Introduction Univox PLS-6 ® Univox® PLS-6 is a unique Class D Tech loop driver suitable for a wide range of loop configurations. Single-, two-turn perimeter loops and multi-loops enable flexibility to easily modify system performance. The high efficiency design has resulted in a series of loop drivers considerably smaller and lighter than their predecessors, with enhanced output power optimized for modern hearing loop system design.

Description Input level (1) should be set to 0 dB. (i.e. the 0 dB LED should be lit most of the time during the audio 1-2. programme. The +12 dB LED indicator (2) should not be lit at any time.) Parametric MLC control (3) makes it possible to fine tune the frequency response, compensating for 3-4.

Remote Input Monitor Connector (16) gives an indication at -6dB input level. Pin 4+5 (5=GND) = LED connection , indication/diagnostic test. Remote Output Monitor Connector (17) gives an indication at 0 dB output level. Pin 5+6 (5=GND) = LED connection, indication/diagnostic test. B.
Installation Planning Calculations for coverage area, metal loss, signal sources, power outlets, dissipating heat, loop driver placement for optimal ventilation and other practical installation issues, must be done prior to the on-site installation. Please refer to www.univox.eu/planning Use Univox Loop Designer (ULD), a free, web-based project planning and design tool that quickly and accurately assists in the design of loop systems.
Placement of the microphones Microphone placement and proximity between microphone and sound source is crucial for improved speech intelligibility. Use shortest distance possible between the microphone and the sound source. Commissioning and certification It’s important to check the system when the installation is completed. To ensure that the system meets the requirements for field strength, consistency and frequency response, the loop system should be commissioned in accordance to the international standard IEC 60118-4.
System setup Start-up procedure 1. Disconnect all input- and output connections. 2. Each loop cable must be securely isolated (particularly to safety-ground and other loop connections). Verify the resistance of the loop (approximately 1-3 Ohm). 3. Set all level controls to minimum setting: •...

If the Peak LED indicates continuously, try rewiring the connections in the junction box in subsequent order: one wire single III) turn and then two parallel wires single turn.
Metal Loss Correction frequency setting The degree of compensation for metal loss is adjusted with the MLC potentiometer The start/break frequency is set with the Parametric MLC knee point switch marked: 100Hz, 500Hz, 1kHz, 2kHz. 1. Start with the break frequency set to 2kHz. 2.
