Users Manual IC-R-II INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of a Renkus-Heinz RHAON Empowered digitally steered ICONYX-R-II column loudspeaker. We hope you enjoy it. Your ICONYX IC-R-II steerable column loudspeaker was carefully tested and inspected before leaving our factory and should have arrived in perfect condition. Please carefully inspect the shipping carton(s) and loudspeaker(s) for any noticeable damage, and if any damage is found, immediately notify the shipping company.
IC-R-II Users Manual General Information Your RHAON-Empowered Loudspeaker’s amplifier/DSP stores all configuration settings, including the input source selection, in non-volatile memory. Analog Input 1 has been pre-selected at the factory so you can use the loudspeaker as an ordinary self-powered loudspeaker. Just connect a line level audio signal to Analog Input 1 and connect the AC power.
Users Manual IC-R-II Prepare an assembly area. Each module is 4 feet long, so you need a flat surface at least 8 feet long to assemble an IC16-R-II and 16 feet for an IC32-R-II. We suggest covering the assembly area with a heavy cloth or some other soft material to prevent damaging the finish on the cabinets while assembling them. Avoid resting the modules on their grille. The modules are heavy and may deform the grille. Instead, rest the modules on their sides or back.
Users Manual IC-R-II Plug one end of the 3 conductor AC cable into its mating socket. Make sure it is properly seated. Align the two modules and slide them together, making sure the holes in the heavy joining plates align with the holes in the modules. Install the remaining screws into the joining plates and tighten all the screws. The assembly is now complete. Important: The IC16/8-R-II and IC32/16-R require slightly different cabling between the modules.
Users Manual IC-R-II Address Number Verification All that remains is to verify that the Master and Slave modules are properly identified.. The settings were set at the factory, but it’s always a good idea to check the settings. This is accomplished with the Master/Slave dip switches located on the input panel. See page 55 for a detailed view of the input panel. Normally the bottom module will be the Master and the other modules will be the Slaves numbered 1, 2 & 3 in ascending order.

Users Manual IC-R-II Software Installation P R E PA R AT I O N You need a Windows PC running RHAON software in order to maximize the performance of RHAON-Empowered loudspeakers and your RHAON system. You can use RHAON software during the design stage, for system setup, tuning and commissioning, and for remote control and supervision. You can disconnect the computer from the network after commissioning the system, if you or your client will not be using RHAON’s system supervision capabilities.
Users Manual IC-R-II P R E PA R AT I O N Notice that the program warns you if your display settings may cause viewing problems. If you are using “Large Fonts,” we recommend you change to the default 96 DPI setting to avoid possible viewing problems. The program also includes a number of pop-up messages that alert you to new RHAON features and help guide you though the creation of a successful project.
Users Manual IC-R-II Virtual System Design P R E PA R AT I O N RHAON software can save you time at the job site by enabling you to set up a complete virtual loudspeaker system before you go to the site. When you get to the site, you connect your computer to the RHAON network, link the virtual loudspeakers with their real counterparts, and upload the virtual system settings to each individual loudspeaker.
Users Manual IC-R-II Assigning a Static IP Address to the RHAON Host Computer You need to associate the virtual loudspeakers you have created in RHAON with the actual loudspeakers installed in the system. The first step is to make sure the computer’s Network Interface Card (NIC) is properly setup .
Users Manual IC-R-II P R E PA R AT I O N Before plugging the network connector into your computer’s Ethernet port, you need to make sure that RHAON has the correct network settings. In the RHAON software, go to the Options menu and select “Preferences”. On the General tab, make sure the correct NIC is selected in the Adapter field. The available selections are based on the listing of your network connection you noted earlier. Refer back to page 13.
Users Manual IC-R-II P R E PA R AT I O N Saving Changes Each loudspeaker’s Connect, Control and Supervise Properties window also has a Save button. Pressing the Save button will save the change(s) to the project file and to the associated loudspeaker’s flash memory.. Note that although the changes are being sent to the project file, the project file itself is not being saved.
Users Manual IC-R-II Linking Software Icons with Networked Loudspeakers CONNECT To connect a RHAON network, you first make all the hardware connections, and then (if you are using CobraNet for digital audio distribution) assign signal routing using RHAON software. A typical amplifier input panel is shown on page 55 in Appendix 1. Let’s say you’ve connected all your Ethernet inputs and outputs. Every venue is different, so is every network. For examples of RHAON / CobraNet networks, see Appendix 1.
