Page 9: Rack Installation
PLA DL210NET Digi-Loop™ DSP Induction Loop Amplifier Rack Installation Install into a 19” rack using 10-32 rack screws. Leave 1U rack space above for ventilation. A surge protector or power conditioner is highly recommended. Use a grounded outlet. Connect all input/outputs before applying power. -
Page 10: Setup And Calibration Procedure (Using A Laptop Or Windows Tablet)
Note that for a single loop, “Dual-Loop” mode should be selected. Connect Loop A and Loop B to corresponding outputs on the back of the PLA DL210NET. If using a single loop, connect it to Loop A. If using a Phased Array, connect the Master loop to Loop A and the Slave loop to Loop B. If using a speaker, connect it to the Loop A Output and the loop wire to Loop B. -

Page 16: Front Menu Detail
PLA DL210NET Digi-Loop™ DSP Induction Loop Amplifier Front Menu Detail The entire on-screen menu is accessed by either rotating the control knob to the left or right (to view), or pushing it in (to select). See the Menu Tree (previous page) for an overview of the entire menu structure. -
Page 17: Configuration Menu
PLA DL210NET Digi-Loop™ DSP Induction Loop Amplifier 4. CONFIGURATION MENU The configuration menu is where most of the amplifier settings and fine-tuning is performed. This menu is where Inputs and Outputs are configured and system parameters are set up, stored and recalled. -
Page 18: 5A3. Eq
PLA DL210NET Digi-Loop™ DSP Induction Loop Amplifier 5a3. EQ This is a 3-band parametric equalizer providing adjustment for Low, Mid-Band, and High frequency. The center or cutoff frequency for each band is chosen under the Advanced Settings. The first screen (below) shows the level adjustment for each of the bands (midrange highlighted). -
Page 19: Output Configuration
PLA DL210NET Digi-Loop™ DSP Induction Loop Amplifier 6. OUTPUT CONFIGURATION Each of the outputs can be configured individually. To set up Ouput 1, enter “Output Configuration”. Ouput 1 is the first input you can adjust, so it is already selected. To get to the next input, rotate the knob to the right. -
Page 20: 6D. Agc
PLA DL210NET Digi-Loop™ DSP Induction Loop Amplifier 6d. AGC Automatic Gain Control measures the average level of the signal and applies gain reactively to keep the output level constant. It also limits the output power and reduces or eliminates distortion due to clipping that would normally occur without AGC. -
Page 21: 6E. Delay
PLA DL210NET Digi-Loop™ DSP Induction Loop Amplifier 6e. Delay Delay is the amount of time between the input signal and the output signal of the amplifier. This is often useful in a loop system when a PA system is also being used, so that the audio being heard through the loop (receiver or hearing aid) matches that of the PA System speakers. -
Page 22: System Configuration
PLA DL210NET Digi-Loop™ DSP Induction Loop Amplifier 7. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 7a1-3. Presets - Load Preset, Save Preset, Change Name Presets allow the user to store all of the current amplifier settings into one easy-to-access Preset, and recall the Preset when needed. -
Page 23: 7C. Network
PLA DL210NET Digi-Loop™ DSP Induction Loop Amplifier 7c. Network Network settings provide the ability to choose dynamic IP addressing or specify a static IP Address for the amplifier. The amplifier’s default state is dynamic (DHCP). If using DHCP (choosing “No” for Static IP in the second screen below) you need to go to a different screen to find out what the assigned IP Address is (See 7g5, IP Address under Tech Tools). -
