NOTE: For some electrical systems (e.g., isolated grounding systems - sometimes called a single point or star
ground) the grounding procedure outlined above may short two fingers of the building ground system. If this
creates a problem, then use of non-conductive junction boxes, or insulating mounting methods are rec-
ommended (or very much required!).
Available Digital Remote Models
Following are the types of DRs currently available for your HAL System. The DR models available will vary over
time as Rane's engineers ponder and design new and better ways to remotely control an audio system. For the most
current list of DRs, see the Rane website.
NOTE: Several of the DRs mount inside a US one-gang or two-gang switchbox (DR1, DR2, DR3, and DR5).
See the Rane website for a detailed listing of acceptable models of switchboxes. Note that the Decora plates
are also included with the DR1, DR2, and DR3.
NOTE FOR DRAG NET USERS: Remember the SR3 remote for Drag Net systems and how it was too wide to
allow the mounting of two or more of them beside each other in a standard switch box? You will be happy
to know that the HAL System DRs can be mounted directly beside each other in any combination, allowing
you to use several DRs in the same two, three, or four-gang switchbox.
NOTE: DR1, DR2, and DR3 display screens are dynamic, automatically updating when the available options
change through preset activation, room combining, and so on. Therefore, the user always sees the options
that are currently available.
