3 Installation
Before beginning, please carefully note:
CAUTION: STATIC ELECTRICITY MAY DAMAGE THE UNIT. Use caution when han-
dling the unit. Carefully ground yourself BEFORE touching the unit. Avoided unnecessary
touching the components or solder pads on the circuit board. It is best to handle the unit by
its front panel only.
3.1 Prepare the PIP
The PIP comes ready to install in the amplifier. This unit does not require setting the “IQ
address” as the older current loop, Crown bus, units did. Each PIP (as well as all network
components) comes preprogrammed with a unique network (MAC) address. The IQ or HiQ-
net address is then set (automatically or manually) via the IQwic or SystemArchitect control
software. (Also you will set a TCP/IP network address.)
3.2 Prepare the Amplifier
Turn down the amplifier level controls (full counterclockwise) and turn off the
amplifier.
Disconnect the amplifier's power cord.
Remove the existing PIP module from the amplifier back panel (two screws). This may
involve disconnecting the PIP module from a PIP2 input adapter. If a PIP2 input adapter is
present, remove ribbon cables from the adapter.
