USER MANUAL 2 DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS: 2.1 BEFORE SWITCHING THE DEVICE ON: 1- Make sure that the power supply circuits are properly dimensioned and that the power voltage is stable. To dimension the circuits, check the technical characteristics of the specific model. 2- Make sure there is correct air circulation from the front of the device towards the back, and avoid obstructing the air flow.
4- “Link” indicator: In case the system uses an expansion module of the ETX series, the light will be orange to indicate that there exists correct communication with the LDA remote control system. 5- 128x64 LCD Screen: It allows controlling and monitoring the system locally.
Page 12
If the problem is not due to overheating, turn the system off by pressing the “power” button on the back and contact the LDA Authorised Technical Service. If the indicator light is red intermittently: It indicates a transitory channel state due to some problem detected in the loudspeaker lines with which the amplifier channels are loaded.
STV SERIES 2.3 DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS. CONFIGURATION MENU: 2.3.1 NAVEGATION INDICATORS: IMPORTANT: It is necessary press the OK key in order to change the settings. If the ESC key is pressed, it will return to the previous value. The OK key must be pressed for selecting the Mode if you are in the Navigation Mode.

USER MANUAL 2.4 DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS. BACK: 1- Gain Controls: The independent channel gain controls can be adjusted manually and intuitively from the back. The adjustment range from the back is comprised between -80dB to 0dB. These controls are set with the default value and can be disabled in order to perform gain control from the front panel by using the appropriate adjustment menu.

STV SERIES 7.- Balanced priority audio output: Regenerated priority audio signal. Both the audio and the operation are regenerated to connect several systems in cascade. If the system is switched off, it directly allows priority input to pass. SIGNAL DESCRIPTION...
Stand-by. If the amplifier of STV series has got an ETX-1CN module placed in, it will have two priority inputs. One of these inputs is the same which is described below...
STV SERIES 4.2.2 CONNECTION: After the driver installation, it is needed a Communication Software like Hyper Terminal, Hercules, Tera, Term or another for communicating by series port. The virtual series port of the equipment must has the following setting: PARÁMETER...
USER MANUAL The user name is ADMIN and the password is the same which was set for the Administrator in the equipment. Default value 0000. Both items must be written with a ":" between them. For instance: ADMIN:0000 4.2.3 USB MENUS: The main menu is compound for others submenus, where all the basic adjustment functions can be realized.

USER MANUAL LANGUAGE: The Help tool is shown in all the menus. The option "UP", which is used to return up to the previous menu, is shown too. All the settings by USB connection are updated in the equipment immediately. If the language is modified trough out USB, the USB interface change to it at the same time that the equipment display.
5 ETX SERIES MODULES: 5.1 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: The expansion modules of the LDA ETX series allow the STV series to enlarge their integration and connectivity features. Both modules are insertable, exchangeable and easy to install in the system, thanks to a sole 40-wire ribbon cable connector with polarity.
Page 32
USER MANUAL The ETX-1 module can be configured from the equipment’s front panel or remotely.
USER MANUAL 5.1.2 ETX-1CN MODULE: The ETX-1CN module includes all the features of the ETX-1 module. It also allows fitting the STV series amplifiers with direct CobraNet inputs. When an ETX-1CN module is connected to an STV amplifier, the CobraNet audio inputs are selected as default inputs to the amplifier channels.
STV SERIES 5.2 INSTALLATION OF ETX MODULES: To install the ETX series modules correctly, you must follow the following steps: 1- Turn the STV amplifier off with the switch located on the back of the device. 2- Pull out the two screws that secure the existing module. Keep the screws.

Check the air flow grilles aren't locked. Wait some minutes while the equipment temperature decreases. Turn the equipment on. If the equipment is protected again some minutes before, contact with LDA SAT.
USER MANUAL 8 AVERAGE TIME FOR REPAIRING , MTBF: The event or average time for repairing curve shows that the failure concentration is located at the beginning and at the end of this life-time curve. For that reason, the average time for repairing could be calculated. This curve could be modified due to changes in the environment, it is recommended to put attention in the changes of external agents over the installation.
