EAW’s Windows-based DSAPilot is used to set the coverage required for each module or cluster. The user-friendly DSAPilot optimizes the required signal processing for the design. This data is then uploaded to the DSAi Series modules in the system. -

· Full frequency response and high output for music applications. · Extended pattern control and higher outputs at lower frequencies using additional DSA230is. · Exceptional intelligibility for reverberant rooms. 4.2.2 ELECTRONIC · Self-powered requiring wiring for ac power, line level audio, and computer control. -
Page 14: Applications
In these cases, designers enjoy control of the vertical pattern throughout the vocal range. For broadband music reproduction, the addition of a DSA230i to each DSA250i will extend pattern control well into the LF range and provide additional LF output. - Page 15 Multiple DSAi modules arrayed as a cluster at a single location allows a greater range of beamwidths, SPL, pattern control, and low frequency output than a single DSAi module can provide. DSAPilot treats the cluster as if it were a single loudspeaker, precluding the complexities normally associated with designing and tuning clusters.

Page 16: Dsapilot
Directional control is increased in classical line array fashion by extending the length of the overall array by mounting the DSA230i in line with a DSA250i to form a longer line of low frequency transducers. In addition, the increased number of low frequency transducers couple to increase the low frequency output capability. -

However, the basic requirements are the same in all cases. Module refers to either a DSA230i or DSA250i. Cluster refers to any of the permissible arrangements of single or multiple DSA230i or DSA250i modules as defined in DSAPilot. -

5.3.3 SUPERVISORY CIRCUITS While there are a number of possible supervisory circuits, the normal method is to use the relay contacts to connect or disconnect power to an annunciator. This can be a light, audible alarm, computer interface, or other indicator. A light is used in the example diagrams. 1. -
Page 24: Ac Mains Power Connection
Each DSAi Series module is rated for a particular nominal ac mains voltage: 115 V or 230 V. Provide the module with 50 Hz or 60 Hz ac mains circuit capable of: DSA230i and DSA250i Before applying power, ensure that the ac mains voltage matches the voltage rating on the module. -
Page 25: Ac Mains Fuse
If it is desired to completely power off (de-energize) the module, a conveniently located ac mains disconnect must be supplied or the power cable must be unplugged from the module or the ac mains supply. The PowerCon connector is a locking connecter. To lock, twist 1/4 turn clockwise after fully inserting into the jack. -

The orientations are shown in the DSAPilot graphics. When activated by the DSAPilot software, this LED can be used to verify both the correct up-down orientation and, when multiple modules are used, the correct location of each. For the DSA250i, the Power End is the end with the HF subsystem and Signal End is the end with the LF subsystem. -
Page 28: Installation Options
Alternate Methods: In some applications, the DSAi modules may require other methods of installation. Please contact EAW for assistance when the normal methods cannot be used. (See Section 7.3) In all cases, orient each enclosure in the cluster as shown in the DSAPilot diagrams according to the location of the Signal End with the LED. -

Page 32: Chapter 6 Operation
Chapter 6 Operation This section provides details about DSAi operation. The general operation of a DSAi module is similar to the operation of most loudspeakers. Initial system set-up and overall tuning adjustments detailed in this Chapter must be made using DSAPilot. For details about using DSAPilot functions refer to the DSAPilot Help File. -
Page 33: Signal Monitoring
NOTE: A battery is used to retain the DSAi module’s settings when disconnected from the ac mains. A low battery requires replacement by the EAW Service Department or the service department of the EAW Distributor for your country. Expected battery life is 10 years without being connected to the ac mains. -
Page 34: Operational Check List
Operational Check List To operate a DSAi module, pre-performances checks and adjustments should be made. In typical permanently installed applications, these checks would normally be one-time, set-up adjustments that may only need to be periodically verified. All of these steps require using DSAPilot. -

Operational ‘DOS’ and ‘DONT'S’ 6.4.1 EQUALIZATION If equalization is required for tailoring the frequency response during performances, use an external equalizer such as a good quality 1/3 octave graphic equalizer, for this purpose. Connect the equalizer inline with the DSAi input signal. DSA’s user input equalization, adjusted via DSAPilot, should be used only for overall tuning adjustments made during initial system set-up. -

Improper set-up of an EIA-485 network can result in faulty or no operation. -
Page 41: Termination Notes
The infrastructure for a CobraNet network must be designed and built using standard IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-T Ethernet network hardware. As this is a standardized technology, EAW does not provide technical support for Ethernet networking. Standards and technical documentation for the design, set-up, operation, and troubleshooting of 100BASE-T Ethernet networks are available from a variety of sources on the Internet. -

8.6.5 PROPER DSAI INSTALLATIONS Here are some examples of DSAi installations that will work reliably, both avoiding loops and keeping EIA- 485 running well. These can be used as a basis for larger and more complex installations. SLink PILOT DSA "A" PLink DSA "B"... -
Page 45: Avoiding Communication Loops
EXAMPLE 3: Should you be working with a CobraNet Audio source that does not support the serial bridge feature, you can follow this next connection scheme. The DSAPilot PC is connected to DSAi module "A" using an EIA-485 link. "A" communicates the data to the other modules over the CobraNet serial bridge through DSAi module "A". - Page 46 EXAMPLE 1: (no figure shown) One cabling configuration that you should NEVER make is to daisy-chain the EIA-485 cabling from module to module then home run a cable from the last module back to the PC to create a closed loop. This may seem like a good idea because, if there is a break anywhere in the cable, there will still be a connection back to the PC.

EXAMPLE 4: Looping occurs between both the Link and CobraNet connections. 8.6.7 AVOIDING STUBS AND CORRECT 120 OHM TERMINATION A long stub or branch off of an EIA-485 bus can cause a significant impedance mismatch and thus reflections and degradation of the computer control signals. Stubs of several feet / 1 m or more are considered "long." Avoid using stubs. -
