68 Chapter 9: Setting Up The System
XL8 Control Centre
Quick Reference Guide
>> To switch off the XL8 Control Centre
1 Make sure you have saved any shows, scenes or settings you require (see
“Saving your show files to a USB memory stick” on page 56).
2 At the GUI, choose homePreferencesShutdown System.
3 At the Shutdown ENTIRE system? prompt, click OK. This initiates the
shutdown down sequence.
During the shutdown sequence the GUI screens will shutdown and all of the LCD
select buttons on the control surface will turn red. To inform you of the shutdown
status, the LCD select buttons in the input bays and VCA/POP group sections will
also display individual and contiguous text messages, respectively.
When the shutdown sequence has finished the LCD select buttons on the control
surface will turn green, and the appropriate ones will also display text messages,
accordingly.
Important:
During the shutdown sequence, when the LCD select buttons on the
control surface are red, do not switch off the mains power supply, and
when they are green, it is OK to switch off the mains power supply.
4 Make sure that the shutdown sequence has finished, and then switch off the five
bay mains on/off isolator switches (rear of control centre), one at a time.
5 Disconnect the two mains PowerCon® connectors from the PowerCon® sockets
on rear of XL8 Control Centre. To unlock them, twist by about 90° (1/4 turn)
anti-clockwise.
Setting up the ID of the DL4n1 units
After connecting up your XL8 network system, you will need to set up the ID of the
DL431 Mic Splitter, DL451 Modular I/O and DL471 DSP units (if they don’t already have
the ID you want). This is done via the control panel of the unit — the following diagram
shows the control panel of a DL451 Modular I/O. Each unit’s ID number is shown on its
default display.
To change the ID number there is no need to switch on the XL8 Control Centre, as the
procedure can be carried out offline.
The unit ID set up procedure, which is basically the same for each type of unit, is as
follows:
• Enter the main menu. (On the DL431 Mic Splitter and DL451 Modular I/O units
press and hold down for approximately two seconds, and on the DL471 DSP unit
press the down arrow.)
• Use the up/down arrow buttons to go the ID option and then press SELECT.
• Use the up/down arrow buttons to go to the ID number you want and then press
SELECT.
• To exit the menu, pressing MENU.
For more information, refer to the operator manual for the particular unit.
