Quick Install Procedure
This procedure is provided for those who would like to install the PIP card in the shortest time
possible and are already familiar with Harman Pro System Architect and HiQnet. A more complete
installation procedure is outlined in the installation section.
Prepare the amplifi er:
1. Turn down the level controls of the amplifi er and turn off the amplifi er.
2. Unplug the power cord from the AC mains.
3. Remove the existing PIP or cover from the amplifi er back panel (two screws).
4. On the PIP-USP4-CN, make sure that the input sensitivity switches located inside the
amplifi er are in the 26dB mode (middle) position for both, channel 1 and 2.
Install the PIP module into the amplifi er:
5. Carefully ground yourself to the chassis of the amplifi er before installing the PIP card. It is a
good idea to maintain ground contact between yourself and the amplifi er while inserting the
module into the amplifi er in the next step.
6. Position the PIP module so the ribbon cable connectors located along the back edge on the
underside of the module can be clearly seen. Attach the ribbon cables from the amplifi er to
the ribbon-cable connectors. For PIP-Lite, the 20 pin cable (A) should go to the connector
closest to the corner (J2A) and the 18 pin cable (B) should go to the other connector. For
PIP-USP4-CN, make sure to install the supplied ferrite core to the 18 pin cable (B) before
connecting. The 20 pin cable (A) should go to the connector further inside and away from the
corner (AJ9), and the 18 pin cable should connect to the one closest to the corner (BJ5).
Important: Be careful when attaching the ribbon cable to the connector. Applying pressure
to an improperly seated connector could cause the keying tabs, which ensure proper pin
alignment, to break. Connecting the ribbon cables with improper pin alignment will likely
result in damage to the PIP.
7. With both cables fi rmly attached, turn the PIP back to an upright position. Verify that the
cables run untwisted between the amplifi er and the PIP. Insert the PIP into the amplifi er while
taking care not to crimp, pinch or stretch the ribbon cables.
8. Tighten the two PIP mounting screws until it is secured to the amplifi er back panel, making
sure the supplied star-washers contact the PIP panel for a good ground connection.
9. Make sure the amplifi er is left in Dual mode – Bridging is done via software (USP4-CN only)
Install the wiring:
10. Connect the PIP to the Ethernet network used for control. Each PIP must connect to its own
port on a 100 Megabit Ethernet Switch with a standard straight CAT5 network cable. A 10
Megabit connection will work with the PIP-Lite but is not recommended for systems with a
high number of components. A 10 Megabit connection will not work with the PIP-USP4-CN.
11. Connect the amplifi er back to the AC mains and reset the back panel input attenuators to
the proper levels. For the USP4-CN the input attenuators should be set to wide open, no
attentuation for all the features to function properly.

Installation
Before beginning, please carefully note:
CAUTION: STATIC ELECTRICITY MAY DAMAGE THE UNIT. Use caution
when handling the unit. Carefully ground yourself BEFORE touching the unit. Avoided
unnecessary touching the components or solder pads on the circuit board. It is best to
handle the unit by its front panel only.
Prepare the PIP
The PIP comes ready to install in the amplifi er. This unit does not require setting the “IQ
address” as the older current loop, Crown bus, units did. Each PIP (as well as all network
components) comes preprogrammed with a unique network (MAC) address. The HiQnet
address is then set (automatically or manually) via SystemArchitect control software (TCP/
IP network address).
Prepare the Amplifi er
Turn down the amplifi er level controls (full counterclockwise) and turn off
the amplifi er.
Disconnect the amplifi er’s power cord.
Remove the existing PIP module from the amplifi er back panel (two screws).
Install the PIP into the Amplifi er.
Carefully ground yourself to the chassis of the amplifi er before installing the
PIP, it is a good idea to maintain ground contact between yourself and the amplifi er while
inserting the module into the amplifi er.
Prepare the Cables
Before using the AUX port, and after the PIP-Lite module
has been installed into the amp, make sure to pass the
CAT5 cable twice through the supplied ferrite core.
Important: On CTs3000 and CTs2000 models, make sure to add the supplied ribbon
cable ferrite core to the end of the B cable before connecting to the PIP module. Its location
will be similar to the ferrite on the A cable, with ½ to 1 inch of cable between the connector
and ferrite core. The core is not required on CTs600 and CTs1200 amplifi ers.
Before using the PIP-USP4-CN, after it is installed into the amp, make sure to use ferrite
cores for cables connecting to the Analog, AES, AUX and Network ports as follow:
1. Pass all the Analog Input and Output cables
through a ferrite core (one time).
2. Pass the AES, AUX and Network cables
three (3) times through a ferrite core.
Use a separate core for each the cables.