Users Manual IC-R-II CONNECT Continue until all of the networked loudspeakers are linked to icons in the main workspace. When an icon is linked to a networked loudspeaker, the status indicator under its name changes from Unassigned (Red) to OK (Green). Notice that the directory listing for that loudspeaker also moves from the Network folder to the Speaker folder in the directory tree.
Users Manual IC-R-II Properties Windows CONNECT The three operational modes of RHAON, Connect, Control and Supervise all have their own unique Properties window (see below). Notice that the vertical pane on the left side of each window is identical. The Connect, Control and Supervise tabs at the top of the window allow you to switch between the three operating modes without returning to the main window.
Users Manual IC-R-II The vertical pane in each Properties window provides for loudspeaker identification and selected control features. See below for details. Loudspeakers DSP sample rate (48 kHz or 96 kHz). See Appendix lll for more details. Power On/Standby button. Turns amplifier On or places it in Standby. Turning AC power to the Array On and Off is a separate operation. Text fields for entering a name for the loudspeaker and listing its location.
Users Manual IC-R-II Assigning Digital and Analog Inputs CONNECT The larger right portion of the Properties windows vary with the operating mode. The Connect window is divided into an upper light grey Internal DSP Connections section and and a darker grey lower CobraNet Routing Assignments section.
Users Manual IC-R-II CobraNet Signal Routing 0: 1 thru 255: 256 thru 65,279: CONNECT CobraNet devices transmit and receive digital audio (48 or 96 kHz, 16, 20 or 24 bit) in bundles of up to 8 channels. The number of channels per bundle can vary, depending on settings for latency and resolution. The number of bundles available depends on network bandwidth. Each CobraNet bundle has a number from the following ranges: Disables the receiver or transmitter.
Users Manual IC-R-II CONNECT The next step is to connect the CobraNet Source Transmitters to the CobraNet Receivers in the RHAON loudspeakers. Double click on one of the Source’s green Tx triangles and then double click on one of the loudspeaker’s red Rx triangles to connect the two. A connection line will let you know the connection was completed. The loudspeaker’s Receiver automatically inherits the bundle settings of the Source Transmitter.
Users Manual IC-R-II Beam Steering CONNECT Iconyx IC-R-II digitally steered arrays produce tightly focused, precisely aimed beams of acoustic energy that maintain their intensity well over long distances. The FIR files that shape and aim these beams of energy are created within RHAON under Beam Steering and then either stored as a Preset or loaded into the array’s DSP.
Users Manual IC-R-II The opening Beam Steering window displays the setup criteria and the beam’s aiming angle and focal point. CONNECT It does not map (calculate and display) the Array’s beam until the Calculate Mapping button is pressed. You’ll find it in the Mapping setup section on the right side of the screen. The Mapping section controls the calculation’s frequency, bandwidth and weighting. Note the four control buttons in the lower right corner of the Beam Steering window.
Users Manual To check or change the setting, right click in the center of the beam steering window or select Preferences from the Options pull down menu in the tool bar section of the RHAON window. If you want to change from feet to meters, click in the Metric radio button. CONNECT Before going on you should first verify that the correct measurement system is being used (feet or meters). The default measurement system is feet but you may want to use meters.
Users Manual IC-R-II CONNECT You should know the physical dimensions of the area(s) you want to cover, so the next logical step is to set up the audience area(s) using the Audience Area section on the right side of the Beam Steering screen. To simplify this step, Beam Steering provides five templates, the Standard one used as the default starting point and four others; Small Arena, Large Arena, Open Air and Theater. These templates are available by clicking on the Area Presets button.
Users Manual IC-R-II The Normalize Beam EQ instructs Beamware to apply a normalized EQ curve to the FIR filters and reduces the amount of EQ that will be needed during final commissioning. Some users, however, prefer to do all the EQ themselves so this feature can be turned off. See Preferences on page 25). .
Users Manual IC-R-II Now, let’s investigate the multiple beam capabilities of Iconyx. CONNECT In many installations, a single beam is the ideal solution for the room’s acoustical challenges. In some cases, however, multiple beams are needed to provide the desired coverage. Rooms with a balcony are a good example; in most cases a single beam can’t cover both the main floor and the balcony. One solution is two line arrays, one for the floor and the other for the balcony, but this is expensive.
