Buttons

The buttons below and to the left of the display are used when stepping through the different menus and for setting up the system:

•

Four select buttons

Four buttons placed on the left-hand side of the display. Each button is associated with a line pointing towards a text line in the display. This indicates, that pushing the button ‘selects’ the functionality.

•

Enter button

The Enter button is used, when a selection is made in the Main Menu. Pressing the Enter button concludes the selection made, and at the same time it indicates a confirmation of the possible changes made within the selection. The Menu system returns to the previous menu. Notice, that some changes are applied immediately, and confirmation is thus not required.

•

Menu button

The Menu button is also used, when a selection is made in the Main Menu. The Menu button concludes the selection, but in contrast to the Enter button, the Menu button does not confirm a possible change made within the selection. Instead, the Menu system returns to the previous menu without confirming changes, if confirmation is required.

•

Up (▲) and Down (▼) buttons

The Up and Down buttons are used to scroll through menu items, or to increase/decrease values within a selection.

Symbols

The following symbols are used on the LCD display:



‘-‘

The dash symbol (‘-‘) preceding a line of text identifies a submenu or a changeable parameter. The submenu or parameter can be selected by pressing the corresponding select button.



‘>’

The ‘>’ symbol preceding a line of text identifies a selected parameter. The parameter can be changed by pressing the up and down buttons. The ‘>’ symbol is shown as long as the value of the parameter currently used is the same as the value shown in the display.



‘*’

The star symbol ‘*’ preceding a line of text identifies a selected parameter, where the value has been changed, but not yet confirmed. The changed value can be confirmed by pressing the Enter button, or it can be dismissed by pressing the Menu button.



‘▲▼’

The up and down symbols shown in the right side of the display (up is shown in the first line and down is shown in the last line) indicates that the current menu consists of more than 4 menu items. It is therefore necessary to use the up and down buttons to scroll through menu items.

Indications



Cursor

The cursor is used on the LCD display to indicate, when a value is being changed. For a parameter that is subject to a change, the cursor is placed at the value of the parameter, indicating that it is about to be changed.

• FIFO is an automated mode. The

microphone unit functions in the same way as in automatic mode as long as the number of turned on delegate units is less or equal to the selected maximum speakers.

When the max. number is reached, the next delegate pressing the ON/OFF button will be put in the top of the request queue. This is indicated by the green ‘Request’ lamp flashing slowly.

Danish Interpretation Systems User Manual

Manual 01 18 04438

More delegates will be put in the request queue when they press their ON/OFF buttons, until the maximum of requests is reached. Their green ‘Request’ lamps will light up steadily.

When one of the turned ON microphone units is switched off, the first delegate unit in the queue is automatically switched ON, and the next delegate unit in the queue will flash with the green ‘Request’ lamp.

This mode will normally be used with only 1 as maximum speakers.

• VOX, voice activation mode allows for the

microphone units to be switched on automatically if speaking in the microphone or by pressing the microphone ON/OFF button.

This is indicated by a red light in the ‘Speak’ lamp in the microphone unit. Pressing the microphone ON/OFF button again will turn the microphone off.

The microphone turns of automatically after finished talking after the time defined in the “Release Time” setting (se later paragraph), which normally is 4 seconds. The microphone can also be turned off by pressing the ON/OFF button.

A Chairman Unit is always in Auto or VOX mode

•

Interrupt

The “Interrupt” setting determines the behaviour of the microphone units.

Values: {None, Lower, Lower+Same}

None

When “None” is selected and the number of open Delegate units has reached the number specified in the setting “Max. Delegate Speakers” no more delegate microphone can be opened. Pressing the microphone buttons will not turn on the microphone

but 3 flashes in the green LED will indicate, that the maximum number has been reached.

It is similar for Chairman units if the number of open units (Chairman and Delegate) has reached the number specified in the setting “Max. Total Speakers”.

Lower

If however “Lower” is selected a chairman will interrupt (switch Off) the first switched On delegate unit if the number of open units (Chairman and Delegate) has reached the number specified in the setting “Max. Total Speakers”.

Lower+Same

If “Lower+Same” is selected a delegate unit will interrupt (switch Off) the first switched On delegate unit if the number of delegate units has reached the number specified in the setting “Max. Delegate Speakers”.

Similar a chairman will interrupt (switch Off) the first switched ON delegate unit if the number of open units (Chairman and Delegate) has reached the number specified in the setting “Max. Total Speakers”, and if no delegate unit is switched ON the first switched ON Chairman unit will be switched OFF.

Ambient microphone

By choosing ‘Ambient Microphone’ from the main menu and parameters for an AM 6040 Ambient Noise microphone can be set up

The purpose of an ambient noise microphone is to provide sound from a meeting room/conference hall, when there is no delegate/chairman using their microphones.

