The software allows you to add amplifiers to an existing PA cabinet. After you have created an amplifier, you can create strips and connectors under this amplifier.

Smart Instrumentation allows you to create a number of equipment cabinets that you can use for various purposes. After you have created the cabinets you require, you can create the appropriate equipment for each cabinet.

You can create an equipment cabinet in the Domain Explorer or the Reference Explorer. If you are creating an equipment cabinet that is going to have a frequently used configuration, we recommend that you create it in the Reference Explorer. Reference equipment cabinets facilitate fast creation of plant equipment cabinets by copying an existing cabinet configuration from the Reference Explorer to the Domain Explorer. However, if you want to create an equipment cabinet that does not have a configuration that you intend to use frequently, we recommend that you create it in the Domain Explorer and in the <unit> where it is to be physically located. This is helpful when filtering the panels in the current <unit>.

  1. In the Domain Explorer, double-click the Panels by Category folder and expand the Telecom Panels folder.

  2. Expand the Equipment Cabinets folder and then right-click a PA cabinet to which you want to add an amplifier.

  3. On the shortcut menu select New > Amplifier.

  4. On the New Wiring Equipment dialog, type a name for the new amplifier and select OK.

  5. On the Wiring Equipment Properties – Amplifier dialog, on the General tab, under Name, accept or type a name of the new amplifier.

  6. Select the Double width check box if the amplifier occupies a double width slot or position.

  7. In the Details group box do the following as you require:

    1. Type a description.

    2. Select an amplifier type, model, and manufacturer. If the required value is not available on the list, select to define a new one.

    3. Enter a sequence if you need to define the amplifier sequence.

  8. Select the Category Properties tab.

  9. Revise and modify category property values as you require. Select the value for each property and modify it as needed.

    SHARED Tip Wiring equipment categories that are shipped with Smart Instrumentation have predefined properties. You cannot delete or rename any of these categories or their properties. You can only edit their values. However, you can add user-defined properties to any category which you can rename or delete as you want. For details, see Customize and Use Wiring Equipment Categories.

  10. Select OK to accept your settings and close the dialog.