Wiring Instructions
1. PIP-Lite ONLY: Using a standard CAT5 cable, connect the network connector to a
100 Mb port on an Ethenet switch that is used to form the control network. If the PIP
module is not to be connected to a control network, it can be temporaily connected to
a computer’s Ethernet port with a crossover cable (TX and RX pairs switched) to set up
the PIP module for desired operation.
PIP-USP4-CN ONLY: Using a standard CAT5 cable, connect the network port to
a 100Mb port on the Ethernet switch that is used to form the CobraNet network. We
highly recommend that the CobraNet be a standalone or separate-network LAN.
If network redundancy is required, please reference Crown’s Audio Redundancy
document. HiQnet control is also available over the CobraNet network using Harman
Pro System Architect software.
2. Connect the Audio Input Wiring. The PIP module is equipped with removable barrier
block connectors for each channel’s input. The USP4-CN allows the use of standard
balanced audio inputs to act either as CobraNet backup, an emergency override of
CobraNet audio, or as an audio input to the CobraNet network. The removable barrier
block connectors allows both audio channels to be inserted into the USP4-CN, then
routed via software control.
3. Connect the AUX wiring if used.
4. Reconnect the amplifi er’s power cord.

Advanced Features and Options
Using the AUX Connector
The AUX connector offers a means to tap some of the fl exibility of the Harman Pro System
Architect. It can be used to enable peripherals, send a signal to another system component,
and send a line-level audio signal of the amplifi er’s output.
The AUX connector is an RJ-11 type. Pins 3 and 4 are used as a control output. Pins 2 and
3 function as a control input. Pin 5 is a voltage supply pin for use with the control input.
AUX Input
In its basic input mode, the AUX input allows an external input source to be detected by
the software. This input can be a temperature sensor, door closure switch, or operator
pushbutton. It can be used by the software to change confi guration settings on any or all
system devices. See the Harman Pro System Architect Help fi les for exact information.
Pin 4 of the AUX connector is a power-supply pin designed for use by the AUX input pin.
Since the AUX input fl oats low, the AUX input can be triggered by just a simple switch
closure between it and the AUX power pin. No external power supply is needed to operate
the AUX input under most conditions. If the AUX input is used to sense an externally
supplied voltage it must be scaled so that low inputs are between 0 and 1.6 VDC, and high
inputs are between 4 and 15 VDC. Externally supplied voltages should be referenced to
AUX ground on pin 3.
Both, the PIP-Lite and the PIP-USP4-CN feature AUX input enhance modes. The PIP-Lite
and the USP4-CN supports seven modes. The fi rst six modes allow the AUX input to mute
or power-down either or both channels; the seventh allows for incrementing the preset.
The AUX Input Inversion Control allows either a high or low AUX input to activate these
functions. These modes can be used for emergency mute for a fi re alarm system. A simple
switch closure from the alarm system would disable an entire sound system when a fi re
alarm is activated.

PIP-Lite AUX Output
On the PIP-LIte, the AUX output provides a +15 VDC output, current limited to 10 mA,
which can be switched ON or OFF under software control. Pins 1 and 6 support the
Listen Bus or Foldback feature. In its basic mode, the AUX output can be used to control
auxiliary equipment. To control AC-line-powered equipment the AUX output must
actuate a larger relay. The relay would then turn on the auxiliary equipment.
PIP-USP4-CN AUX Output
The AUX output on USP4-CN provides a relay rated at 1A / 30 VDC, which can be
switched ON or OFF under software control. In its basic mode, the AUX output can
be used to control auxiliary equipment. To control AC-line-powered equipment the
AUX output must actuate a larger relay. The relay would then turn on the auxiliary
equipment.