Users Manual CONNECT Now that we understand the basics of using beam steering, it’s time to investigate another one of the unique tools beam steering includes to make life easier for you. It’s called AutoFocus. You’ll find it in the IC Configuration section next to Beams. IC-R-II Auto-Focus can save you lots of time especially if you are working with a large system or an All Master System. We highly recommend you use it. Clicking on Auto-Focus will open the setup window shown to the right.
Users Manual IC-R-II CONNECT The next graphic shows a room with a 75 feet deep audience area with an IC16-R-II array. Note that the single beam is placed near the bottom of the array and the opening angle at 20 degrees. The next graphic is of the same room after Auto-Focus has been applied. Note that Auto-Focus has lowered the acoustic center and is suggesting 2 beams, a narrow 10 degree beam and a 15 degree beam.
Users Manual IC-R-II In the beam steering window, select either Send to Working Memory or Save to Preset. The two commands are in the lower right of the beam steering window. Send to Working Memory will send the beam steering settings direct to the array’s DSP and write over any previous settings. Save to Preset will store the beam settings in the designated Preset. Note that the Beam Steering Presets control only the beam steering data; EQ, compression, etc.
Users Manual IC-R-II CONNECT Selection of the desired Preset is controlled on the Array’s control panel by the three push buttons located directly below the digital readout. The Preset Up and Preset Down buttons are used to select the desired Preset and the Enter button used to enter the selection into the DSP. The readout display will flash while the selected Preset’s configuration settings are being entered into the DSP and return to a steady glow when the procedure is complete.
Users Manual IC-R-II The buttons located below the white Preset Listing area provide for a variety of functions. The Delete Preset erases the selected Preset and the Delete All button erases all of the Presets. The Reset Array button restores the Arrays DSP and beam steering settings to their original default settings. CONNECT The Load Preset button loads the selected Preset into the associated array’s working memory.
IC-R-II Users Manual CONTROL CONTROL MODE Control Mode provides access to the Loudspeaker Amplifier’s internal DSP and allows you to control its settings. You can enter Control Mode by clicking on the Control button at the top of the main workspace, or from within any loudspeaker’s Properties window. Any or all of the Control functions can be restricted to authorized operators who have password access; more information on password authorization can be found in the Supervise Mode section of this manual.
Users Manual IC-R-II On the right side of the Control Properties window, in the upper dark grey section, you will see a frequency response graph. Underneath it are controls for 12 filters. To select a filter, click the button above its white data fields; then either type in your values, use the up-down arrows or scroll with your mouse to adjust the parameters. At the far left is a high pass filter; its low pass counterpart is at the far right.
Users Manual IC-R-II CONTROL Priority Override is one of the unique features of RHAON. It allows you to assign signal-activated priority override capabilities to any one of the array’s multiple inputs. The Priority Override controls in the lower right section of the properties window allow you to set the Attach Time, the Hold Time, the Release Time and the Threshold Level.
Users Manual IC-R-II Add Group Add Array All Loudspeakers Icon Nw it’s time to turn our attention to the All Loudspeakers icon in the upper left of the work space and to the Array and Group features of RHAON. CONTROL All Loudspeakers, Array and Group Control All Loudspeakers controls all the arrays in the system while Group controls only loudspeakers included in the Group.
Users Manual IC-R-II CONTROL Double clicking on the Group icon will open the Connect Properties folder. Notice that the Group Connect window shown here is very similar to the one for individual loudspeakers except for the lack of level meters and CobraNet channel selection facilities. In the dark grey area on the left are Power, Wink with Light and Wink with Audio buttons.
Users Manual IC-R-II Copy Settings / Copy Presets Right clicking on one of the Array Icons while in either the Connect or Control mode introduces a pop up menu that includes a Copy Settings command line. Selecting Copy Settings copies all that array’s DSP settings, including Presets and allows you to copy these settings to another array by selecting its Icon and using Paste Settings. CONTROL Copy Settings / Copy Presets is a useful RHAON feature that can save you significant time on many projects.
Users Manual IC-R-II SUPERVISE RHAON’s Supervise mode is the one you will use most while your system is in operation (i.e., making sound). It is designed to empower system operators with a comprehensive set of monitoring and loudspeaker/amplifier management tools. In Supervise mode, you can quickly detect a problem anywhere in the system and (if you have access to the appropriate Control mode functions) take corrective action.
