Quick Install Procedure
This procedure is provided for those who are already familiar with Crown’s IQ System and
who would like to install the IQ–P.I.P.-MEM in the shortest time possible. Less experienced
installers or those wishing a full explanation of the installation procedure are encouraged to
go to Section 4 where the full installation procedure is described.
Prepare the IQ–P.I.P.-MEM:
1. Set the IQ address switch SW1 (see Figures 4.1 and 4.2) on the IQ–P.I.P.-MEM to
an unused IQ address. (Tip: Record the IQ address on the small blank label that is
provided on lower right corner of the PIP™ panel.)
2. Set the input switches S1 and S2 (see Figures 4.3 and 4.4) for the desired input gain
and, if a microphone input is desired, phantom power. (Tip: Record the input setting
on the small blank label that is provided on lower right corner of the PIP panel.)
3. Set jumpers JP4 and JP5. Set both jumpers JP4 and JP5 to the “OUT” position if
either a PIP2-compatible amplifier (such as the Com-Tech10 Series or Macro-Tech
02 Series) will be used. Both JP4 and JP5 should be set to the “IN” position for all
other amplifiers.
Prepare the amplifier:

1 Welcome
The I
Q–P.I.P.-MEM
monitor and control capabilities to
your Crown PIP™ (programmable input processor) and PIP2-compatible
amplifiers.
An IQ2-series component, the IQ–
P.I.P.-MEM support Crown’s UCODE
protocol and requires an IQ System
with an IQ2-compatible IQ Interface
(such as IQ-INT V2.00). UCODE
(universal code) enables users and
third parties to develop custom software objects to control and monitor
IQ2-compatible components like the
IQ–P.I.P.-MEM.
The IQ–P.I.P.-MEM connects the amplifier to the Crown Bus of an IQ System so the amplifier can be controlled and monitored. It is powered
by the amplifier and includes a
microprocesser with a memory
backup feature that enables the amplifier to resume operation with all of
its IQ settings in tact after a power
outage.
This manual will help you successfully install your unit. We strongly recommend that you read all the instructions, warnings and cautions
contained within. Also for your protection, please send in the warranty
registration card today and save the
bill of sale since it is your official
proof of purchase.

C. Reset Switch
A multifunction reset switch is provided to restore the IQ–P.I.P.-MEM
to a prior state. It can be depressed with a straightened paper
clip through the small hole in the
PIP panel. Press the reset switch
for less than 2 seconds and all settings, except the amplifier model
scale factors, will be reset with
“user default” parameters and the
DSPI will flash once. (If no “user
default” settings have been stored,
the unit will be reset to the “factory
default” settings described next.)
Press the reset switch for more
than 2 seconds and the same settings will be reset with “factory default” parameters and the DSPI will
flash twice. After the unit has been
reset to the factory default settings,
it will behave like a standard P.I.P.FX until it is reprogrammed by an
IQ System or it is toggled to the
“user default” settings.
D. AUX Connector
A 3-pin male mini XLR connector is
provided to control auxiliary equipment. When the AUX feature is
turned on, +15 VDC is provided
across pin 1 (gnd) and pin 3 (+). A
nominal current of 10 mA is available. The AUX connector also includes a high-impedance input that
can sense logic signals.
E. DSPI
The DSPI is a Data Signal Presence
Indicator which flashes whenever a
valid IQ command has been received. The indicator can also be
forced to stay on to aid rapid
troubleshooting of the Crown Bus
wiring.
F. Crown Bus Input Connector
A lockable 5-pin female DIN connector is provided for input connection to the Crown Bus. A mating
Switchcraft 502 series connector
can be ordered from Crown (part C

is positive (+), and pin 3 is ground
(gnd). Pins 4 and 5 are not used.
G. Crown Bus Output
Connector
A lockable 4-pin female DIN connector is used for output connection to the Crown Bus. A mating
Switchcraft 502 series connector
can be ordered from Crown (part
C 7777-3). Pin 1 is negative (–) and
pin 2 is positive (+). Pins 3 and 4
are not used.
H. Input Switches (S1, S2)
An 8-section DIP switch is used to
configure each input. These
switches are located on the bottom
circuit board. S1 configures the input of Channel 1 and S2 configures
the input of Channel 2. The
switches activate a microphone
preamp and enable phantom
power. The preamp can be turned
off (0 dB gain) or set to either 20 or
40 dB of gain. See Section 4.1.
I. PIP Edge Connector
The gold-plated edge connector of
the top IQ circuit board inserts into
the PIP connector inside the back
of the amplifier. Use care when installing a PIP module to be certain
that the edge connector is properly
inserted into the amplifier’s PIP connector.
Reference Manual
Page 11
IQ–P.I.P.-MEM Programmable Input Processor for IQ Systems
J. Amplifier Output Pad
Jumpers (JP4, JP5)
These jumpers enable the circuitry
that pads the output signal feeding
the IQ–P.I.P.-MEM so it can be
properly scaled. Factory default
setting for these jumpers is the
“OUT” position as marked on the
digital circuit board. Switch to the
“IN” position whenever the unit is
installed into a PIP-style amplifier.
K. PIP2 SIP Sockets (RN1,
RN2)
These eight-pin SIP (single in-line
package) resistors are provided
for full PIP2 compatibility. IQ–
P.I.P.-MEM-PIP2 modules (required for PIP2-compatible amplifiers) should come with the SIP networks already installed. The SIP
networks are not required and
should be absent on standard IQ–
P.I.P.-MEM modules.
L. IQ Circuit Board (Top)
The top circuit board contains the
IQ communication circuitry, including the IQ address switch (SW1),
amplifier output pad jumpers (JP4,
JP5), PIP2 SIP resistors (RN1, RN2)
and the PIP edge connector.
M. Audio Circuit Board
(Bottom)
The bottom circuit board contains
the audio analog circuitry, including the input switches (S1, S2).
N. IQ Address Switch (SW1)
An 8-section DIP switch is used to
set the IQ address of the unit (see
Section 4.1). This switch is located
on the top circuit board. Each IQ
component on a Crown Bus is
given a unique IQ address so it can
be independently controlled and
monitored. Two or more IQ components of the same type should
NEVER have the same address on
the same Crown Bus loop.
