Precision 8 OPERATION MANUAL

Optional Level Indicator Modes

The Peak-Hold level indicators can operate in two modes. As supplied, only the OL and

PK indicators will hold (after they are activated) until RESET is depressed. An optional

mode is available which causes the -3 and -6 indicators to also hold until RESET is

depressed. This mode can be helpful in live sound and recording applications where the

Precision 8 is remotely located from the device(s) to which it is connected. Jumpers

inside the unit select this optional mode. If you wish to configure the unit for this mode,

proceed as follows:
