NOTE: This is likely an unusual condition because the LED
will respond only if the input signal levels are greater than
+24dBu. It is recommended that this function normally be
disabled.
3. Output Compressor/Limiter Active: If this indication is enabled,
random flashing shows that the amplifier output compressor/limiters
have been activated. Occasional flashing is acceptable. Flashing
more than once every few seconds means the input signal level is
too high. To correct this condition during a performance, reduce
the input signal level at the signal source. If the source levels
must normally be run at such levels, then reduce the DSAi input
gain using DSAPilot. Because of possible audio artifacts, this
latter adjustment should not be done during a performance.
NOTE: It may be desirable to disable this indication to avoid
the audience seeing flashing LEDs, particularly on dynamic
program. In this case, determine the source level that
triggers the Output Compressor/Limiters. Monitor and control
the source level so as not to exceed this pre-determined trigger
level. This will help prevent the DSAi Output
Compressor/Limiters from activating more than occasionally.
4. System Fault: If this indication is enabled, flashing at regular
intervals indicates a fault in the DSAi’s electronics. Faults
include malfunctioning amplifiers or DSPs, over temperature, and
low battery. If a fault is indicated, use DSAPilot to determine the
exact problem. See Section 5.3 for information about monitoring
system faults.
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.
5. Identification: Using DSAPilot during initial system set-up,
this function is used to physically identify with which cluster
DSAPilot is communicating. Selecting a cluster or an individual
module within a cluster in DSAPilot will turn on the LEDs in the
corresponding enclosures.
6.1.3 SIGNAL MONITORING
Real-time Input and output signal levels can be monitored using
DSAPilot.
