Installing the PL-7 Cutting template details
are shown here for mounting the PL-7 into a wall or
furniture. Secure the unit in place using 4x fixing
screws up to 3.5mm diameter. The chassis and plate
are grounded through the PL-Anet cable shield. Check
your installation requirements to see if any additional
safety grounding is needed.
Connecting to PL-Anet PL-Anet is the
proprietary Allen & Heath system for daisy chaining PL
remote controllers. It is an RS485 serial connection
that uses CAT5 STP cable to communicate between
devices over long distances. The connection includes
+20V DC to power the connected devices. Use flame
retardent CAT5 STP (shielded twisted pair) RJ45
cables. The iDR-8 main unit port is shown here.
The PL-7 has underside RJ45 ports for connecting to
PL-Anet. These are recessed so that the cables can be
hidden from view. The IN port connects to the previous
unit in the chain. The OUT port connects to the next
unit, or end of chain termination. As with any RS485
system, the last PL device needs to have a terminating
resistor fitted to its output port. The PL-7 is shipped
with an RJ45 terminator plug with this resistor built in.
If the PL-7 is the only unit or last unit connected make
sure the terminator is plugged into its output port.
Testing the wiring Before powering up
the system make sure all the wiring is inspected and
continuity tested. This is important as wiring errors
may result in damage to the equipment.
If further assistance is required please visit the our web
site www.allen-heath.com
or contact Allen & Heath
technical support in your territory.
Fitting an internal PL device A single wall
plate sized module such as the PL-3 or PL-4 may be
fitted into the PL-7. This adds switch and infra-red
control to the PL-7.
A kit of parts including replacement front panel and
internal cables is available from Allen & Heath , part
number 003-862. Refer to Fitting Instructions sheet
AP7311 that comes with the kit or can be downloaded
from our web site. Note that the internal SW1 and SW2
switches should be set as shown below.
Using the PL-7 Ensure that the iDR PL-Anet
port is enabled with its green ‘active’ LED lit. If not, use
the iDR System Manager software Communications
Option menu to enable the port. Plug in the PL-Anet
cable. The screen should display icons on the toolbar
for each PL device it recognises. If an internal PL
device is fitted then it will be recognised in the chain
before the PL-7. Check that the PL-7 LCD lights up
and displays text. The 2x16 character LCD display is
configured using the iDR System Manager software.
Refer to the Help file that comes with the software.
We hope you enjoy using the PL-7.
