Connecting the optical microphone

CAUTION! Risk of damage to fiber optic cable!

Fiber optic cable must not be bent like conventional cable!

￿ When installing fiber optic cable, make sure not to bend it beyond a bend radius of 50 mm.

￿Before connecting the optical microphone, remove the protections caps from the microphone connections 1 and 2 of the central unit. Keep the protection caps in a safe place for reuse during transport or storage. They protect the microphone connections against dirt.

￿ Connect the duplex connector of the optical microphone to the micro- phone connections 1 and 2 of the central unit. Please observe the correct insertion direction of the connector. The duplex connector is connected the correct way round when the label on the connector is facing downwards as shown.

Switching the central unit on/off

After connection to the mains, the device switches on automatically and the ON button lights up.

￿ Press the ON button to switch the MO 2000 CU central unit on or off.

Note:

If the power supply is interrupted for several seconds (e.g. due to a power failure), the device switches on automatically even if it was switched off before.
