Quick Install Procedure
This procedure is provided for those who are already familiar with IQ System and
CobraNet
TM technologies, and who would like to install the IQ-PIP-USP2/CN in the
shortest time possible. Less experienced installers or those wishing a full
explanation of the installation procedure are encouraged to refer to Section 3 where
the full installation procedure is described.
Prepare the IQ-PIP-USP2/CN:
1. Set the IQ address switch S1 (see Figures 2.1 and 3.1) on the IQ-PIP-USP2/CN
to an unused IQ address. (Tip: Record the IQ address on the small field la-
beled “IQ ADDRESS” that is provided on the PIP panel.)
Prepare the amplifier:
3. Turn down the level controls of the amplifier and turn off the amplifier.
4. Unplug the power cord of the amplifier from the AC mains.
5. Remove the existing PIP or cover panel from the amplifier back panel (two
screws).
Install the IQ-PIP-USP2/CN into the amplifier:
6. Carefully ground yourself to the chassis of the amplifier before installing the
IQ-PIP-USP2/CN. It is a good idea to maintain ground contact between your-
self and the amplifier while inserting the module into the amplifier in the next
step.
7. Turn the PIP upside down so you can clearly see the two ribbon cable con-
nectors located on the underside of the board near the back corner (see Fig-
ure 2.1). Attach the ribbon cables from your amp to the ribbon-cable
connectors. The 20-pin cable should be connected first, then the 18-pin cable
should be connected. Both ribbon cables should run untwisted from the am-
plifier to the PIP module.
Important: Be careful when attaching the ribbon cable to the connector that
the cable is properly seated before applying pressure to the connector. Forc-
ing the cable onto the connector could cause the keying tabs, which ensure
proper pin alignment, to break. Connecting the ribbon cables with improper
pin alignments may result in damage to the PIP.
When both cables are firmly attached, turn the IQ-PIP-USP2/CN back to an
upright position and insert into the PIP opening in the back of the amplifier.
Take care while inserting the PIP
to make sure you do not crimp, pinch or
stretch the ribbon cables.
8. Tighten the two PIP mounting screws until it is secured to the amplifier back
panel, making sure the supplied star-washers penetrate the powder-coat fin-
ish of the PIP panel for good ground connection.
Install the wiring:
9. Connect the IQ-PIP-USP2/CN to the IQ System via the IQ Bus (see Section 3.4
if more information is needed).
10. Connect the IQ-PIP-USP2/CN to the CobraNet network hub or switch. Install
the supplied ferrite cores on the network cable, making two turns. (see Sec-
tion 3.4 if more information is needed).
11. Reconnect the amplifier to the AC mains.
