Install
1 Check the Mains Voltage setting on the rear of the FDS-388/380 Omnidrive and
install into a rack. Connect the mains to the unit and check that it powers up.
2 Connect the two audio inputs and up to eight audio outputs. Do not put any audio
through the unit at this time.
Refer to Sections 2.0 thru 2.7 'Installation'
1 The user will need to load a program suitable for the PA system in use. Some units
will come locked to a specific PA system. In this case most controls will be disa-
bled and the unit will be ready for use. If the unit has a blank display or 'OWNER'
on the default screen, then the unit has been pre-programmed and software
locked and is also ready for use.
2 If the FDS-388 is not locked in one of these ways, the user may need to load a
program specific for the PA system by recalling it from memory or by loading a
file from a smart card. Alternatively recall program 0 (default) and program as in 5
below.
3 To load a file from memory press RECALL while in the default screen; the first
screen after the logo has disappeared. Use the parameter wheel to scroll through
the available programs. Programs marked with diamonds are "OEM" programs and
have been designed to match specific PA systems. Press the RECALL key again to
recall the selected program. If there is no program suitable then the user will need
to set up the unit from scratch to suit the PA manufacturers specification after
recalling program 0, or obtain a program on a smart card.
4 To load a file from smart card press RECALL while in the default screen. Press the
middle soft key on the left of the display. Turn the encoder to make the middle soft
key show 'Cprg' (Card program). Press the top soft key ('PICK') and turn the
encoder to select the program from the card. A second press of RECALL will load
the program. The user should now store the settings in internal memory for future
use. Refer to Section 15.0, Store Screen.
5 To adjust individual band levels, use the front panel trim controls.
For information on the FDS-380 Install version of the Omnidrive Refer to Section 21.0,
FDS-380 Install.
1 Set the Midi channel number of the FDS-380 Omnidrive Install using the two
recessed keys at the left hand end of the unit. To load a complete XAL file the file
should be named LOADmm.XAL where mm is the midi channel number e.g.
LOAD01.XAL if the unit's midi channel is 1. The file will be loaded when the card
is inserted into the card slot - the user is given a 3 second warning countdown
before the contents of the FDS-380 are overwritten. If the filename is wrong, an
error number will be displayed. Refer to Section 21.0 FDS-380 Install.
