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.

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.

3.2.6How to supply the system

•All microphone stations, D/A interfaces and adapters are powered via the system. They do not have their own power supply.

•The number of the required power supply units depends on the number of microphone stations and the system set-up including different cable lengths and operating mode.

•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) MCS-D 200 control unit with 2 power packs (= 4 A)

for approx. 15 microphone stations 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

1 Power supply unit with 3 power packs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . for 45 microphone stations