Transmission of ambient noise rather than transmitting no sound at all is a desirable feature from listeners attending the meeting via headphones. The ambient noise indicates to the listeners, that there is no speaking activity going on, and this information is very nice to have, when interpreters are doing interpretation, and the speaker stops speaking.

The setup menu has the following options:

• Amb.Mic

• Amb.Mic Level



Amb.Mic

When ‘enabled’ is selected, the Ambient Noise Microphone is active.

When the LineIn>Loudspk under Audio control is set to a value between -40dB and +20dB the microphone will be disabled. If the LineIn>Loudspk subsequently is set to Off, the microphone will stay disabled until enabled in Amb.Mic.

Values: {Enabled, Disabled}

Setting Line input level

1. Apply the signal to the Input connector

2. Turn up the input level on “LineInlevel

Adj” until you can see the overflow indicator.

3. Turn then the InputIn level down –8 dB to

–12dB from the clipping level. Depending of the source connected, there might be different “overhead” needed. But normally 8-12 db is enough.

4. Turn up the Linein >Loudspk Volume to

the level needed in the loudspeakers

The principle is that the level of signal from the Line Input is combined of two settings:

“LinelnLevel Adj” and “LineIn->Loudspk”.

System Setup

General guidelines

Connect the CU 6005/6010/6011 to the various DCS 6000 units using Cat5 or Cat5e FTP or STP screened cables.

The operation of the DCS 6000 units is found in the User Manual for the specific units.

Please observe the following guidelines:

• Maximum cable length in one chain is 200

m (before repeating). This includes interconnection cables between the units. The max. usable cable length depends on the units connected and length of feeding cables etc.

• Maximum cable length in one chain when

using repeaters is 650 m.

• Although the DCS-LAN Network Output

connectors (CU 6005: A1 plus A2, CU 6010/6011: A1, A2, B1 or B2) have a 125W supply, this 125W power is not all available with long cables, as there will be a power drop in the feeding cable from the CU 6005/6010/6011 to the units connected. If the feeding cables are short and the cables between the units are short, more units can be connected than if the feeding cable is long and/or the cables are long

between the units. Please consult the next section ‘Maximum number of units to be connected’.

• The maximum number of languages

configured on chain A (A1 or A2) or B (B1 or B2) is 16. If more languages are required, Interpreter sets for those languages have to be divided between both chains (A and B) – this is only applicable for the CU 6010/6011. Normally the languages are supposed to be divided equally on chains A (A1 or A2) and B (B1 or B2).

• If the last unit in one chain is a CS 6032

Channel Selector, this unit has to be terminated with an external termination, as the CS 6032 does not have an internal automatic termination.

It is desirable that the square of the feeding cables especially but also the interconnection cables are as big as possible to minimize the voltage drop in the cables. Cat 5/Cat5E cables are delivered in various gauges:

The following table is showing the Diameter/square for various AWG types:

Type Diameter Square

AWG22 0.64 mm 0.32 mm2

AWG23/1 0.57 mm 0.25 mm2

AWG24 0.53 mm 0.22 mm2 AWG26 0.42 mm 0.14 mm2

Built into 19” Racks

The unit has a built-in fan taking air in at the left side of the unit and blowing the hot air out at the right side. That allows units in 19” racks to be

stacked close with other units without extra room for cooling air between them. Please check that the other units will allow this.

Appendix

Technical appendix

Cabling CAT5

The DCS 6000 system uses CAT5, CAT5e or CAT6 FTP or STP cables with screened RJ45 connectors.

EIA 568-B wiring shall be used.

It is important to use only FTP or STP (screened) cables and screened RJ45 connectors and not UTP cable, which is unscreened.

How to wire a CAT5 (EIA 568-B) Cable:

Pin Function Connector #1 Connector #2

1 In-going + ORG/WHT ORG/WHT 2 In-going - ORG ORG 3 +48V GRN/WHT GRN/WHT 4 0V BLU BLU 5 0V BLU/WHT BLU/WHT 6 +48V GRN GRN 7 Outgoing - BRN/WHT BRN/WHT 8 Outgoing + BRN BRN

Note. If other colour codes are used then the four

pairs are connected as follows: Pair 1: Pin 1 & 2 Pair 2: Pin 3 & 6 Pair 3: Pin 4 & 5 Pair 4: Pin 7 & 8 The phase of the pairs must be correct and

the wiring spec. as stated in CAT5 (EIA 568-B) have to be followed.

Note: CAT6 cables can normally only be terminated in sockets (female) and not in cable plugs.

CAT6 can thus only be used for longer cable draws terminating in wall outlets or patch panels.
