Rane HAL1x Installation Guide - Page 85

HAL SYSTEM INSTALL GUIDE NOTE: If you want to use RAD functionality in your audio rack near a HAL or EXP, a nice solution is to install RADs in the rack using special expansion devices. We suggest you take a look at the rack device products by Lowell (specifically the LD9-RMP) or by Radio Design Labs (specifically the RM-D9 rack mount product). Installing a RAD or DR in a new HAL System: 1. Confirm that the proper switchbox (one-gang, two-gang, three-gang, or four-gang depending on the model) is installed and that the shielded CAT 5e cable is terminated. 2. Confirm that you are installing the correct RAD or DR model in each location. The model number appears on the front cover of the device (at the bottom). NOTE: Labeling the RADs ahead of time provides additional verification that the right RAD is being installed. DR display labels appear dynamically on their LCD screen-when connected to a configured HAL. 3. Plug the shielded CAT 5e cable into the jack on the back of the RAD or DR. 4. View the RAD LEDs and DR LCD screens to determine if you installed the correct model and if the device is communicating properly with the HAL or EXP it is connected to. As long as the HAL or EXP is connected and powered on, the RAD LEDs and DR LCD screens should activate as soon as you connect the shielded CAT 5e cable. RAD LEDs: If the RAD is functioning correctly (and the HAL configuration matches the physical RAD), the following LED indicators turn green: Power, Comm, Audio Rx, and Audio Tx. Each of these LEDs corresponds to a twisted pair within the shielded CAT 5e cable, and a green light indicates that the twisted pair has been detected by the HAL and is working properly. See "Task 3: Pulling and Terminating shielded CAT 5e Cabling" on page 76 for more details on the functionality of each twisted pair. The following bullets list other situations that may arise when installing RADs: o If you have connected the RAD and one or more of its LEDs turns solid red or does not light up at all, this indicates a problem. See "Troubleshooting RAD Devices" on page 103. o If the LEDs flash red, however, this simply means there is a mismatch between the physical RAD model and the configured RAD model. Determine which model is needed and install it. For details, see "Task 7: Verify and Troubleshoot Installation" on page 83. (If the LEDs flash green, this indicates the RAD has been placed in Locate mode.) o If you notice the intensity of these lights varying from time to time, there is no need to schedule an appointment with your eye doctor! Each RAD contains a light sensor that detects the amount of light in the room. As the light in the room gets darker (which can be simulated by passing your hand over the light sensor), the intensity of the LEDs fades. This is to prevent the RADs from glowing brightly in a darkened room. Note that you can set the intensity of these LEDs within Halogen. See the Halogen Help System for details. NOTE: The Pager1 RAD has LED indicators as well as an LCD display screen. The LEDs on the back function like any other RAD, except in two situations: If there is a device mismatch, the mismatch message appears on the LCD screen (a flashing exclamation point and the words Configuration Mismatch). When the Pager1 is in Locate mode, a flashing L appears in the upper right corner of the LCD screen and the LCD backlight flashes. If the LCD screen displays Disabled when you turn its selector knob, this indicates that either the Pager1 has not been added to the HAL 79
