Setting Boulderlink ID Numbers
Every component is required to have a unique Boulderlink ID number.
Each Boulder 3050 Mono Power Amplier has an amplier ID switch
on the rear panel. Starting by setting the rst switch to “0” or “1” by
pressing on the either button above or below the ID window. Once the
rst amplier is set at either “0” or “1”, assign other ampliers numbers,
moving up in sequence without duplication. Use of the lowest numbers will
hasten the turn on processor, as each amplier is allowed three seconds
to initialize before the next. This spreads out the power line inrush currents
preventing the house circuit breakers from unnecessarily tripping. Up to
16 power ampliers may be connected together in one Boulderlink daisy
chain.
Power Up By Boulderlink
With each component connected together with a Boulderlink cable,
and individually connected to a mains outlet, pressing the power amplier
or preamplier’s “STANDBY” push button will initiate the turn on sequence
of all components.
The rst time a master is powered up, it will search for any “SLAVE”
units connected to it. As the MASTER nds each SLAVE, the SLAVE’s ID
number will be shown on the display.
If any of the connected SLAVEs are ampliers, then each time the
MASTER is turned on it will display “WAITING FOR AMPS.” Each amplier
will be turned on in the order of their Boulderlink ID. To minimize turn on
time, the amplier’s ID should be set to the lowest possible number in the
sequence. For example, use “0”, “1”, and “2”, instead of “13”, “14”, and
“15”. An Amplier set to ID “15” will take 47 seconds to turn on.
