GENERAL

The Shure DRS-10 is a digital switching system that provides remote scene selection when connected to the DFR11EQ version 5. The DRS-10 consists of a hardware adapter, a 10-position switch assembly, and a mounting kit. The DRS-10 provides remote access to all ten scenes that can be stored onboard the DFR11EQ. In addition, the DRS-10 can be customized for use in a three position switch configuration (not included).

IMPORTANT OPERATIONAL INFORMATION

The DRS-10 works only with the DFR11EQ version 5. The DFR11EQ must be in global scene mode when a switch assembly is used (refer to the DFR11EQ User Guide). No switch assembly can be used to control scene selection si- multaneously with the software. The DFR11EQ should be on with the DRS-10 plugged in to execute a scene selection.

Multiple switches can be used to control a DFR11EQ when wired in parallel (contact Shure's Applications Depart- ment for details). When using multiple devices for scene control, the most recent scene selected using any device overrides any previous selection. However, if the power is cycled (turned off, then on) the DFR11EQ may not default to the correct scene.

CONNECTING THE HARDWARE ADAPTER TO THE 10-POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY

To connect the hardware adapter to the supplied switch assembly (Figure 1):

1.Determine the distance needed between the mounting area and the DFR11EQ unit. Trim cable to size.

NOTE: Cable not supplied. A two-conductor, unshielded cable, such as a Belden 8442, is recommended. The total resistance of the cable run must be less than 100 ohms.

2.Connect terminal 1 of the switch assembly to terminal C (common) on the hardware adapter using cable.

3.Connect terminal 2 of the switch assembly to terminal S (switch) on the hardware adapter.

USING CUSTOM SWITCHES

The DRS-10 hardware adapter can be used with a custom- built switch. Refer to Table 1 for the resistor values needed in the switch to access the desired scenes.

CUSTOMIZING THE DRS-10 FOR USE IN A 3-POSITION SWITCH CONFIGURATION

To connect the hardware adapter to a 3-position switch (not supplied):

1.Determine the distance needed between the mounting area and the DFR11EQ unit. Trim cable to size.

NOTE: Cable not supplied. A four-conductor, un- shielded cable, such as a Belden 9744, is recom- mended. The total resistance of the cable run must be less than 100 ohms.

2.Connect a 3-position switch to the hardware adapter as shown in Figure 2. The switch should be wired to pro- vide a separate contact between the C (common) termi- nal and each of the three numbered terminals.

NOTE: Do not use a switch configuration which allows more than one contact-closure at a time.
