Consignes de Sécurité • Français

Ce symbole sert à avertir l’utilisateur que la documentation fournie avec le matériel contient des instructions importantes concernant l’exploitation et la maintenance (réparation).

Ce symbole sert à avertir l’utilisateur de la présence dans le boîtier de l’appareil de tensions dangereuses non isolées posant des risques d’électrocution.

Attention

Lire les instructions• Prendre connaissance de toutes les consignes de

sécurité et d’exploitation avant d’utiliser le matériel.

Conserver les instructions• Ranger les consignes de sécurité aﬁ n de pouvoir

les consulter à l’avenir.

Respecter les avertissements • Observer tous les avertissements et consignes

marqués sur le matériel ou présentés dans la documentation utilisateur.

Eviter les pièces de ﬁ xation • Ne pas utiliser de pièces de ﬁ xation ni d’outils

non recommandés par le fabricant du matériel car cela risquerait de poser certains dangers.

Warning

Power sources • This equipment should be operated only from the power source

indicated on the product. This equipment is intended to be used with a main power system with a grounded (neutral) conductor. The third (grounding) pin is a safety feature, do not attempt to bypass or disable it.

Power disconnection • To remove power from the equipment safely, remove all power

cords from the rear of the equipment, or the desktop power module (if detachable), or from the power source receptacle (wall plug).

Power cord protection • Power cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be

stepped on or pinched by items placed upon or against them.

Servicing • Refer all servicing to qualiﬁ ed service personnel. There are no user-

serviceable parts inside. To prevent the risk of shock, do not attempt to service this equipment yourself because opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.

Slots and openings • If the equipment has slots or holes in the enclosure, these are

provided to prevent overheating of sensitive components inside. These openings must never be blocked by other objects.

Lithium battery • There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly

replaced. Replace it only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Avertissement

Alimentations• Ne faire fonctionner ce matériel qu’avec la source d’alimentation

indiquée sur l’appareil. Ce matériel doit être utilisé avec une alimentation principale comportant un ﬁ l de terre (neutre). Le troisième contact (de mise à la terre) constitue un dispositif de sécurité : n’essayez pas de la contourner ni de la désactiver.

Déconnexion de l’alimentation• Pour mettre le matériel hors tension sans danger,

déconnectez tous les cordons d’alimentation de l’arrière de l’appareil ou du module d’alimentation de bureau (s’il est amovible) ou encore de la prise secteur.

About this Manual

This manual contains information about the MP 101, the MP 101 AAP, and the MP 101 D microphone to line preampliﬁ ers and provides instructions on how to mount and operate these units.

About the MP 101, MP 101 AAP, and MP 101 D

The Extron MP 101, MP 101 AAP, and MP 101 D (the MP 101 Series) are high quality microphone to line level audio preampliﬁ ers. These products can add microphone capability to most Extron audio and switcher systems.

The MP 101 is rack-mountable, while the MP 101 AAP is an AAP plate option for easy integration into Extron architectural products. The MP 101 D works similarly to the other two units,

but features a Decora on its installation and operation are found in chapter 4, “The MP 101 D”.

wallplate mounting option. Information

Each model features a recessed Mic Gain potentiometer that provides a 25 to 72 dB adjustment range, compensating for different microphone sensitivities. Each model also features an on/off switch for 48 volt phantom power and low cut ﬁ ltering. Remote control is available through optional Extron VCM 100 AAP/MAAP panels, which control volume and muting.

The power connector on the rear panel is orange; however,

the plug for the power cord may be either orange or blue. Either color plug can be connected to the rear panel receptacle.

2. Strip the jacket to expose 3/16" (5 mm) of the conductors.

Exposing more than the amount of copper wire

described above could allow the stripped wires to touch each other, causing a short circuit. This could result in the external DC power supply overheating and/or burning.

Stripping the wires to expose less than the recommended

amount causes them to slide out of the connector too easily, even if they are tightly pinched by the captive screws.

3. Slide the leads into the supplied captive screw plug and

lock them, using a small screwdriver.

4. Use the supplied tie-wrap to strap the power cord to the

extended tail of the connector.

5. To verify the power cord’s polarity before connecting

it, plug in the power supply with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.

The following ﬁ gure shows how to wire the connector.

Rack installation

The MP 101 can be rack mounted using either the VersaTools 19" 1U rack shelf (part #60-190-20), basic VersaTools rack shelf (part #60-604-20), a standard universal 1U rack shelf (part #60-190-01), or a 1U basic rack shelf (part #60-604-01).

The ﬁ gure below shows the VersaTools rack shelf, and the ﬁ gure on the following page shows a standard rack shelf. On the standard rack shelf, there are eight mounting locations at the front of the shelf and eight at the rear of the shelf.

1. Remove the rubber feet from the unit, if they were

previously installed.

2. Mount the unit on the rack shelf, using two 4-40 x 3/16"

screws. These screws go into holes on the underside of the unit near the left-front and right-rear corners.

3. Install blank panels (included with part #60-190-xx, optional with part #60-604-xx) or other units on the rack shelf.
