Quick Install Procedure

This procedure is provided for those who are already familiar with Crown’s
IQ System and who would like to install the IQ–SLM-8 in the shortest time
possible. Less experienced installers or those wishing a full explanation of
the installation procedure are encouraged to go to Section 4 where the full
installation procedure is described.

Prepare the IQ–SLM-8:

1 Set the IQ address switch (Figures 4.1 and 4.2) on the

IQ–SLM-8 to

an unused IQ address.

Mounting:

2 Mount the unit (Figure 4.3). It can be mounted into a standard 19-

inch (48.3-cm) equipment rack or cabinet, or it can be stacked.

Install the wiring:

3 Connect the

IQ–SLM-8 to the IQ System via the Crown Bus (see

Section 4.6 if more information is needed).

4 Turn off all amplifiers or other equipment that will either feed or be

connected to the

IQ–SLM-8.

5 Connect the

IQ–SLM-8 signal generator to the audio system up-

stream of the monitor points (Figure 4.5).

6 Connect the audio wiring to the

IQ–SLM-8 inputs and outputs.

Prepare the audio system:

7 Set all equalizers, filters, delays and any other processing equip-

ment between the test signal insertion point and the monitor points.

8 Set and verify all level and gain settings between the test signal

insertion point and the monitor points.

Configure the IQ–SLM-8:

9 Use IQ software to perform and verify reference tests with the

IQ–

SLM-8 connected to an IQ System. Remember to allow for the natu-
ral variations in your system and try to obtain reference
measurements that are typical.

10 After determining the normal variations in the audio system, set the

tolerance levels which will determine when a test passes or fails.

In order to comply with FCC regulations, an EMI suppression core should be added to

the (1) Crown Bus input and output wiring, (2) the generator output wiring, and (3) the
AUX input and output wiring. Three EMI suppression cores are provided. See Section
4.9.
