5. Remove all packaging material from the product and its associated components before you install the unit.

Keep at least one set of original packaging, in the event that you need to return a product for servicing.

Product Servicing

Except for firmware upgrades, the modules are not designed for field servicing. All hardware upgrades, modifications, or repairs require you to return the modules to the Customer Service center.

Preface

Returning a Product

In the unlikely event that your product fails to operate properly, contact Customer Service to obtain a Return Authorization (RA) number, and then send the unit back for servicing.

If the original package is not available, you can supply your own packaging as long as it meets the following criteria:

• The packaging must be able to withstand the product’s weight.

• The product must be held rigid within the packaging.

• There must be at least 2 in. (5 cm) of space between the product and the

• The corners of the product must be protected.

Ship products back to us for servicing prepaid and, if possible, in the original packaging material. If the product is still within the warranty period, we will return the product prepaid after servicing.

Preface

Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive

Directive 2002 / 95 / EC—commonly known as the European Union (EU) Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS)—sets limits on the use of certain

substances found in electrical and electronic equipment. The intent of this legislation is to reduce the amount of hazardous chemicals that may leach out of landfill sites or otherwise contaminate the environment during end-of-life recycling. The Directive, which took effect on July 1, 2006, refers to the following hazardous substances:

• Lead (Pb)

• Mercury (Hg)

• Cadmium (Cd)

• Hexavalent Chromium (Cr-V1)

• Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)

• Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)

In accordance with this EU Directive, products sold in the European Union will be fully RoHS-compliant and “lead-free.” Spare parts supplied for the repair and upgrade of equipment sold before July 1, 2006 are exempt from the legislation. Equipment that complies with the EU directive will be marked with a RoHS-compliant symbol, as shown in Figure P-1.

Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive

The Eur opean Unio n (EU) Directive 2002 / 96 / EC on Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) deals with the collection, treatment, recovery,

and recycling of electrical and electronic waste products. The objective of the WEEE Directive is to assign the responsibility for the disposal of associated hazardous waste to either the producers or users of these products. As of August 13, 2005, producers or users are required to recycle electrical and electronic equipment at end of its useful life, and must not dispose of the equipment in landfills or by using other unapproved methods. (Some EU member states may have different deadlines.)

In accordance with this EU Directive, companies selling electric or electronic devices in the EU will affix labels indicating that such products must be properly recycled. Contact your local Sales representative for information on returning these products for recycling. Equipment that complies with the EU directive will be marked with a WEEE-compliant symbol, as shown in Figure

P-2.

Safety

Carefully review all safety precautions to avoid injury and prevent damage to this product or any products connected to it. If this product is rack-mountable, it should be mounted in an appropriate rack using the rack-mounting positions and rear support guides provided. To protect a frame from circuit overloading, connect each frame to a separate electrical circuit. If this product relies on forced air cooling, all obstructions to the air flow should be removed prior to mounting the frame in the rack.

If this product has a provision for external earth grounding, ground the frame to the earth using the protective earth ground on the rear panel.

IMPORTANT! Only qualified personnel should perform service procedures.

Applications

• Unbalanced AES connections can be converted to balanced by using external baluns

• RS-232/RS-422 connector included that provides Audio Metadata input to the encoders and output from the decoders

• Input and output routing

• DARS reference input (back module BNC or breakout cable)

• Input SRC (Sample Rate Conversion)

• Audio Test tone generator

AAC and Dolby-encoded signals must be decoded for any audio processing tasks (such as voice-over or mixing) in any other audio elements.

Typically, Dolby E is used in contribution applications; AC-3 is used for distribution applications (transmitting into the home). AAC is used in contribution and distribution applications.

Due to high levels of heat dissipation, the modules should not be installed in frames without fans.The modules cannot be installed in FR6802 6800/7000 series frames.

This switch selects between various control and feedback parameters.

Navigation toggle switch This switch navigates up and down through the available

control parameters:

• Down: Moves down through the parameters

• Up: Moves up through the parameters

Control LEDs Various lighting combinations of these Control LEDs

(sometimes referred to as “Bank Select LEDs”) indicate which bank is currently selected. See “Bank Select LEDs”

on page 21 for more information.

Monitoring LEDs Each 6800+ module has a number of LEDs assigned to

indicate varying states/functions. See “Module Status LED

Descriptions” on page 66 for a description of these LEDs.

Local/remote control jumper

• Local: Locks out external control panels and allows

card-edge control only; limits the functionality of remote software applications to only monitoring the APM6800+/APM6801+.

• Remote: Allows remote or local (card-edge)

configuration, operation, and monitoring of the module.
