges for the supply voltage are: 90VAC up to 132VAC on the 120V or 115V position and 190VAC up to 264VAC on the 240V or 230V position. Outside these voltages the unit will not work satisfactorily, if at all.
Data Connections Midi 2.7 Data Connections and Midi Quick Reference Connect MIDI Outs to MIDI Ins in a daisy chain back to the Interface. Set FCS-926s and FCS-920s to different MIDI channels, and set FCS-926s to MIDI XMIT THRU. Connect the Remote - Interface umbilical then execute UTILS/XFER/DUMP ALLDEV to REMOTE.
VARICURVE S Y S T E M TM Data Connections Midi Since the remote stores within it all data concerned with each Varicurve unit, it is first essential to dump all data from the Varicurves to the remote. Data for Omnidrives is only stored in the Omnidrive itself. To initiate this process, use XFER ALLDEV to REMOTE in the UTILS menu - see section 15.0 'Xfer (transfer)'.
FSK 2.8 FSK An FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) communications channel is included for operation over long microphone cables, or over a standard musicians wireless link. One-way data transmission is then possible, although the user may notice that the lower data rate results in slower reaction of the devices to commands issued by the remote. Using standard microphone XLR cable, lengths of several hundred metres are quite acceptable.
VARICURVE S Y S T E M TM Internal Battery 2.9 Internal Battery Quick Reference Connect the umbilical between the remote and interface so that the charger can keep the battery charged. Any flashing LEDs on the interface indicate charge to go. All four LEDs light when fully charged.

NOTE: that in the same way that formatting a floppy disc deletes ALL data on the disc, formatting a FLASH or SRAM card will delete all existing data on the card.
VARICURVE S Y S T E M TM Card Types 16.2 Card Types The Smart Card interface requires 68pin PCMCIA2 compatible memory cards. Attribute memory is not required and is not used. SRAM CARDS 128k, 256k, 512k, 1M, 2M. Battery life varies with manufacturer. As an example Fujisoku 256k cards have an approximate life of 5.9 years, 2M cards have an approximate life of 1.1 years. FLASH CARDS 256k, 512k, 1M, 2M. All FLASH cards are formatted as 256k with a single ALLDATA file recorded on them.
Controlling Omnidrive Devices 17.0 Controlling Omnidrive Devices Quick Reference Select an Omnidrive device using the Device keys. Select the value to adjust using the Speed Strip. Adjust the value using the Parameter control. Only a few of the variables within the Omnidrive p.a. controllers can be adjusted by the FPC-900 remote. Each channel's gain, mute and delay are available along the speed strip in addition to the main delay. No other variables from the Omnidrive are available at the remote.
VARICURVE S Y S T E M TM Controlling Omnidrive Devices The variable labelled UNITS is purely an FPC-900 display variable and has no link to the Delay Units variable on the Omnidrive. The variable on the Remote is only capable of displaying feet or metres as display in the time format would require adjustment with temperature. Turn the Freqency control to adjust the units.
18.0 Controlling Delay Devices Device type Change the delay units (m or ft) Output band parameters Main delay value CONNECTING Connect a TCS 803 or 804 device as a 'spur' from the MIDI THRU socket of another device on the loop. Do NOT connect anything to the MIDI OUT sockets of the 803/804 devices. RECOGNITION Since TCS80X devices do not transmit Varicurve style ID responses, they are not automatically recognised by the FPC900 Varicurve remote.
VARICURVE S Y S T E M TM It is important to realise therefore that any settings in the TCS80X devices will be lost when first controlled by an FPC900, but changes made on the TCS80X will override the FPC900. This will ensure that events driven from the FPC900 are not immediately overwritten by the FPC900 sending the channel delay values again. If you wish to ensure that the FPC900 changes are resent to the TCS80X, then you must change to the Index screen and enter the unit name again.
