Please observe that a Chairman Unit can always be
switched ON as long as the number set in ‘Max.
Total Speakers’ are not exceeded.



Max Requests

“Max Requests” defines how many delegate units
that can be inserted into the list of delegates
requesting to speak at the same time.

Values : {0, 1, …, 255}



Operation Mode

This menu point has two settings:

• Operation mode

• Interrupt

•

Operation mode

The “Operation Mode” determines the behaviour of
the microphone system.

Values: {Auto, Manual, FIFO, VOX}:

• Auto (or Automatic) mode allows for the

microphone units to be switched on
immediately upon pressing the microphone
ON/OFF button.

This is indicated by a red light in the
‘Speak’ lamp in the microphone unit.
Pressing the microphone ON/OFF button
again will turn the microphone off

A Chairman Unit is always in Auto or VOX
mode.

• Manual mode features a request list, where

‘Delegates’ are inserted in a queue upon
pressing the microphone ON/OFF button.
This is confirmed by a steady green light in
the ‘Request’ lamp in the delegate unit. It is
possible to cancel the request by pressing
the button again.

The microphone can only be switched on
from a PC running SW 6000 software or
from a control system like AMX or
Crestron. This will be indicated by red light
in the ‘Speak’ lamp in the microphone unit.
At this point the delegate can switch off the
microphone by pressing the ON/OFF
microphone button.

Although it is possible to switch to this
mode in a stand-alone-system, this mode is
only used with an attached PC running SW
6000 software or using with a control
system.

• FIFO is an automated mode. The

microphone unit functions in the same way
as in automatic mode as long as the number
of turned on delegate units is less or equal
to the selected maximum speakers.

When the max. number is reached, the next
delegate pressing the ON/OFF button will
be put in the top of the request queue. This
is indicated by the green ‘Request’ lamp
flashing slowly.

Danish Interpretation Systems User Manual

More delegates will be put in the request
queue when they press their ON/OFF
buttons, until the maximum of requests is
reached. Their green ‘Request’ lamps will
light up steadily.

When one of the turned ON microphone
units is switched off, the first delegate unit
in the queue is automatically switched ON,
and the next delegate unit in the queue will
flash with the green ‘Request’ lamp.

This mode will normally be used with only
1 as maximum speakers.

• VOX, voice activation mode allows for the

microphone units to be switched on
automatically if speaking in the microphone
or by pressing the microphone ON/OFF
button.

This is indicated by a red light in the
‘Speak’ lamp in the microphone unit.
Pressing the microphone ON/OFF button
again will turn the microphone off.

The microphone turns of automatically
after finished talking after the time defined
in the “Release Time” setting (se later
paragraph), which normally is 4 seconds.
The microphone can also be turned off by
pressing the ON/OFF button.

A Chairman Unit is always in Auto or VOX
mode

•

Interrupt

The “Interrupt” setting determines the behaviour of
the microphone units.

Values: {None, Lower, Lower+Same}

None

When “None” is selected and the number of open
Delegate units has reached the number specified in
the setting “Max. Delegate Speakers” no more
delegate microphone can be opened. Pressing the
microphone buttons will not turn on the microphone

but 3 flashes in the green LED will indicate, that the
maximum number has been reached.

It is similar for Chairman units if the number of
open units (Chairman and Delegate) has reached the
number specified in the setting “Max. Total
Speakers”.

Lower

If however “Lower” is selected a chairman will
interrupt (switch Off) the first switched On delegate
unit if the number of open units (Chairman and
Delegate) has reached the number specified in the
setting “Max. Total Speakers”.

Lower+Same

If “Lower+Same” is selected a delegate unit will
interrupt (switch Off) the first switched On delegate
unit if the number of delegate units has reached the

General guidelines

Connect the CU 6005/6010/6011 to the various
DCS 6000 units using Cat5 or Cat5e FTP or STP
screened cables.

The operation of the DCS 6000 units is found in the
User Manual for the specific units.

Please observe the following guidelines:

• Maximum cable length in one chain is 200

m (before repeating). 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 650 m.

• Although the DCS-LAN Network Output

connectors (CU 6005: A1 plus A2, CU
6010/6011: A1, A2, B1 or B2) have a
125W supply, this 125W power is not all
available with long cables, as there will be
a power drop in the feeding cable from the
CU 6005/6010/6011 to the units connected.
If the feeding cables are short and the
cables between the units are short, more
units can be connected than if the feeding
cable is long and/or the cables are long

Type Diameter Square

AWG22 0.64 mm 0.32 mm2

AWG23/1 0.57 mm 0.25 mm2

AWG24 0.53 mm 0.22 mm2
AWG26 0.42 mm 0.14 mm2

between the units. Please consult the next
section ‘Maximum number of units to be
connected’.

• The maximum number of languages

configured on chain A (A1 or A2) or B (B1
or B2) is 16. If more languages are
required, Interpreter sets for those
languages have to be divided between both
chains (A and B) – this is only applicable
for the CU 6010/6011. 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 unit has to be
terminated with an external termination, as
the CS 6032 does not have an internal
automatic termination.

It is desirable that the square of the feeding cables
especially but also the interconnection cables are as
big as possible to minimize the voltage drop in the
cables. Cat 5/Cat5E cables are delivered in various
gauges:

The following table is showing the Diameter/square
for various AWG types:

Built into 19” Racks

The unit has a built-in fan taking air in at the right
side of the unit and blowing the hot air out at the
right side. That allows units in 19” racks to be

Cabling
CAT5

The DCS 6000 system uses CAT5, CAT5e or
CAT6 FTP or STP cables with screened RJ45
connectors.

EIA 568-B wiring shall be used.

It is important to use only FTP or STP
(screened) cables and screened RJ45 connectors
and not UTP cable, which is unscreened.

How to wire a CAT5 (EIA 568-B) Cable:

Pin Function Connector #1 Connector #2

1 In-going + ORG/WHT ORG/WHT
2 In-going - ORG ORG
3 +48V GRN/WHT GRN/WHT
4 0V BLU BLU
5 0V BLU/WHT BLU/WHT
6 +48V GRN GRN
7 Outgoing - BRN/WHT BRN/WHT
8 Outgoing + 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 and

the wiring spec. as stated in CAT5 (EIA

568-B) have to be followed.

CAT6 can thus only be used for longer cable draws
terminating in wall outlets or patch panels.
