CU 6010 Central Unit
General description
The CU 6010 Central Unit for the DCS 6000 is the
heart of the system. One CU 6010 is needed in each
DCS 6000 system. The CU 6010 consist of four
main parts:
• Main processor board with Power PC and DSP
• DCS-LAN Network Control Card with 4
individual DCS-LAN outputs
• 4 individual Power supplies
• LCD display and buttons for system settings
The design with built in power supply makes the
unit suitable for running a small system alone or to
be the Central Controller for a large system.
Features
The main features of the CU 6010 Central Unit are:

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.

will turn of the interpreter occupying the channel.
•
Interlock
Those settings are used to give various interlocks.
A interrupt A
An interpreter turning on his microphone on an Achannel will interrupt another interpreter using his
A channel
A interrupt B
An interpreter turning on his microphone on an Achannel will interrupt another interpreter using his
B channel, but will not interrupt an interpreter using
his A channel.
A interrupt A+B
An interpreter turning on his microphone on an Achannel will interrupt another interpreter using his
A or B channel..
Channel Display
This setting is used to switch the showing in the
channel selectors displays in conference units
between Language Abbreviation or Channel
Number.
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.
Amb.Mic Level
Adjust the level of the microphone to a level, which
is suitable for the listener (Interpreter).
Values: {Off, -40, -39, …,18, 19, 20}
The user returns to the main menu by pressing
either the Menu button or the Enter button.

Display Unit types
Selecting the Display Unit types in the Units info
menu displays the number of present units. The
available units are:
• Delegate units
• Dual Mic. units
• Chairman units
• Voting units
• Interpreter units
• Audio Output units
• Amb. Mic units
• External Controller
For external controller it is indicated by ‘ON’ or
‘OFF’ whether an external PC is connected and
communicating (alive) via the RS232/RS422
connection to the CU.
Menu button or Enter button leaves this screen.
RS232 setup
The RS232 setup menu consists of two setup issues:
• RS232 baud rate
• RS232 mode
RS232 baud rate
The “RS232 baud rate” determines the bit rate of
the communication between the CU and an external
unit connected via the RS232 or RS422 connection.
Values: {2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600,
115200}
RS232 mode
The “Input mode” defines whether the ASCII
communication via RS232/RS422 is protected by
CRC check or not.
By protecting the communication (“Protected”), the
risk of faulty communication via RS232/RS422 is
minimized.
The risk of faults via RS232/RS422 is higher
running the “Default” mode, however, the
communication is possible from standard interfaces.
The RS232 terminal interface emulator, Tera Term,
does not feature the possibility of guarding the
ASCII communication by CRC check.
Values: {Default, Protected}
Security setup
The setup determines if ”Audio Scrambling” is
activates or not.
Values: {Off, On}
Default value is ‘off’. When switching to ‘on’, the
CU has to be restarted. All units will automatically
change to the scrambled mode.
The scrambling mode is used in high security
places, when ears dropping cannot be accepted.
Configuration
The “Configuration” menu comprises three menu
items:
• Load setup
• Save setup
• Delete setup
Load setup
The “Load setup” item brings the user to the Load
setup confirmation display:
The load is aborted with the Menu button and
accepted with the Enter button. In both cases, the
menu system returns to the Main menu.
Save setup
If the “Save setup” item is chosen this confirmation
display is shown:
This will overwrite
Current setup.
Continue?
This will overwrite the
configuration in flash.

If the user accepts the save the progress display is
shown:
The display is shown for a few seconds before the
CU returns to the “Main menu”.
Understanding “Save” and “Load” Setup
When saving the configuration, the setting that has
been done in the various menus in CU 6010, at the
IS 6132 Interpreter Sets and at AO 6008 Audio Unit
will be saved in the ‘Flash’ memory in the CU
6010.
Also the serial number and type of all units
connected to the CU 6010 at the time of saving the
configuration will be saved in the ‘Flash’ memory
in the CU 6010.
When switching on power to the CU 6010 at a later
stage, then the units connected will be compared to
the saved configuration. If some units are not
present, they will be reported as ‘missing’
When ‘loading’ a configuration the last settings,
which has been saved in the ‘Flash’ memory in the
CU 6010 will be re-loaded to the CU 6010, to the
IS 6132 Interpreter Sets and to the AO 6008 Audio
Unit.
When switching the power to the CU 6010 OFF and
then ON, the last saved setting will also be loaded.
Firmware info menu
By choosing ‘Firmware info’ from the main menu
information about the software version of the
PowerPC and the DSP is shown as well as the
Serial Number of the unit.:
The user returns to the main menu by pressing
either the Menu button or the Enter button.
Normal Operation
Powering up
Switch on power at the CU 6010. After powering
up, the display on the CU 6010 is showing the
Start-up screen:
After initialising the following screen is displayed:
This screen is the standard screen showed at normal
use. This screen is automatically shown if no
buttons is pressed in 15 seconds. The function of

Schematics volume/gain settings
The volume controls, which can be set on the CU
6010 user interface as described in the previous
section are shown in the following schematic.
Setting of Loudspeaker volume
1. Set the Mic>Loudspk to 0dB
2. Turn up the Loudspk Volume to the level
needed in the loudspeakers.
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”.
The LinelnLevel Adj has to be set as high as
possible for maintaining the best S/N ration, but not
too high to avoid clipping, whereas the LineIn-
>LoudSpk is used for setting the audio level needed
in the loudspeakers.

System Setup
General guidelines
Connect the CU 6010 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 each of the outputs DCS-LAN
Network Output connectors (A1, A2, B1
and B2) have a 100W supply, this 100W
power is not all usable with long cables, as
there will be a power drop in the feeding
cable from the CU 6010 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 (Max. Number of units to be
connected)
• The max. 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).
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 right
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.

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.