Users Manual IC-R-II The loudspeaker icons on the right each have “traffic light” status indicators; green is for all OK and red is for driver failure. Yellow indicates the driver has repeatedly been driven far enough into limiting that its normal life span may have been reduced. The traffic light conditions are mirrored in the status field of the supervise icons. Driver conditions are dynamically supervised with program material but an additional test button can confirm coil status.
Users Manual IC-R-II Event Logging & Notification SUPERVISE RHAON’s Event Logging function can record in a .log file events of the types you select. This allows the system’s operating status to be reviewed at any time. Audio evacuation and life safety systems are often required to provide this type of logging. To activate this feature, go to Options in RHAON’s main tool bar and select Preferences; then open the Event Logging folder.
Users Manual IC-R-II General Preferences Unit System allows you to change the units of temperature from Metric (Centigrade) to Imperial (Fahrenheit). Under Group Settings, you can set up a Power On Sequencing Delay for all grouped loudspeakers. This will help avoid a voltage surge that can trip building circuit breakers. Depending on the delay interval you select, there will be a .5, 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0 millisecond turn-on delay between each amplifier in the Group.
Users Manual IC-R-II Password Protection SUPERVISE RHAON software includes three levels of password protection. This features is designed to prevent inadvertent changes of Connect and Control Mode settings by anyone who is unauthorized or unfamiliar with the system. To open the Password Protection setup window shown below, press Control-Alt-p. You can set up three levels of control access. They are called Designer, Operator and Supervisor. Each access level should have its own password.
Users Manual IC-R-II SUPERVISE Clicking on the Access Detail tab opens the window shown below. Its settings determine what control features will be available to “Operators” and “Supervisors”. These settings are themselves password protected and can only be changed by a Designer.
IC-R-II Users Manual INSTALLATION GENERAL INfORMATION Your Iconyx column array was designed to be easy to install on either a flat surface such as a wall or suspended from a ceiling. Note that it was not designed to be mounted in the wall or in an alcove. The amplifiers are convection cooled and their heat sinks require at least an inch of separation from the nearest surface.
Users Manual IC-R-II IMPORTANT MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: THIS APPARATUS MUST BE SECURELY ATTACHED TO THE WALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN INJURY. Do not stand the loudspeaker upright or lay it on its side on the floor. To ensure proper air movement for the cooling of the amplifier module, we recommend a minimum of 2 to 3 feet of clearance in front of the loudspeaker and 1 inch of clearance from the other cabinet surfaces.
Users Manual IC-R-II INSTALLATION (continued) - Locate stud in wall and mark outside edges of stud. - Determine the desired height of the loudspeaker and mark the location of the male mounting plates. - Using a male mounting plate as a template, align two of the mounting holes with the center of the stud. - Mark points on the wall in the centre of the holes where mounting screws will be positioned.
Users Manual IC-R-II SUSPENSION MOUNTING (FLYING) The end caps of the column array are attached to the main frame with four metric M6 machine screws. Removing these screws and replacing them with eye bolts provides up to four attachment points for flying. We recommend using all four. If only 2 are used the column will not hang straight. It will either tilt up or down.
Users Manual IC-R-II APPENDIX I: Audio Evacuation & Life Safety Functions Although not certified as a “Life Safety” system, RHAON has been designed to meet the stringent requirements of most Audio Evacuation / Life Safety system specifications. Since “Life Safety” requirements vary widely from country to country and from one locality to another, we strongly recommend you contact your local authorities for an opinion before proposing a RHAON system for any Life Safety application.
Users Manual IC-R-II APPENDIX II: RHAON Block Diagrams CobraNet The drawing below shows the signal paths for a RHAON system using CobraNet digital audio distribution. Except for the analog audio input line to the CobraNet Converter, all audio signal runs are standard CAT5 cables. The network is a standard Ethernet star topology. CobraNet does not permit looping or “daisy chaining” from amplifier to amplifier. The maximum CAT5 cable length between devices is 100 Meters (approximately 325 feet).
