Monitor Chain connection.

See explanation, at left.

Out

Monitor Chain

The MONITOR CHAIN connector is a 5-pin terminal block connector. Input and output con-

nections are balanced. The center pin is the shield connection for both the input and output

of the monitor chain. Connection is shown at right. The left-most + and - terminals are for

monitor chain input signals, while the right-most terminals are for monitor chain output sig-

nals. When powered down, a relay connects the input to the output, thus bypassing the

BASIS 922az in the monitor chain.

RS-232

The RS-232 is an optional utility serial port for accessing advanced features. Connect to an

available COM port on your PC and communicate using a terminal control program such as

Windows Hyperterminal.

Use a normal serial data cable with a DB-9 male plug to connect to the BASIS 922az. To con-

nect the cable, orient the connector properly, then push into the receptacle until it is firmly

seated; tighten the retaining screws “finger tight”. Communications should be 9600 baud,

no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and flow control Xon/Xoff.

Ports

PORT A through PORT D are QSC DataPorts. When using the BASIS 922az with QSC

DataPort-equipped amplifiers or QSC DSP products (DSP-3, DSP-4) connect to the BASIS

922az using QSC DataPort cables. The 922az supports up to eight channels of DataPort

audio and amplifier status monitoring. This can be four 2-channel amplifiers or one 8-chan-

nel amplifier or other suitable combinations.

To connect the cable, orient the connector properly, then push into the receptacle until it is

firmly seated; tighten the retaining screws “finger tight”.

LED Indicators

When the BASIS 922az is plugged into a properly functioning AC outlet, it will power up and

briefly display a welcome screen on the LCD display.

POWER Indicator- This blue indicator illuminates when the BASIS 922az is plugged into a

properly functioning AC source. There is no power switch on the BASIS 922az. This helps to

prevent accidental system shutdowns.

DIAGNOSTIC Indicator- This red indicator illuminates during the power-on self test, then

should extinguish. If it remains illuminated, this indicates that the self-test has detected an

unexpected event, such as corrupted firmware or a memory boot failure. If the DIAGNOSTIC

LED remains illuminated, try resetting the BASIS 922az by cycling power off and on once.

Should the indication persist, contact QSC’s Technical Services for guidance. During opera-

tion, any system fault will fully illuminate the indicator. During a “flash” update, the indica-

tor will blink on and off; this is normal. Any error detected will be displayed on the LCD. For

purpose of unit identification, the LED can be remotely turned on using QSControl.net soft-

ware.
