Page 7: Address Number Verification
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com IC Live Users Manual, ICL-F & ICL-F-DUAL ADDRESS NUMBER VERIFICATION Iconyx steerable column loudspeakers are digitally controlled and each 8-channel module must have a separate and distinct address num- ber. The address number for each module is set using a Binary coding system and 8 on/off dip switches. The switches are located behind each module’s rear access plate. -
Page 8: Software Installation & Setup
Phoenix connectors are provided on each column. 1.0 V is required for rated power output. 2. Since the Iconyx digital network uses a RS422 serial line for control, a USB to RS422 converter/adapter (Renkus-Heinz SETUP-IC) is needed to connect and convert your computer's USB output to RS422. The USB to RS422 converter/adapter terminates in a 9-pin DB-9 connector. -

All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com IC Live Users Manual, ICL-F & ICL-F-DUAL USING BeamWare One of the features of BeamWare 2 is the ability to view both the vertical and the horizontal coverage of Iconyx arrays. The horizontal coverage display enables you to quicky determine if a single Iconyx array will provide adequate horizontal coverage or whether more that one array will be needed. - Page 16 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com IC Live Users Manual, ICL-F & ICL-F-DUAL The next step is to add an Iconyx array to the project and place it in the graphic. There are several ways to do this. You can go to the Project pull down menu, select Add Array and click on the array you want to add or you can go to the New Array icon in the Tool Bar section and click on the down arrow and select the desired array.
- Page 17 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com IC Live Users Manual, ICL-F & ICL-F-DUAL ARRAY PROPERTIES The Array Properties section of BeamWare 2 is where the Array’s sonic output is aimed, analyzed and adjusted to optimize its coverage of the audience area(s);...
- Page 18 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com IC Live Users Manual, ICL-F & ICL-F-DUAL Before you go any further, you should first verify that you are using the correct measurement system (feet or meters). The default measurement system is Metric (Meters), so you may want to change to feet. If you want to change it, go to the File pull down menu and click on Options or right click on the BeamWare Project window in the center of the screen.
- Page 19 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com IC Live Users Manual, ICL-F & ICL-F-DUAL Now, it’s time to locate (position) the steerable column. Usually it will be on the front wall (X = 0.00) on the New RH BeamWare Project dis- play.
- Page 20 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com IC Live Users Manual, ICL-F & ICL-F-DUAL Note that at any point you can click on the Calculate Mapping bar to tell the program to map the array’s performance on the audience area. As soon as you press Calculate Mapping, a pop up screen will ask you to choose the resolution of the simulation.
- Page 21 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com IC Live Users Manual, ICL-F & ICL-F-DUAL Now, let’s investigate the multiple beam capabilities of Iconyx. In many installations, a single beam is the ideal solution for the room’s acoustical challenges. In some cases, however, multiple beams are needed to provide the desired coverage.
- Page 22 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com IC Live Users Manual, ICL-F & ICL-F-DUAL Now that we understand the basics of using BeamWare 2, it’s time to investigate one of the unique tools BeamWare 2 includes to even further speed the design process. It’s called Auto-Focus and it is available as a design aid whenever you choose to use 2 or more beams.
- Page 23 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com IC Live Users Manual, ICL-F & ICL-F-DUAL The next graphic shows a much larger room, 100 feet deep instead of 50 feet. Not that the beam opening was narrowed to 25 o to obtain a longer throw.
- Page 24 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com IC Live Users Manual, ICL-F & ICL-F-DUAL At this point you should save your work if you have not already done so. The next step is Network Configuration and you have gone as far as you can in BeamWare 2 unless and until you have an actual network of column loudspeakers connected to your PC.
- Page 25 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com IC Live Users Manual, ICL-F & ICL-F-DUAL NETWORK SETUP After you are happy with the design the next step is to transfer the setup information from the software domain in which it was created into a network configuration;...
- Page 26 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com IC Live Users Manual, ICL-F & ICL-F-DUAL Now open the Network tab. Notice that BeamWare 2 has placed an Array into the configuration window. At this point we are still in the software project domain. The Columns in Network section of the window is blank because we haven’t yet scanned the Network to determine what Columns are avail- able.
- Page 27 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com IC Live Users Manual, ICL-F & ICL-F-DUAL As you can see, Beamware 2 has found 2 Columns on the Network. The red box indicates they have not yet been assigned to an Array. The box will change to green after the Columns are assigned to an Array and the configuration files have been loaded into the Array.
- Page 28 In most cases, you will find that this is the case as the Array(s) were created and loaded with default setup parameters during final inspec- tion at Renkus-Heinz. The default setup information is not uploaded to the Beamware project. The third option, New Project from network, is used mainly to connect to an existing Iconx installation. It searches the hardware network and sets up a new project in Beamware ll with all the proper settings and uploads the setup information from the Arrays to the software.

The Master Level button allows you to control the output level of the column array.

All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com IC Live Users Manual, ICL-F & ICL-F-DUAL INSTALLATION PRE INSTALL TEST It’s always a good idea to test the column array as a complete unit before it is installed to make sure all the connections were properly made and all the transducers are working. - Page 33 PARALLEL: RX+ to RX+, TX+ to TX+ and so on. Recommended RS422 data wire type: CAT5E wire is acceptable, or for shielded type, Belden 9729 has been tested by Renkus-Heinz up to 800 meters. When using long wire lengths, a 120 Ohm terminating resistor may be necessary.

The Fault Monitoring program was installed on your computer along with BeamWare 2.
