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.” (See our website for more
information.) 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 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. (See our website for more information.) 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.

Introduction
Product Description
The DA-S/SR/H/HR6802+DL series of distribution amplifiers are designed to
process serial digital television signals according to SMPTE 257C, 292M,
424M, and DVI-ASI. They can also handle other bi-level data within amplitude
and date rate limitation, such as 19.39 Mb/s and 38.78 Mb/s SSI. These
distribution amplifiers feature high reliability, excellent video performance, and
low cost.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Back Modules
DA-S/SR/H/HR6802+DL modules can be installed with double-width looping
back modules in their host frames. These modules cannot be installed in
6800 / 7000 series frames.
Figure 1-1 shows the double-width looping back connector module used by the
DA-S/SR/H/HR6802+DL.

Installation Procedures
Caution
Before installing this product, read the 6800+ Series Safety Instructions
and Standards manual shipped with every host frame installation and
operation manual, or downloadable from our website. This safety
manual contains important information about the safe installation and
operation of 6800+ series products.

Unpacking the Module
Review “Unpacking/Shipping Information” on page vii before you install
DA-S/SR/H/HR6802+DL modules.
Setting Jumpers
You need to configure modules for local or remote operation before power-up.
You can use the J1 jumper to select local control reclock setting or to select
remote control operation. See Figure 2-1 for a close-up view of the J1 jumper
set. Table 2-2 on page 9 shows the possible local reclocking mode parameters.
Follow this procedure to set the jumpers:
1. Locate the J1 jumper set on the module.
2. Place a shunt on the pin that corresponds to the mode that you want.

Installing 6800+ Modules
Back Module Types
The DA-S/SR/H/HR6802+DL modules have double-width back modules (see
Figure 1-1 on page 3). See the host frame installation and operation manual for
details on back module installation.
Installing Modules
These modules require no specialized installation or removal procedures. See
the host frame installation and operation manual for information about installing
and operating a frame and its components, or for removing components from a
frame.
These modules cannot be installed in 6800 / 7000 series frames.
Making Connections
Once you have installed the module, you can connect it to the appropriate input
and outputs.

Chapter 2: Installation and Operation
Operation
Operating Notes
When you change a control parameter on a DA-S/SR/H/HR6802+DL module,
the effect is immediate. However, the module requires up to 20 seconds to save
the latest change. After 20 seconds, the new settings are saved and will be
restored if the module loses power and must be restarted.
Understanding Parameter Types
Most module parameters are adjustable, and can be set via a CCS software
application (see “Setting Remotely Controlled Parameters” on page 10 and
“Recalling Default Parameter Settings” on page 10). However, there are some
parameters that are considered “read-only” and cannot be changed. Indicated by
the abbreviation “[RO],” these parameters provide status and feedback
information only.
Harris recommends that you use the available 6800+ software control options
(serial/local or Ethernet/remote) to aid in viewing, setting, and confirming
parameter values.
Adjustable Parameters
Two types of adjustable parameters can be changed. Numerical parameters
require you to select a value within a numerical range. Selectable parameters
require you to select a specific option. Both numerical and selectable parameter
changes are immediate. Use the available 6800+ software controls (serial
or Ethernet
Read-Only Parameters
These parameters provide status and feedback information only. They are
represented by LEDs on the front of the module’s card edge. See Figure 2-2 on
page 11 and Figure 2-3 on page 12 for the location of these LEDs.

Chapter 2: Installation and Operation
Setting Locally Controlled Parameters
For local control, the J1 jumper is used to determine reclocking mode. Table 2 -2
describes parameters that are accessible locally.
In the local control reclock setting operation mode, all of the settings’ data
status information appears on the CCS control software application control
screen; however, you cannot change any setting in this mode via the CCS
control software application.
