1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Be sure to read the instructions in this section carefully before use.
Make sure to observe the instructions in this manual as the conventions of safety symbols and messages
regarded as very important precautions are included.
We also recommend you keep this instruction manual handy for future reference.
Safety Symbol and Message Conventions
Safety symbols and messages described below are used in this manual to prevent bodily injury and property damage which could result from mishandling. Before operating your product, read this manual first so you are thoroughly aware of the potential safety hazards as well as understand the safety symbols and messages.
When Installing the Unit
Do not expose the unit to rain or an environment where it may be splashed by water or other liquids, as doing so may result in fire or electric shock.
Use the unit only with the voltage specified on the unit. Using a voltage higher than that which is specified may result in fire or electric shock.
Do not cut, kink, otherwise damage nor modify the power supply cord. In addition, avoid using the power cord in close proximity to heaters, and never place heavy objects -- including the unit itself -- on the power cord, as doing so may result in fire or electric shock.
When the Unit is in Use
If you detect smoke or a strange smell coming from
the unit during use, immediately switch off the power and disconnect the power supply plug from the AC outlet. Then, contact your nearest TOA dealer. Make no further attempt to operate the unit in this condition as this may cause fire or electric shock.
To prevent a fire or electric shock, never open nor remove the unit case as there are high voltage components inside the unit. Refer all servicing to
your nearest TOA dealer.
Do not place cups, bowls, or other containers of liquid or metallic objects on top of the unit. If they accidentally spill into the unit, this may cause a fire or electric shock.
When Installing the Unit
Never plug in nor remove the power supply plug with wet hands, as doing so may cause electric shock.
When unplugging the power supply cord, be sure to grasp the power supply plug; never pull on the cord itself. Operating the unit with a damaged power supply cord may cause a fire or electric shock.
Avoid installing the unit in humid or dusty locations,
in locations exposed to the direct sunlight, near the heaters, or in locations generating sooty smoke or steam as doing otherwise may result in fire or electric shock.
When the Unit is in Use
Switch off the power, and unplug the power supply
plug from the AC outlet for safety purposes when cleaning or leaving the unit unused for 10 days or more. A fire or electric shock may result.
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could result in death or serious personal injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could result in moderate or minor personal injury, and/or property
damage.

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The DI-1616 is a dedicated interface unit for the power amplifiers P-1030D, P-1060D, P-1090D, IP-300D, IP-450D and IP-600D. The power amplifiers' operating conditions and signal levels can be monitored and adjusted at the personal computer. The P-1030D, P-1060D and P-1090D require an interface module which is optionally available.
3. FEATURES
Operating status can be monitored and signal levels adjusted for up to 16 channels (8 power amplifiers) per unit.
Different memory patterns can be stored in 16 built-in memories. By calling up one of the memory patterns through control from a personal computer or from the DP-0202, DP-0204 (both digital processors) or DX­0808 matrix unit, signal levels can be changed for each connected amplifier.
The unit, DP-0202, DP-0204, and DX-0808 can be connected and controlled as an integrated system through the RS-485 control line.
Wide operating voltage range of 90-250 VAC.
4. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
Either an optional dedicated module IF-101S or IF-101X is required when using the P-1030D, P-1060D or P-1090D.
To monitor and control the power amplifiers at the computer, dedicated software is required. For the software, contact your nearest TOA dealer.
Switch on the power after completing all connector connections.
Avoid installing the unit directly above the power amplifier in the equipment rack, in locations where the unit is exposed to the sunlight, or in humid or dusty locations because the unit may fail.
The DI-1616 is a precision equipment. Do not give a shock or vibration to it.
5. NOTES ON PERSONAL COMPUTER SOFTWARE
Computer software for the unit is common to the control software for the DP-0202, DP-0204, and DX-0808. However, be sure to use the software of Version 2.0 or greater (usable on Windows 95/98 and Windows NT4.0).

Unit number/port setting DIP switch [PORT/UNIT ID SET]
Two DIP switches are provided to set unit numbers. The RS-232 communications port located in the compartment can be used when the two switches are set for [0][0], and the rear-mounted RS-485 communications port (XLR connector) when the switches are set for a number other than [0][0]. For the unit number and DIP switch settings, refer to p. 8 "8. UNIT NUMBER AND COMMUNICATIONS PORT SETTINGS".
Master unit indicator [MASTER]
This port employs a 9-pin D-sub connector for the RS-232C communications and is used when connecting a personal computer directly. This port can be used only when DIP switches are set for [0][0]. For its connection, refer to p. 6 "7. PERSONAL COMPUTER CONNECTIONS".