Users Manual IC-R-II APPENDIX II: RHAON Block Diagrams CobraNet With Analog Backup The block diagram below shows a combination system combining CobraNet with analog audio distribution and RHAON loudspeaker control and monitoring. Notice that the analog audio wiring loops (is daisy chained) from loudspeaker to loudspeaker. Typical wiring diagram for a system having both analog and CobraNet audio distribution plus loudspeaker control and monitoring. Notes 1.
Users Manual IC-R-II APPENDIX II: RHAON Block Diagrams Serial Digital (AES3 aka AES/EBU) The block diagram below shows a RHAON system using digital audio distribution in the AES3 format along with RHAON loudspeaker control and monitoring. Notice that the wiring loops from loudspeaker to loudspeaker just as it does in analog distribution. The digital audio distribution line is conventional twisted pair shielded digital audio cable, Beldon 1800B or 1800F or equivalent. Notes 1.
Users Manual IC-R-II Appendix II: Block Diagrams IC-R-IIC1 Remote Preset Control Notes 1. The IC-R-IIC1 provides preset control for either 1 or 2 IC-R-II arrays. When used to control only one array, the array should be connected to pins 1,2 & 3 on the IC-R-IIC1. 2. The remote preset control mounts on any standard 2-gang electrical outlet box and operates on low voltage DC. The maximum cable length is 500 feet. 3.
Users Manual IC-R-II Appendix III: ICONYX-R Hardware Inputs, Outputs & Indicators, Dimensions To connect an IC-R-II array to the RHAON network, you first make the hardware connections, and then (if you are using CobraNet for digital audio distribution) assign signal routing using RHAON software. Since all Ethernet connections are made using RJ45 connectors and Cat5 cable, the network infrastructure is cost-effective and easy to install.
Users Manual IC-R-II APPENDIX IV: KEEPING YOUR RHAON PROGRAM UP-TO-DATE Updating Your Current Installation of RHAON New program versions of RHAON are posted on the Renkus-Heinz website, www.renkus-heinz.com, as soon as they are created. We recommend updating to the latest version only if the newer version has features that you need, such as an expanded listing of RenkusHeinz loudspeakers. In other words, follow the “if it isn’t broke, don’t try to fix it” policy.
Users Manual IC-R-II APPENDIX IV: KEEPING YOUR RHAON PROGRAM UP-TO-DATE Updating Your Current Installation of RHAON (continued) To update your RHAON program go to www.renkus-heinz.com and click on RHAON in the left hand menu to open the link to the REHAON Home page and to the latest RHAON program version; see below.
Users Manual IC-R-II APPENDIX IV: KEEPING YOUR RHAON PROGRAM UP-TO-DATE Updating Microcontroller and DSP Firmware The latest Microcontroller and DSP firmware files were installed in your loudspeaker before it was shipped to you. They contain the program that runs the DSP microcontroller and the loudspeaker specific control files for the associated loudspeaker.

These files contain the loudspeaker specific EQ, crossover and protection settings for the loudspeaker and are updated from time to time as the firmware is improved.
Users Manual IC-R-II APPENDIX IV: KEEPING YOUR RHAON PROGRAM UP-TO-DATE Updating DSP Firmware (Continued) Step 3: Wait for the Firmware transfer to complete. When finished, control will be returned to the dialog window. Select “Done”.
Users Manual IC-R-II APPENDIX V: USING THIRD PARTY CONTROLLERS Operating Iconyx IC-R-II Digitally Steerable Arrays with External Controllers IC-R-II digitally steerable arrays include a RS485 port for communication to and from external third party control devices, such as those made by Crestron. This allows these third party devices to control IC-R-II arrays just as you control them from your computer.
Users Manual IC-R-II APPENDIX V: USING THIRD PARTY CONTROLLERS (continued) Operating Iconyx IC-R-II Digitally Steerable Arrays with External Controllers Transferring control of the array back to your computer can only be done from the external control device or from your computer using RHAON.. To do so from RHAON, you will need a USB-to-RS485 adapter such as the Renkus-Heinz model RS485-ADAPT. .
Users Manual IC-R-II SERVICING and TROUBLE SHOOTING GENERAL INFORMATION Your Iconyx ICL-R steerable column array contains no user-serviceable parts and all service should be referred to qualified service personnel. Great care was taken in its design, however, to allow it to be serviced in the field without being removed from its mounting position. The transducers can be replaced from the front of the column by removing the grille to expose the transducers and their mounting screws.
