Section 2: Notes on Wiring and System Examples

2.1 Notes on Wiring and System Configuration

!1. Never connect your CS5 MK.. LAN cables to any equipment (desktop or notebook computers, etc.) other than CS 5 system components. The LAN cables will carry a 48 V supply voltage that may damage equip- ment not designed for such voltages.

2.Make all audio and LAN cable connections before connecting any Conference System component to power.

3.To avoid damage to any system component, do not lay, connect, or disconnect any cables while power to the system is on. Always disconnect the entire system from power before making any changes to the wiring.

4.To avoid interference problems, make sure that all audio cables you are going to connect to the Base Unit audio outputs are shorter than 10 feet (3 m).

5.Note that the CS 5 BU Base Unit will not function with no microphone stations connected to it (no mat- ter what other equipment you may have connected to the Base Unit). Therefore, make sure always to connect at least one CS 5 VU or CS 5 DU microphone station to the Base Unit to set up a functional CS 5 system.

•Route power cables so that nobody may trip over them or step on them. A cable getting disconnected by some- body tripping over it may cause system malfunctioning or damage to system components.

•To avoid hum problems, do not route audio or LAN cables close to power cables. In permanent installations, use separate ducts for power and audio/LAN cables.

•While LAN cables may be as long as 164 feet (50 m) without degrading system performance, keep all other ca- bles as short as possible to keep cable attenuation to a practical minimum. Check that all audio cables connected to the Base Unit are shorter than 10 feet (3 m).

•Always connect all microphone stations in any system to the Base Unit in a closed loop. Use CS5 MK.. LAN cables to daisy-chain all microphone stations from one SYSTEM connector on the Base Unit back to the other SYSTEM

connector on the Base Unit. This ensures that if one of the LAN cables breaks all microphone stations will remain operative.Important:
