Operation - Crown Com-Tech CT-1610 Reference Manual

4 Operation

The R.S.V.P. lets you control the
power-up/power-down function of
your CT-10 series amplifier from
across the room—or across the sta-
dium. Units are individually pow-
ered, allowing you to daisy-chain
any number of R.S.V.P. s for remote
control of an unlimited number of
amplifiers. Each R.S.V.P. unit con-
trols 21 amplifier remote jacks.
That's enough to control a 6-foot
(1.83 meter) rack of amplifiers and
still have a jack left over to daisy-
chain to another R.S.V.P.
Make sure that the vent holes of
the R.S.V.P . are NOT obstructed.
When mounting the unit in the
back of your rack, avoid blocking
air flow to any of your rack-
mounted equipment .
The R.S.V.P. 's 21 remote amplifier
jacks are protected against
shorted conditions. If a short does
occur, the R.S.V.P. will switch its
output to the off state. To reset the
unit, simply turn it off, wait a few
seconds, and then turn the unit
back on. The R.S.V.P. will not oper-
ate correctly if the short is still
present.

R.S.V.P. Remote Switching Voltage Provider
The power on/off function is con-
trolled by the "Slave/Aux In" port,
or from pairs of normally-open
switches attached to the "On/Com/
Off" barrier block input. To use the
momentary switches, simply press
the on or off switch for the desired
system state.
When using the "Slave/Aux In" port
(such as when using an IQ sys-
tem), the system will automatically
turn on when the specified voltage
is present at the port. When this
happens, the previous system
state is saved and any momentary
switches that are attached be-
come disabled. This will provide
priority access to the Crown IQ
user, preventing accidental shut-
down. If you want off-control via
the IQ System, you will need to
start the IQ System first. If you want
to control the off function via the
momentary switches, you need to
have them turned on prior to turn-
ing on the IQ System. When the
voltage at the "Slave/Aux In" port is
removed, the R.S.V.P. resets to
whatever state it was in prior to
voltage being applied at the
"Slave/Aux In" port.
