Manual
Only accessories approved by Pan Acoustics may be mounted and used on the mounting plate with
M20 thread in order not to endanger the stability. When a spacer bar is used to mount a top, the device’s
centre of gravity changes. The loudspeaker must therefore be set up in a level position and must be protected
by suitable means against live loads that could cause the loudspeaker to tip, slide or fall over. The spacer bar
(article no. 802455) must not be used in the extracted position. If several devices are stacked on top
of each other, it must be ensured that the devices sit securely in the stacking recesses. The stacked
devices must be protected by suitable means against live loads.
The P SW-118 | SP + variants can be combined with a PB 08 from the Pan Beam series to a loud-
speaker system. The following items are needed to create such a system:

Before connecting the device to the mains power supply, it must be ensured that the speci cations
regarding voltage and frequency match the speci cations on the device’s connector panel. The spec-
i cations can be found near the mains power connection.
10. Initial operation
10.1. Mains power connection
The number of devices per mains phase depends on the maximum possible current load of the
phase. The latter must not be exceeded. If the full output power of the device is needed, it is
strongly recommended to operate only one device per mains phase.
• Only operate the device on mains power supplies with earth contact.
• Damaged mains power cables or plugs must be replaced with a faultless mains power cable or plug.
• It must be ensured that the mains power plug is always freely accessible to be able to disconnect the
device from the mains power supply in case of danger or malfunction.
Mains voltage range:
100 to 240 VAC, +50/60 Hz, max. 2400 W.
The device is connected to the mains power
supply by means of a powerCON TRUE1 plug
connection. The connection on the back of the
device is designed as input / output so that
another device can be connected to the device
via a powerCON TRUE1 connection cable.

17.2. Alarm contact (alarm loop)
Each Pan Subwoofer loudspeaker has an alarm contact. The loudspeaker can indicate a detected error
via this alarm contact. For this purpose, a switch relay is installed in the loudspeaker, which is closed
in normal operating status. If the loudspeaker is not in operation, if there is no power supply or if an
internal error is signalled via the DSP, the relay is opened.
In a Pan Net with analogue AES/EBU audio signals, all devices on a Pan Net line are connected to
each other by means of daisy chain cabling. In order to close the loop for the alarm contact, a jumper
must be set between pin 3 and pin 6 (see chapter 17.1. “Pan Net – RJ45 pin assignment”) on the
device located at the end of the cabling. The Pan Net jumper plug (article no.: 804105) can be used
for this purpose.
Via the Pan Con and Pan Splitter interfaces, the alarm loop can be evaluated via all connected devices
of a Pan Net line, e.g. via a GPI on the media controller. For this purpose, the 3-pin connector on the
Pan Net interface must be connected to the device accordingly.

17.3. Control via media controller
Via the Pan Net interfaces, Pan Splitter 4/4 and Pan Splitter 2/6, the presets stored in the loudspeak-
ers can be activated using a media controller. To do so, connect the media controller to the speci ed
interfaces via the RS485 interface.
The following control commands must be transmitted completely to activate the presets stored in the
loudspeakers. The indicated timing must be taken into account. There is no feedback about the exe-
cution of the command to the controller. All active Pan Acoustics loudspeakers with Pan Net support
that are in the same Pan Net area execute the command.
17.3.1. Pan Net
Timing
A waiting time of at least 3 s must be adhered to between the individual commands.
Mixed operation on the RS485 bus with other devices of third-party manufacturers is not permitted
due to the di erent protocols!
This may lead to a malfunction and/or failure of the connected loudspeakers. Reactivation is only
possible via technical support.
Parallel operation of a media controller and the Pan Beam Setup program is not possible and must
be avoided.

17.4.4. Network confi guration
The Dante interface of the loud-
speakers supports the “switched”
and “redundant” modes in the Dante
network.
Switched:
If the Dante interface is set to “switched”,
an additional Dante device, e.g. a stage
box, can be connected to the secondary
port and operated in the Dante network.
Connecting another Dante-capable
device to the secondary port in the
“switched” mode is technically possible,
but not recommended.
Redundant:
If the Dante interface is set to
“redundant”, the Pan Beam loudspeaker
can be connected to the redundant
Dante network with a second network
cable.
17.4.5. Status
Via the “Status” tab, information on the
device,  rmware and software version,
clock status and network interface can
be called up.

17.4.6. Pan Net (AES/EBU) to Dante interface
[1] Pan Net Link
Via the Pan Net Link etherCON port on the loudspeaker,
additional Pan Acoustics loudspeakers with AES/EBU
interface can be connected in daisy chain.
Attention must be paid to the correct sequence (input
/ output).
When connecting loudspeakers with AES/EBU interface
from the Pan Beam or Pan Subwoofer series, attention
must be paid to the correct connection sequence (input
/ output). If both audio channels A/B are needed on the
connected AES/EBU loudspeakers, the corresponding
cross point must be set in the Dante controller.

17.4.7. Dante LED status indicator
Above the etherCON ports for the Dante or AES67 net-
work, there are two LEDs for status indication:
The [LINK/ACT] LED is green if everything is connected
correctly.
The [1 G] LED is orange if a 1 Gigabit network has been
detected.
The [COM] LED  ashes red if the loudspeaker commu-
nicates with the “Pan Beam Setup” software via the
Dante network.
