FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION

 

SIGNAL LEDs:

 illuminate green 34 dB before clipping.

 

SENSITIVITY controls:

 vary incoming signal levels to the A to D converter. The output signal is also adjusted so the AD

22B always passes signal with unity gain. 

(See operating instructions.)

 

CLIP LEDs:

 illuminate red 4 dB before clipping at the A to D converter input.

 

BYPASS buttons & LEDs:

 These momentary push buttons toggle each Channel’s hard-wired Bypass. If an LED is 

on,

 the

given Channel is Bypassed and functions like a wire. If it is 

off

 the given channel is active.

 

STORE LED: 

flashes green when the current configuration of the AD 22B is different from the stored configuration. The

STORE  LED is 

off

 when the current configuration matches the stored configuration.

 

STORE button:

 Stores the current Delay configuration into both Channel’s current Memory (A or B). The current Memory

for each Channel is indicated by the MEMORY LED which is lit when editing that Channel.

 

MEMORY LEDs: 

indicate the most recently recalled Memory, A or B, for each Channel by illuminating yellow. They also

indicate the Memory that is written to when the STORE button is pressed. The MEMORY LED flashes when the 

current

Delay value for the selected Channel is 

different

 than the 

stored

 value for the selected Channel.

  

RECALL button: 

Pressing this pushbutton alternately Recalls stored Memories A and B, for the Channels(s) indicated by

the green CHAN LEDs.

 

CHANNEL LEDs: 

indicate the Channel number whose value is currently being displayed in the LED display and whose

current Delay value is editable by illuminating green. If 

both 

CHAN LEDs are 

on

, both Channel’s current Delay values are

editable. In this edit BOTH mode, the LED display shows the 

smaller

 of the two current Delay values and  the memory

LEDs turn 

off

 if the two Channel’s current Memories are not the same.

 

CHANNEL button: 

Pressing this button advances the Channel LEDs from CHAN 1 to CHAN 2 to BOTH. The current

Delay value of the selected Channel is displayed in the LED display. (This button does nothing in Mono Mode.)

 

DISPLAY MODE button & LEDs:

 This button changes the units of displayed Delay values from Milliseconds to Feet to

Meters. The LEDs indicate the current Display Mode: MILLISECONDS, FEET or METERS.

 

5 digit LED display:

 indicates the current Delay value for the selected Channel. When both Channels are selected, the

smaller

 of the two Channel’s current Delay values is displayed. This display also shows the current temperature setting when

holding down the DISPLAY MODE button and pressing one of the up/down buttons. On power-up the current software
revision level and internal Stereo/Mono (2CHAN/1CHAN) configuration are displayed.

 

UP/DOWN buttons: 

Pressing these buttons increases/decreases the amount of Delay in the selected Channel(s). The two

buttons just to the right of the LED display change Delay 

time

 in 1 millisecond steps. The far right buttons provide 10

microsecond steps. For distance displays (feet and meters), these buttons are FINE and COARSE adjustments, since Delay
increments are always in 1 msec and 10 µsec steps, regardless of the DISPLAY MODE.

 

TEMPERATURE setting:

 Holding down DISPLAY MODE while pressing the up/down buttons displays the current

temperature setting in degrees Celsius for the 1 msec/COARSE buttons and degrees Fahrenheit for the 10 µsec/FINE
buttons. Further up/down presses change the temperature setting. No matter which unit (°C or °F), adjustments are always in
1°C steps (or 1.8°F).
