1[AC IN] Connector
Connect to the AC mains using the supplied AC power cord.
First connect the power cord to the DME Satellite, then in-
sert the power cord plug into an AC outlet.
2Ground Screw
For maximum safety be sure to securely connect the DME
Satellite ground screw to an earth connection. The supplied
power cable has a three-prong plug that will ground the unit
when the plug is inserted into an appropriately grounded
three-prong type AC mains outlet. If the AC outlet is not
grounded, be sure to ground the unit by using this ground
screw. Correct grounding will effectively eliminate hum
noise and interference.
3[NETWORK] Connector
This is a 100Base-TX/10Base-T Ethernet connector for con-
nection to a computer or to another DME series unit in the
network. See “Ethernet Connection ([NETWORK] Con-
nector)” on page 24 for connection details.
4Dip Switch
This 6-bit dip switch enables you to select the [REMOTE]
connector function or initialize the DME Satellite, depend-
ing on its setting at the startup of the device. To switch be-
tween RS-232C and RS-422 for the [REMOTE] connector
function, turn off the power to the device, set the dip switch
as shown below, then turn on the power to the device again.
See page 35 for the DME Satellite initialization procedure.
RS-232C RS-422
5[REMOTE] Connector
This 9-pin D-SUB connector allows connection to a Yama-
ha AD824 or AD8HR remote head amplifier or an RS-
232C/RS-422 compatible controller such as those from
AMX or Crestron. See “Remote Connection ([REMOTE]
Connector)” on page 30 for connection details.

Even when the power switch is turned off,
electricity is still flowing to the product all the
minimum level. When you are not using the
product for a long time, make sure to unplug the
power cord from the wall AC outlet.
CAUTION
NOTE
Use a STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable for this connection to
prevent electromagnetic interference.
If you do not plan to initialize the DME Satellite,
set all dip switch bits (excluding one bit for the
RS-422 setting) in the upper position.
