OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Once you have properly connected the AD 22 to the
system, turn on the power. When the AD 22 is first powered it
displays the words " RANE " and " Ad 22 ". During this time
the unit is performing initialization and diagnostics routines.
After initialization, two messages are briefly displayed. The
first is the revision level of the software installed in the unit.
The second message reports the internal Stereo/Mono
configuration," 2CHAN " for Stereo, and " 1CHAN " for Mono.
The first time you power the AD 22 it is in BYPASS, and
functions like an expensive wire. This is useful for initial
trouble shooting and allows for convenient verification of
signal flow.
THE BASICS
The AD 22 is a two Channel device. Each Channel has a
current Delay value that is always active/heard. You can only
edit the current Delay values. Additionally each Channel has
two nonvolatile Memories, A and B. The current Delay values
can be stored in one of these two Memories.
SENSITIVITY SETUP
The first step is to apply signal, and adjust the SENSITIV-
ITY controls. If you know the nominal level, adjust the
control so its indicator points to that level. Otherwise, set the
SENSITIVITY control so high signal peaks just illuminate the
CLIP indicator, then back it off just a little.
ADJUSTING CURRENT DELAY VALUE:
One Channel at a time: Press the CHAN button to select
the desired Channel. The LED display shows the current
Delay value of the selected Channel. Press the up/down
buttons until the desired Delay value is reached. That's it!
Press the CHAN button until the other CHAN LED is lit and
edit its current Delay value.
Both Channels simultaneously: If you've selected both
Channels (both CHAN LEDs ON), the LED display shows
the smaller of the two Channels current Delay values.
Changing this value changes the other Channel's value by the
same relative amount. Check the other Channel's current
Delay value by selecting it with the CHAN button. There are
two things to be careful of at this point: The first is to pay
close attention to the CHAN LEDs that indicate the Channel
you are viewing, it cycles from CHAN 1 to CHAN 2 to both
and back again. (both always displays the lower of the two
Channels current Delay values.) The second gotcha at this
point is pressing the RECALL button. This writes over the
changes you've made if you have not stored them.
STORING DELAYS
Press the STORE button. The STORE LED stops flashing.
This Stores the current Delay values into each Channel's
current Memory (A or B). The current Memory for each
Channel is indicated by the MEMORY LED which is lit when
editing that Channel. Both Channel's current Delay values are
Stored with each press of the STORE button.

RECALLING DELAYS
Press the RECALL button. Each press of this button
alternately Recalls stored Memories (A then B then A...) for
the selected Channel only.
Tip: To recall Memories into both Channels simulta-
neously, store both Channel's values into the same Memory–
A or B. With both Channels selected (both CHAN LEDs on),
pressing RECALL causes both Channels to Recall the same
Memory.
REMOTE RECALLS
The rear REMOTE RECALL terminals are functionally
equivalent to the front panel RECALL button. When the
switch closes, Memory B is recalled. Memory A is recalled by
opening the switch. These terminals can not be locked out.
Only one switch at a time is read by the microcontroller.
Thus, when both Channel's terminals are wired with a single
switch for Stereo operation, the switch/Channel that is read
last is displayed.
Tip: Note the weather forecast for your event's time of
day. Set up Memory A's Delay value for your stack's distance
at one temperature, and Memory B's value for a different
temperature. Then during the warmer part of the day, recall
Memories to suit the climate.
INTERNAL BYPASS JUMPER SETTING
Internal jumpers enable or disable the BYPASS buttons
while in Front Panel Lockout mode. The default setting of
these jumpers disables the BYPASS buttons in Front Panel
Lockout mode. (See Detail C on enclosed drawing 522-131.)
CONFIGURING FOR MONO OPERATION
Internal jumpers allow the AD 22 to be configured as a
Mono device with twice the normal Delay, 655.34 millisec-
onds. Three internal jumpers must be moved to enable Mono
mode. (See Detail D on enclosed drawing 522-131.) Do not
use Channel 2's I/O terminal connectors in Mono mode. Only
the CHANNEL 1 Inputs and Outputs are active. The CHAN
button is disabled, since there is no need to change Channels.
Channel 2 is placed in Bypass and its BYPASS button is
disabled.
HOLE PLUGS
Once your system is properly configured, the SENSITIV-
ITY knobs can be removed and the unit secured by replacing
the knobs with the provided hole plugs. The third hole plug is
for use with the rear-mounted LOCKOUT switch.
