SAFETY

Installation.

Unless otherwise stated TSL equipment may be installed at any angle or position within an operating temperature range of 5° - 30° C .

All TSL equipment conforms to the EC Low Voltage Directive:

EC Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC)(OJ L76 26.3.73)(LVD). Amendment: (93/68/EEC) (OJ L220 30.8.93).

In all cases, the frame of the equipment must be earthed on installation.

The earth pin on the IEC mains inlet connector is connected to the metal frame of the equipment, to 0 volts on the internal DC PSU and to signal ground, unless otherwise stated. All metal panels are bonded together.

Due consideration for cooling requirements must be given when mounting the equipment. Ideally 1RU of rack space should be left above and below the unit.

Check that the fuse rating is correct for the local power (mains) supply. Replacement fuses must be of the same rating and type for continued protection against fire risk.

Do not switch on until all connections are made.

WARRANTY, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

All TSL equipment is guaranteed for one year from the date of delivery to the customer’s premises. If the equipment is to be stored for a significant period, please contact TSL concerning a possible extended warranty period.

Failure during warranty

If any TSL product should fail or become faulty within the warranty period, first please check the PSU fuses.

All maintenance work must be carried out by trained and competent personnel.

For each item, this unique Returns Number must be included with the Fault Report sent with the unit.

A contact name and telephone number are also required with the Fault Report sent with the unit.

Fault report details required.

• Company:

• Name:

• Address:

• Contact Name:

• Telephone No:

• Returns Number:

• Symptoms of the fault (to include switch setting positions, input signals etc):

Packing

Please ensure that the unit is well packed as all mechanical damage is chargeable. TSL recommends that you insure your equipment for transit damage.

The original packaging, when available, should always be used when returning equipment..

If returned equipment is received in a damaged condition, the damage should be reported both to TSL and the carrier immediately.

AMU2-BHD+ AUDIO MONITORING UNIT

1.0 Introduction

The AMU2-BHD+ is a full rack 2RU x 310mm deep Audio Monitoring Unit with a 106 segment bargraph.

The following features are standard:

• Two HD/SDV auto sensing input with Group select.

• Four AES/EBU inputs.

• Two switch selectable stereo analogue inputs.

• One TSL bargraph.

• Phase reverse switch.

• Phase correlation bargraph.

• Re clocked output of either HD or SDV

• Decoded PAL/NTSC composite.

• Optional additive output switch selection.

• Additional SDV output if SDV is used on input

• Headphone outputs with LS muting.

• Variable stereo line output.

2.1.1 TSL Bargraph

Set-up Menus.

These are accessed via the select & change buttons located between the two alphanumeric displays to the left of the unit (see diagram above). The top display shows the function & the bottom gives the state.

1) Pressing select once gives:

P E A K H D 0

The zero toggles between 0 , 1 and 2 when the change button is pressed. 0 is off, and 1 is on and the highest level point is displayed. HD 2 operates only in the PPM mode and displays the level numerically with the reference marker. With HD 0 selected the alphanumeric display is off.

AMU2-BHD+-6 7 ISSUE 6

2) Pressing select a second time gives:

D I S P B A R

All the LEDs are lit up to the highest level displayed.

Pressing the change button gives:

D I S P D O T

Only the highest level LED is lit.

3) Pressing select a third time gives:

R S P N

1ms

Pressing the change button gives:

.1ms

This changes the response for the relevant scales. (0.1ms,1ms, 5ms 10ms, and VU integration times.)

4) Pressing select a fourth time gives:

I D 0 O N

This enables the unit to display the reference markers which are nominally set to 0dB. These are set as follows for the appropriate scales fitted: PPM 4 for UK, TEST for EBU, - 4 for VU, - 6 for DIN, 0 or Test for Nordic, -18dB or - 20 dB for Digital. When the change button is depressed the markers are not displayed and an OFF indication is displayed in the lower display.

AMU2-BHD+-6 8 ISSUE 6

5) Pressing select for a fifth time gives:

B R G T

Depressing the change button changes the brightness or intensity of the display. Successive presses decrease brightness.

6) Pressing select for a sixth time gives:

I / P : A n l g

Depressing the change button changes the input from Analogue to digital (AES).

7) Pressing select for a seventh time gives:

S C L E E B U

Depressing the change button defines which scale is in use. (EBU, DIN, PPM, Nordic or VU.)

8) Pressing select for a eighth time gives:

0 R E F

- 1 8

Depressing the change button selects the digital reference. (- 18 or –20)

9) Pressing select for a ninth time gives:

L O U D O N

Depressing the change button turns the loudness indication on or off.

2.0 Front Panel Controls

2.1 Input and Meter Selection Buttons

S/HD 1&2 Pair 1, 2 Selects A1/A2 or A3/A4 from the de-embedded HD or

SD to the meters.

Group Select Toggles to decode the required group within the

embedded audio signal.

AES1, 2, 3 & 4 Selects one of four AES signals to the meters.

Analogue 1 – 2 Analogue I/Ps. A1 (Left Channel) is fed to the left

meter and A2 (Right Channel) is fed to the right meter.

Ø Rev (Function) Momentary phase reverse between A1 and A2.

Error LED Reports red when either of the AES inputs is not

connected.

AMU2-BHD+-6 10 ISSUE 6

2.2 Output Switching

A1/A2 These buttons select either:

- The Analogue Left or Right signals of the metered

Input,

- The AES/EBU Input 1 Left or Right signals or

- The selected SDV group A1 & A2 decoded outputs to the Left or Right Output Channels.

The buttons toggle. Additive mixing is possible if two

or more buttons are selected together.

A3/A4 These buttons select either:

- The AES/EBU Left or Right signals of Input 2 or,

- The selected SDV group A3 & A4 decoded outputs to the Left or Right Output Channels.

The buttons toggle. Additive mixing is possible if two or

more buttons are selected together when Digital I/P 1 (SDV/AES) is selected on the input.

DIM Approximately 16dB of attenuation is switched into the

audio path and is effective on the loudspeaker and variable line outputs. The fixed line outputs are unaffected.

CUT The front panel button cuts the signal to the

loudspeaker and variable line outputs. The fixed line outputs are unaffected.

VOLUME The Headphones O/P and the Variable Line O/P may

be varied.

4.0 LS Output

This is a bridged amplifier therefore neither terminal should be grounded.

5.0 Notes

0 dBm = 0.775V into 600Ω i.e. 1mW power dissipation.

0 dBu = 0.775V rms = PPM 4.

Nominally, -18 dB ref 0FS = 0 dBu output.

European line-up: -18 dBu

American line-up: -20 dBu

The LF Adjust potentiometer is non functional.

All audio monitoring Calibration procedures are factory Set.
