Introduction

Thank you for selecting the digital multimedia-based MCS-D 200 conference system from beyerdynamic. Please take some time to read carefully through this manual before setting up the equipment. This manual describes the installation and operation of the MCS-D 200 system without the control and configuration via PC.

MCS-D 200 is a fully digital multimedia-based conference system in single-cable design. It can be used for small and large events in permanent installations or for mobile use.

The system includes the following components:

• MCS-D 200 Control Unit

• MCS-D 2073 Delegate / Chairman Station

• MCS-D 202 Interpreter Stations

• MCS-D 3121 Delegate Station and MCS-D 3123 Chairman Station

• MCS-D 3171 Delegate Station and MCS-D 3173 Chairman Station

• Cabling via “NetRateBus”

The NetRateBus is a special kind of cabling which allows operating all services such as microphone channels, interpreting channels, control, network, telephone and safety precautions simultaneously on 54 channels without any interferences. The NetRateBus allows different types of cabling such as in a daisy chain, star or tree structure with any branch. The setup is clear and simple.

One conference system can consist of a maximum of 1,400 microphone units.

For the digital interpreter stations there is no additional control unit needed.

Third party devices such as PCs, automatic cameras with pan, tilt, zoom, recording devices, output devices or display screen in the hall can be connected.

With the MultiSession Management several meetings can be controlled simultanously with one control unit and the software. The individual conference rooms can be combined to one large group or conference room by changing the software settings accordingly.

Safety Instructions

1. Important Safety Instructions

Control Unit and Power Supply Units

• READ these instructions.

• KEEP these instructions.

• HEED all warnings.

• Follow all instructions.

• Do not use this apparatus near water.

• Clean only with a dry cloth.

• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that

produce heat.

• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarised or grounding-type plug. A polarised plug has two blades with one wider

than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where

they exit from the apparatus.

• Only use attachements/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

• Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table specified by the manufacturer or sold with the apparatus. When a cart

is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way,

such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

• The equipment must be set up so that the mains switch, mains plug and all connection on the rear of the device are easily

accessible.

• The equipment must be connected to a mains socket that has an earth contact.

• Never expose the equipment to rain or a high level of humidity. For this reason do not install it in the immediate vicinity of

swimming pools, showers, damp basement rooms or other areas with unusually high atmospheric humidity.

• Do not use the device/s outside. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this/these device/s to rain or

moisture.

• Never place objects containing liquid (e.g. vases or drinking glasses) on the equipment. Liquids in the equipment could cause

a short circuit.

• Lay all connection cables so that they do not present a trip hazard.

• Check whether the connection figures comply with the existing mains supply. Serious damage could occur due to connecting

the system to the wrong power supply. An incorrect mains voltage could damage the equipment or cause an electric shock.

• This equipment needs adequate ventilation. Do not cover ventilation grilles. If the heat it generates cannot be dissipated,

the equipment could be damaged or flammable materials in its immediate vicinity could be ignited. Take care to ensure that the air can circulate freely through the ventilation grilles and keep flammable materials away.

• Never place naked flames near the equipment.

• If the equipment causes a blown fuse or a short circuit, disconnect it from the mains and have it checked and repaired.

• Do not open the equipment without authorisation. You could receive an electric shock. Leave all service work to authorised

expert personnel.

• Do not hold the mains cable with wet hands. There must be no water or dust on the contact pins. In both cases you could

receive an electric shock.

• The mains cable must be firmly connected. If it is loose there is a fire hazard.

• Always pull out the mains cable from the mains and/or from the equipment by the plug - never by the cable. The cable could

be damaged and cause an electric shock or fire.

• If the power cable is connected, avoid contact of the unit with other metallic objects.

• Do not insert objects into the ventilation grilles or other openings. You could damage the equipment and/or injure yourself.

• The following list shows how many devices such as microphone stations, interfaces and adapters can be powered by the system.

MCS-D 200 control unit with 1 power pack (= 2 A) for approx. 15 microphone stations MCS-D 200 control unit with 2 power packs (= 4 A) for approx. 30 microphone stations

When the system is extended with additional power supply units: Power supply unit with 1 power pack (= 2 A) for approx. 15 microphone stations Power supply unit with 2 power packs (= 4 A) for approx. 30 microphone stations Power supply unit with 3 power packs (= 6 A) for approx. 45 microphone stations

Note:

In this rule of thumb, an adapter (CA 4212/13/14 or CA 4222/23/24) approximately counts as half a microphone station.