Users Manual IC-R-II SERVICING and TROUBLE SHOOTING (Continued) Gated or Chopped Audio The Analog 1 input is receiving a signal, but some other input has been selected in the RHAON Connect tab. As a trouble shooting aid, the Analog 1 input will always pass audio if the signal exceeds a threshold level even if some other input is selected. The solution is to select Analog 1 as the input or disconnect the analog 1 input signal line.
Users Manual IC-R-II SERVICING and TROUBLE SHOOTING (Continued) Lesson 2: Packet Addressing On a Local Area Network (LAN), packets are addressed by the Media Access Control (MAC) address of the network device. MAC addresses are “burnt-in” by the manufacturer of your network device (computer network card, RHAON loudspeaker, etc.) and are globally unique. This is like the VIN on your car. No matter where you register your car, the VIN stays the same and is unlike that for any other vehicle worldwide.
Users Manual IC-R-II SERVICING and TROUBLE SHOOTING (Continued) RHAON Network Manager To activate the RHAON Network Manager open RHAION and select Network Manager from the File pull down menue. The Network Manager will scan the Ethernet network, list all the CobranNet devices it found on the network and identify them by name, MAC and IP numbers. It also checks for communication errors (dropped packets).
IC-R-II Users Manual SERVICING and TROUBLE SHOOTING (Continued) Symptom: RHAON reports “No CobraNet Devices found.” 1. Are you trying to use a Wi-Fi connection? You can’t use a Wi Fi connection with RHAON. Wi-Fi doesn’t have sufficient bandwidth to handle Cobranet and RHAON, so you will need to switch to a wired\ Ethernet connection. 2. Has a private IP address been set up on the computers Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC)? To check: a.
Users Manual IC-R-II SERVICING and TROUBLE SHOOTING (Continued) If these settings are correct and you still receive the ‘No CobraNet Device Found” error message; 4. In RHAON select the File pull down menu and select the Network Manager. Wait for a minute or two,to see if a list of the RHAON/CobraNet devices on the network appears. If it doesn’t something is blocking the CobraNet packets or you have a network problem. a. Disable any third-party software firewalls and network security software.
Users Manual IC-R-II SERVICING and TROUBLE SHOOTING (Continued) 3. Check for split pairs. A split pair cable will drop packets even if the cable is only 2 meters long. The incorrect wiring example shown below represents a split pair. CORRECT WIRING Pins 1 & 2 = 1 pair Pins 3 & 6 = 1 pair Pins 4 & 5 = 1 pair Pins 7 & 8 = 1 pair INCORRECT WIRING (Split Pair) Pins 1 & 2 = 1 pair Pins 3 & 4 = 1 pair Pins 5 & 6 = 1 pair Pins 7 & 8 = 1 pair 4. Re-make the RJ45 connector.
Users Manual IC-R-II SERVICING and TROUBLE SHOOTING (Continued) 4. Has the interconnect ribbon cable been accidently pinched between the cabinets? If so, it may be damaged and needs to be replaced. 5. Try Restarting the unit by pressing the Restart button. Double click on the the array’s icon and press the Restart button when the properties window opens. Symptom: Both the green and amber LEDs on one of my device’s Ethernet port are flashing; on all other devices only the green LED is flashing. 1.
Users Manual IC-R-II SERVICING and TROUBLE SHOOTING (Continued) Symptom: I have to wait 10-20s for my device to be “connected” and traffic to begin when connecting my loudspeaker to the switch. 1. Your switch may have Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) turned on. STP prevents accidental looping in your network topology, but unfortunately needs to run an analysis on any new connection before it is deemed OK to be “on”.
Users Manual IC-R-II SERVICING and TROUBLE SHOOTING (Continued) AUDIO FAILURE PROBLEMS Symptom: One of my Iconyx / IC Live arrays has been working fine, but now it seems to be dead; it isn’t passing any audio. What can I do? The first thing to do would be to check the network connection. Use RHAON to scan the network. If you can see the array on the network, drag it into the RHAON work space. If it Sync’s the network connection is OK. 1. If you can’t see it, check your network setup.
IC-R-II Users Manual SERVICING and TROUBLE SHOOTING (Continued) Check the Microcontroller version installed on the array (the version number is shown in the RHAON Supervisory window) and if it is earlier than version 2.43 update to the latest version. Please call our technical support staff before updating the firmware. They will be glad to walk you through the update process.
