This product manual uses the following safety terms and symbols to identify
certain conditions or practices. See the 6800+ Safety Instructions and
Standards Manual for more information.
Table P-4 Safety Terms and Symbols
Symbol Description
WARNING: Identifies conditions or practices that can result in
personal injury or loss of life — high voltage is present.
Uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product’s enclosure
may be sufficient to constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.
CAUTION: Identifies conditions or practices that can result in
damage to the equipment or other property. Important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions are
included in the literature accompanying the product.
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:
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.

Equipment
(WEEE) Directive
Figure P-1 RoHS Compliance Symbol
The European Union (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.
The DA-6804+D series of distribution amplifiers is designed to distribute serial
digital signals according to SMPTE259C, 292M, 424M and DVB-ASI standards.
The individual modules are available as follows:
DA-DHR6804+D is a dual channel 3 Gb/s HD/SD-SDI distribution amplifier
with reclocking. See page 3 for a list of its main features.
DA-DH6804+D is a dual channel 3 Gb/s HD/SD-SDI distribution amplifier. See
page 4 for a list of its main features.
DA-DSR6804+D is a dual channel SD-SDI distribution amplifier with
reclocking. See page 5 for a list of its main features.
DA-DS6804+D is a dual channel SD-SDI distribution amplifier. See page 7 for a
list of its main features.
DA-HRO6804+D is a 3 Gb/s HD/SD-SDI single channel optical to electrical and
electrical to optical converting distribution amplifier. See page 8 for a list of its
main features.
DA-DHROE6804+D is a 3 Gb/s HD/SD-SDI dual channel optical to electrical
converting distribution amplifier. See page 9 for a list of its main features.
DA-DHREO6804+D is a 3 Gb/s HD/SD-SDI dual channel electrical to optical
converting distribution amplifier. See page 10 for a list of its main features.
DA-DHROO6804+D is a 3 Gb/s HD/SD-SDI dual channel optical distribution
amplifier with dual electrical outputs. See page 12 for a list of its main
features.
Each distribution amplifier consists of a front module and a back module, and
operates in FR6802+ series frames.
Each distribution amplifier, with its corresponding back module, occupies two slots
in the frame. Ten distribution amplifiers can be loaded in a frame.
Each distribution amplifier contains two inputs and eight outputs, and can be
configured as a single channel (1×8_ACO or 1×8) or two independent channels
(2_1×4). Each FR6802+ frame can provide up to 20 channels for serial digital
signal distribution.
The DA-6804+D series is featured as “green” (power saving). The power can be
shut down automatically if no input signal is detected. Power consumption should
be reduced if any output BNC is not terminated.
The setup, control, and monitoring can be controlled locally via jumpers on the
front edge of the front module with LED display; or remotely via RS-232 ports or
Ethernet connection using an ICE6800+ and 6800+ETH Ethernet connection and
Harris CCS control software. CCS remote control provides additional control
functions that are not included in local control mode.
This section provides the main features for each of the DA-6804+D series of
distribution amplifiers.
The main features for the DA-DHR6804+D are listed below. Figure 1-1 shows a
basic signal flow diagram for this distribution amplifier module.