Example of a system set-up:

1 MCS-D 200 control unit with 2 power packs . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 MCS-D 202 interpreter stations

+ 1 D/A interface + 2 adapters

1 Power supply unit with 2 power packs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . for 30 microphone stations

3.3.7 Delegate IDs

For identifying a device identification number (ID) should be assigned to each delegate station. Basically, the system can be operated without the organisation of ID numbers. But for special functions such as functions of a chairman station, phoning and some data bank manangement functions the organisation of the IDs of the microphone stations is absolutely necessary for a smooth meeting. In order to avoid conflicts each ID number can be assigned only once. For the telephone function, e.g. the ID numbers are used as device telephone numbers which will appear in a telephone list in the menu. Addressing is defined as assigning an individual number to a certain device - for example – delegate station no. 1 shall be ID-no. 0001, delegate station no. 2 shall be ID-no. 0002, and so on.

3.3.8 Interpreter IDs

For identifying a device identification number (ID) should be assigned to each intepreter station. Basically, the system can be operated without the organisation of ID numbers. But for special iCNS software and service monitoring functions the organisation of the IDs of the interpreter stations is absolutely necessary for a smooth meeting. The ID number for an interpreter station consists of the booth ID and device ID. In order to avoid conflicts each ID number can be assigned only once. For different booths you may assign the same device IDs. For example: Booth 1: MCS-D 202 (1) = 01-0001, MCS-D 202 (2) = 01-0002 Booth 2: MCS-D 202 (1) = 02-0001, MCS-D 202 (2) = 02-0002

4.2 Connection

4.2.1 Control unit – power supply unit

• The MCS-D 200 control unit and the power supply unit are connected via the NetRateBus socket . Refer also to chapter 8. “Set-up examples”. Warning: Connected devices (e.g. adapters or Digital/Analog interfaces) are powered by the MCS-D 200 control unit and have to be considered in power calculations.

• Each unit which is connected to a NetRateBus socket is powered by the MCS-D 200 when it is switched on. It is not important if the power supply unit is switched on or off. A Digital/Analog interface or adapter connected to the NetRateBus sockets would be powered by the power converter of the MCS-D 200. These sockets are not the power outputs for the microphone stations, adapter or interfaces.

4.2.2 Microphone stations - power supply unit

• Connect microphone stations, Digital/Analog interfaces and adapters to the EXTENSION PORTS angeschlossen.

• Any device which is connected to an EXTENSION PORT, is powered by the power converters 1-3 of the CA 4115/30/45 power supply unit, when the MCS-D 200 control unit and the power supply unit are switched on. This is indicated by the illuminated LEDs 1-3.

4.3 How to switch on the power supply unit

• Check all connections before switching on.

• Stand-by: A switched-on power supply unit is in stand-by mode when the mains switch is illuminated, but the power converters 1-3 cannot emit power via the EXTENSION PORTS , because the MCS-D 200 control unit is not yet switched on. In this case neither the “POWER” LED nor the power converter LEDs 1-3 will illuminate.

• We recommend switching on the devices as described in the following:

1. Switch on all power supply units first. The mains switch will illuminate and indicate the stand-by mode.

2. Switch on the MCS-D 200 control unit. The “POWER” LED of the MCS-D 200 will illuminate.

Then the “POWER” LED of each power supply unit will illuminate.

• Then the power converters 1-3 can emit power via the EXTENSION PORTS . The illuminated power converter LEDs 1-3 display the appropriate power supply unit: LED 1 CA 4115 (1 power converter for 2 A) LED 1 + 2 CA 4130 (2 power converters for 4 A) LED 1 + 2 + 3 CA 4145 (3 power converters for 6 A).

• The green Power-LED of the power supply unit will illuminate when the MCS-D 200 control unit is switched on and a bus signal is produced, no matter if the mains switch of the power supply unit is switched on or off.

• The LEDs indicate the following:

GREEN: OFF:

- the MCS-D 200 control unit is switched on

- the power supply unit is switched on

- the power converter emits power via the EXTENSION PORTS

- the MCS-D 200 control unit is switched off

- the power supply unit is switched off

- the power converter is not installed or defective
