Programming

Volume Limit

This function sets the maximum volume level that a user can select for an amp/channel-input combination.

Warning: The Volume Limit function will cause the amp- input combination in the PM-3180 to play at the maximum limit (default value is 25, full volume). This will normally be quite loud. Be careful that people are not next to speakers and that the power rating of the speakers is high enough to handle full amplifier power. Since the PM-3000 can only control the maximum input signal to an amplifier, the VOL limits are only valid if the external power amplifier volume is not changed.

Note: The system should be completely wired before making any of these adjustments, since the installer will normally want to listen to the output in order to make the adjustment.

1.Enter programming mode and press the NEXT or BACK buttons until VOL LIMIT appears on the display.

2.Press ENT to enter the function.

3.Select the amplifier and input you wish to limit by pressing its selector buttons. The display shows the current amp-input and its current volume limit setting. The 2-digit volume level can range between 00 and 25. The factory default is 25, allowing full volume. Subsequently, the dis- play will show the current setting.

A1/AUXA 25

5. Press the arrow buttons to increase or decrease the volume. The level number will increase or decrease, and the pointer will move left or right in response to the changes made.

Note: Press and hold arrow buttons to effect rapid changes in volume. Quick presses of the buttons will effect single-step changes in volume.
