X-Rack Installation and Operation

When Remote Mode is set to MIDI (‘m1’), the ‘soft’ controls on the XR622 Master module may be remotely operated as MIDI controls. The Master module controls will continue to function until a valid MIDI packet has been received, after which all of the ‘soft’ controls will be locked out – operating these controls under these conditions will result in an ‘re’ message on the X-Rack display. Which MIDI channels and controls are used is set through the MIDI learn process (see above).

Note.

Setting Remote Mode to MIDI will disable the AWS 900 Total Recall connection.

Address Setting (ad)

 

 

 

 

If more than one X-Rack is to be connected to an AWS 900 then each must have a different address. Enter

 

Address mode and turn the D-Pot so the display reads ‘a1’, ‘a2’, ‘a3’ or ‘a4’ then press the D-Pot to save

 

the address:

or

or

or

 

 

The order of addressing is not important, but we recommend you address the racks in the order they are connected to the AWS 900. This will increase the chances of data being correctly mapped if you move to a different facility.

4.4.6Test Mode (te)

This mode is used for testing the front panel switches and LEDs.

There are three test modes available, selected using the D-Pot as for the other Setup functions:

Test LEDs (tl)

This toggles the bi-colour LEDs above the pots between red and green.

Test Switches (t5) This m ode flashes all th e chan nel switch LEDs. Pressin g any switc h (apart from SEL)

should make the cor responding LED flash out of time with the other LEDs on the front panel.

Pressing a SEL switch should light the corresponding LED.

Pressing any of the switches on the TR computer section should flash the corresponding LED. Pressing the D-Pot should turn off the flashing ‘Empty’ LED and flash the ‘Wr Prot’ LED.

Test Pots (tp)

This mo de scans all t he modules from the top left to the bottom right o f the unit and

displays the value of the last rotary control not turned fully counter clockwise. If all controls are turned counter clockwise then the display shows ‘tp’.

To use this diagnostic first turn all controls fully counter clockwise. The module SEL LEDs will flash on all modules with a c ontrol not in the correct position and the individual pot LEDs will ligh t green on all controls not in the correct position. Turning any control should make the display change from ’02’ to ‘255’. Note that ‘02’ is the lowest value that can be read before the pot is skipped.

The decimal points on the two displays are used to show numbers greater than ‘99’. The left hand decimal point lights to indicate that you should add a 100 to the displayed value and both decimal points light to show that you should add 200 to the displayed value, hence:

101’ will display like this:

whilst ‘201’ will display like this:
