• EN55103-1 (Emission)

• EN55103-2 (Immunity)

• EN60065 safety

• UL6500 safety

• FCC rules part 15, class A (Emission)

The device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions: (1) The device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) the device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in residential, commercial or light industrial environments. The equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the user manual it may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could void your authority to operate this equipment.

Important safety instructions

The equipment must be connected to earth

Warning – To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

Labels

Lightning Flash Symbol, with "The Lightning Flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous

voltage" within the product enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of shock to persons"

Exclamation Point Symbol, with "The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the

literature accompanying the product"

Check that the voltage of your local power supply is within the operating voltage of the unit (100-240V AC). If a voltage conversion is required, consult your DIS dealer or qualified personnel.

Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it further.

Set the Power switch to OFF if it is not used for several days.

Manual 01 18 04438

Installation precautions

Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat built-up. Do not place the unit on a surface (rugs, blankets, etc.) that may block the ventilation holes.

Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place exposed to direct sunlight, excessive dust or humidity, mechanical vibration or shock.

Danish Interpretation Systems User Manual

To avoid moisture condensations do not install the unit where the temperature may rise rapidly.

Warranty

When installing the unit inside a 19” rack, observe that the rack is properly ventilated. The maximum allowed temperature inside the rack is 40 °C.

Cleaning & Repacking

To keep the cabinet in its original condition, periodically clean it with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened with a mild detergent solution. Never use organic solvents such as thinners or abrasive cleaners since these will damage the cabinet.

Save the original shipping cardboard box and packing material; they will become handy if you ever have to ship the unit. For maximum protection, re-pack the unit as originally packed from the factory.

The unit is minimum covered by 12 months warranty against defects in materials or workmanship.

CU 6010 Central Unit

General description

The CU 6010 Central Unit for the DCS 6000 is the heart of the system. One CU 6010 is needed in each DCS 6000 system. The CU 6010 consist of four main parts:

• Main processor board with Power PC and DSP

• DCS-LAN Network Control Card with 4

individual DCS-LAN outputs

• 4 individual Power supplies

• LCD display and buttons for system settings

The design with built in power supply makes the unit suitable for running a small system alone or to be the Central Controller for a large system.

Features

The main features of the CU 6010 Central Unit are:

• Controls up to 4000 units (Conference units,

Interpreter units or other controllable units). This number does not include Channel Selectors, Repeaters etc. In practical use there are no limits for the number of Channel Selectors in a system.

• Designed for 31 interpreted channels and 8

open microphones

• Operated either stand alone or from an IBM

compatible PC with SW 6000 software running under Windows 2000 or XP.

• Built in Power Supplies for app 200 units

(Delegate) or app. 600 Channel Selectors

• 4 outputs for connection to Delegate Units,

Interpreter Units etc.

• Delayed switching on of power to the four

chains, to minimise the total ‘in-rush’ current on the Mains supply.

• Designed in a standard 2HE 19” cabinet.

• Functionality on the CU 6010 depends on the

Feature License uploaded into the unit.

Feature License

Front plate controls

The CU 6010 Central unit features the following controls and display:



Power switch

Switches power on to the whole system. When power is switched ON at the CU 6010 any connected EX 6010 Extension Units will automatically be powered up. An indication in the switch is lighting, when power is switched ON

The Fault LED will always light up some seconds after the unit is switched on caused by the delayed switching on of the four supplies.

As a warning the light is flashing at an internal temperature above 45°C. At a temperature above 55°C or if one of the DCS-LAN outputs is supplying no voltage, the LED is lighting constantly.

Please note that the maximum ambient temperature for the CU 6010 is 40 deg. Celsius.



Fault LED

This indication lights up, if the internal power supply is malfunctioning i.e. because of overheating or overload of a chain.

Buttons

The buttons below and to the left of the display are used when stepping through the different menus and for setting up the system:



‘-‘

The dash symbol (‘-‘) preceding a line of text identifies a submenu or a changeable parameter. The submenu or parameter can be selected by pressing the corresponding select button.

•

Four select buttons



Four buttons placed on the left-hand side of the display. Each button is associated with a line pointing towards a text line in the display. This indicates, that pushing the button ‘selects’ the functionality.

‘>’

The ‘>’ symbol preceding a line of text identifies a selected parameter. The parameter can be changed by pressing the up and down buttons. The ‘>’ symbol is shown as long as the value of the parameter currently used is the same as the value

•

Enter button

shown in the display.

The Enter button is used, when a selection is made



in the Main Menu. Pressing the Enter button concludes the selection made, and at the same time it indicates a confirmation of the possible changes made within the selection. The Menu system returns to the previous menu. Notice, that some changes are applied immediately, and confirmation is thus not required.

‘*’

The star symbol ‘*’ preceding a line of text identifies a selected parameter, where the value has been changed, but not yet confirmed. The changed value can be confirmed by pressing the Enter button, or it can be dismissed by pressing the Menu button.

•

Menu button

The Menu button is also used, when a selection is made in the Main Menu. The Menu button concludes the selection, but in contrast to the Enter button, the Menu button does not confirm a possible change made within the selection. Instead, the Menu system returns to the previous menu without confirming changes, if confirmation is required.

•

Up (▲) and Down (▼) buttons

The Up and Down buttons are used to scroll through menu items, or to increase/decrease values within a selection.

Symbols

The following symbols are used on the LCD display:



‘▲▼’

The up and down symbols shown in the right side of the display (up is shown in the first line and down is shown in the last line) indicates that the current menu consists of more than 4 menu items. It is therefore necessary to use the up and down buttons to scroll through menu items.

Indications



Cursor

The cursor is used on the LCD display to indicate, when a value is being changed. For a parameter that is subject to a change, the cursor is placed at the value of the parameter, indicating that it is about to be changed.
