PDM II - Bypass functionality defined

Updated by Bryan Jones

All PDMs (PDM and PDM II) have a bypass relay that is activated by;

  • pressing the BYPASS button on the front of the unit
  • loss of power to the unit.
  • a soft reboot of the unit.

However, the bypass is a hard relay and can only bypass PHYSICAL inputs (Analog or AES) to the same physical output type. The following table shows where BYPASS can be used during an update.
