Power Input
This input is used for connecting the signal pro-
cessor to the power supply of the vehicle and for
remote in / out. If the highlevel loudspeaker inputs
are used the remote input can be left unconnected.
The remote output is used for turning on / o󰀨 ampli-
ers that are connected to the Line Outputs of the
HELIX DSP ULTRA. Connect this remote output to
the remote inputs of your amplier/s. This is essen-
tial to avoid any interfering signals.
The remote output is activated automatically as
soon as the booting process of the DSP is complet-
ed. Additionally this output will be turned o󰀨 during
the “Power Save Mode” or a software update pro-
cess.
Attention: Solely use the pluggable screw-terminal
which is included in delivery to connect the HELIX
DSP ULTRA to the power supply!
Important: Never use a di󰀨erent signal than the
remote output of the DSP to activate connected
ampliers!

Control pushbutton
The DSP ULTRA provides 10 internal memory lo-
cations for sound setups. The Control pushbutton
allows the user to switch between two memory po-
sitions. These can be dened in the DSP PC-Tool.
Pressing the button for ve seconds completely
erases the internal memory. This is indicated by a
continuous red glowing and constant green ashing
of the Status LED.
Note: The memory locations one and two are de-
ned ex works. To manually switch between the
setups the button has to be pressed and held for
one second. Switching is indicated by a single red
ash of the Status LED. To switch between all inter-
nal memory locations, the optionally available DI-
RECTOR display remote control or the HELIX WIFI
CONTROL is recommended.
Attention: After erasing the setups from memory
the HELIX DSP ULTRA will not reproduce any au-
dio output.

Status LED
The Status LED indicates the operating mode of the
signal processor and of its memory.
Green: DSP is ready for operation.
Orange: Power Save Mode is active.
Red: Protection Mode is active. This may have
di󰀨erent root causes. The HELIX DSP ULTRA is
equipped with protection circuits against over- and
undervoltage as well as overheating. Please check
for connecting failures such as short-circuits or oth-
er wrong connections.
If the DSP is overheated the internal temperature
protection switches o󰀨 the remote and signal output
until it reaches a safe temperature level again.
Red / green slow ashing: No operating software
installed. Connect the signal processor to the
DSP PC-Tool software and conrm the automat-
ic update of the operating system. You will nd
the latest version of the DSP PC-Tool software at
www.audiotec-scher.com.
Red / green fast ashing: The currently selected
Sound Setup memory is empty. A new setup has to
be loaded via the DSP PC-Tool software or switch
to a memory position with existing sound setup.
