Installation - Crest Audio CKI Owner's Manual

The extended capabilities of CKi amplifiers are reached when connected to a
NexSys amplifier network via a NexSys module.These modules reside in the
CKi's module bay and provide control, monitoring, and signal processing fea-
tures.This chapter covers the installation of NexSys modules as well as infor-
mation concerning computer control of a NexSys system. For more informa-
tion about controlling a system with NexSys refer to the NexSys System
Manual
There are two modules through which a CKi amplifier can be connected to a
NexSys network – the NxEthernet Module and NxCobranet Module.
Although they have different feature sets, they both serve the networking func-
tion. Because of this, they are collectively referred to as "network modules. "
The installation procedure for both is the same.
1. Remove the blank panel covering the CKi's module bay by removing
the screws on either side of the panel.Save these screws, as they will be
needed for fastening the network module.
2. Inside the exposed module bay you should see the ribbon cable con-
nector on the amplifier' s circuit board. Note of the way the connector
is keyed, and position the ribbon cable to match. Insert the cable into
the connector, with the opposite end hanging out of the module bay.
3.Position the network module right side up.Connect the exposed end
of the ribbon cable to the connector on the module, again taking note
of the keying of the connectors.
4. Slide the module into the bay, and fasten it to the CKi' s chassis with
the screws removed in Step #1.
