Important
Compliancy
The equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits of the following norms and
approvals:
• EN55013 of 2001 (emission)
• EN55020 of 2002 (immunity)
• EN60065 of 1998
These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. The equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and if not
installed and used in accordance with the user
manual it may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
You are cautioned that any changes or
modifications not expressly approved in this manual
could void your authority to operate this equipment.
Installation precautions
Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal
heat built-up. Do not place the unit on a surface
(rugs, blankets, etc.) that may block the ventilation
holes.
Do not install the unit in a location near heat
sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place
exposed to direct sunlight, excessive dust or
humidity, mechanical vibration or shock.
To avoid moisture condensations do not install the
unit where the temperature may rise rapidly.
Cleaning
To keep the cabinet in its original condition,
periodically clean it with a soft cloth. Stubborn
stains may be removed with a cloth lightly
dampened with a mild detergent solution. Never use
organic solvents such as thinners or abrasive
cleaners since these will damage the cabinet.
Repacking
Save the original shipping carton and packing
material; they will become handy if you ever have
to ship the unit. For maximum protection, re-pack
the unit as originally packed from the factory.
Warranty
The individual units in the DCS 6000 system are
minimum covered by 12 months warranty against
defects in materials or workmanship.

Unit operating instructions
RP 6004 Repeater
General description
The RP 6004 Repeater provides Repeater and
Splitter functionality for the DCS 6000 system. One
CU 6010 Central Unit is needed in each DCS 6000
system, however for expansion of the system the
RP 6004 Repeater is suitable.. The RP 6004 consist
of two main parts:
• Repeater /splitter board with 4 individual
repeated outputs
Features
The main features of the RP 6004 Repeater are:
• 4 outputs for connection to Delegate Units,
Interpreter Units etc.
• Loop through connectors for connection
additional RP 6004 or other units, which are
part of the DCS 6000 system
• Delayed switching on of power to the four
chains, to minimise the total ‘switch-on’ current
on the Mains supply.
• Designed in compact cabinet for easy installing
remotely.
User Controls, indications & connectors
Front plate layout
Front plate controls
The RP 6004 Repeater does not feature any controls
or displays, however the following indications and
connectors are available:
q Loop through connectors
RJ45 connector, 2 pieces
DCS-LAN connectors for connection to the CU
6000/CU 6010 and for connection to other units
with DCS-LAN connector, such as more RP 6004.
q Repeated Chain 1, 2, 3 & 4
RJ45 connector, 4 pieces
DCS-LAN connectors for connection to
DM/CM6xxx, IS6032, CS6032, EX6010, AO6008
etc. For connecting Interpreter Sets for up to 16
languages. If more languages are required,
Interpreter sets for those languages have to be
connected to Chain B1 or B2.
q Power LED
Those LED light up when Power is available on the
connector next to the LED
q Incoming data LED

System design
There are no settings to be done on the RP 6004
Repeater.
However it is important to observe, that the unit is
only repeating one of the chains on the CU 6010
Central Unit.
And as so, the specification, which applies to each
of the chain outputs on the CU 6010 Central Units
does also apply to all the repeated outputs in total.
So when designing a system to incorporate RP 6004
Repeaters, bare in mind, that as the RP 6004
Repeater is repeating only one of the four outputs A
(A1 or A2) or B (B1 or B2) the max. number of
languages configured on the four outputs (1, 2, 3
and 4) is totally max. 16.
If more languages are required, Interpreter sets for
those languages have to be connected either to an
other RP 6004 Repeater, which is connected to the
other of the two chains (A or B) on the CU 6010, or
directly to the other of the two chains (A or B) on a
CU 6010.
‘Repeated chain’ connector
When connecting the RP 6004 Repeaters to the CU
6010 the first EX is connected to the ‘Loop
through’ connector. The next RP 6004 Repeaters
can be connected to either the other ‘Loop through’
connector or to one of the ‘Repeated out’
connectors. If using the ‘Repeated’ outputs two
more RP 6004 Repeaters can be connected
extending the maximum cable length in one chain
up to 680 m. The above schematic is showing the
connection using the ‘‘Repeated out’ connectors.

‘Loop through’ connector
When connecting a number of RP 6004 Repeaters
to the CU 6010 an almost unlimited number of EX
can be connected by using the ‘Loop through’
connector. The practical limitation is the maximum
cable length in one chain, which is 200 m. The
following schematic is showing the connections
using the ‘Loop through’ connectors.
A combination of the two methods of connection
can be seen in the section ‘Typical Schematics’.

System Setup
General guidelines
Connect the RP 6004 to the various units using Cat
5 FTP or STP cables. Please observe the following
guide lines:
• Maximum cable length in one chain is 200
m without repeater. 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 680 m.
• As the RP 6004 Repeater is repeating only
one of the four outputs A (A1 or A2) or B
(B1 or B2) the max. number of languages
configured on the four outputs (1, 2, 3 and
4) is totally max. 16.
If more languages are required, Interpreter
sets for those languages have to be
connected to both chains (A or B) on the
CU 6010. 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 units has to be
terminated with an external termination, as
the CS 6032 does not have an internal
termination.

Cabling
CAT5
The DCS 6000 system uses CAT5, CAT5e or
CAT6 FTP or STP cables/connectors. And EIA
568-B wiring shall be used.
But use only FTP or STP cables/connectors and
not UTP.
How to wire a CAT5 (EIA 568-B) Cable:
Pin
Connector #1 Connector #2
1 ORG/WHT ORG/WHT
2 ORG ORG
3 WHT/GRN WHT/GRN
4 BLU BLU
5 BLU/WHT BLU/WHT
6 GRN GRN
7 BRN/WHT BRN/WHT
8 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.
