The Start / Stop LED is physically linked to interface pin 6 and pin 7.
MULTI MODULE ENG 14 MULTI MODULE 14.1 INTRODUCTION Each MULTI module has six switchable and/or summable stereo line inputs with optional three-band EQ. Input A through F come factory preset for Line levels. The selected source (or the sum of the selected sources) is fed through a common GAIN potentiometer that provides a variable 30dB range from -15 to +15dB gain to match the connected source to the internal 0 dBu operating level. The Equaliser (available as an option – Ref to Section Errore.
MULTI MODULE ENG 14.2 AUDIO CONNECTOR PIN-OUT Input A is electronically balanced on a pair of 1/4” Jack connector. The pin-out is the same as Stereo Module. Inputs B-C-D-E-F (Line level) are electronically balanced on Sub D 25 pin connector. Sub D connector pin-out is as follows: It is possible to make cables for connection to the Sub-D connector. In that case, metal caps for the Sub-D connector and cable with a separate screening should be used, as per the CE norms.
TELCO MODULE ENG 15 TELCO MODULE 15.1 INTRODUCTION REM SEND RECEIVE REC OUT The telco module interfaces an external telephone hybrid with the console. A separate hybrid for each Telco module will be required. It has only one mono input (Receive), the other Jack connector being used for the mix minus output (Send) to the telephone hybrid. The mix minus signal is the programme output signal with the phone signal (caller’s voice) removed.
ENG TELCO MODULE 15.2 REMOTE INTERFACE CONNECTION The 9 pin D-Type plug remote connector provides the inputs and outputs for the following functions: - Remote control for line ‘hooking’ on the external telephone hybrid External control for RING LED (i.e. RING LED on the Telco module can be driven by a suitable external command) A 15 VDC current-limited output is also provided for use with the remote control outputs. For each input you can select from 16 types of operation for the equipment connected.
TELCO MODULE ENG 15.2.2 DESCRIPTION Pins 8 and 9 are used to make RING LED on the Telco module panel blinking when a call is coming in (call signalling may be also achieved via one or two ‘red light’ lamps connected to the two Power Supply relays – see par. 15.3). The remote interface photocoupler (pin 9 = Anode and pin 8 = Cathode) must be driven by an external suitable command generated by external telephone hybrid. Typical current allowed: 5 mA (max 10 mA). Max voltage allowed: 15 V.
TELCO MODULE ENG 15.3 MODULE OPTIONS AND JUMPER SETTINGS The TELEPHONE module can be configured in different ways depending on the internal jumper options. The Jumpers are located closed to Hook switch, on the internal module PCB. When the RELAY 1 jumper (J 1) is closed, relay switch #1 inside the Power Supply closes when a telephone call comes (ring). The relay may be used to control an On Air Lamp (such as MR. LIGHT by Axel Technology).
TELCO MODULE ENG 15.4 HOOK SWITCH AND RING LED The Hook switch remotely controls the Line hooking on suitable telephone hybrids (such as Macrotel 5,7,9 and BoxTel by Axel Technology). This switch connects / disconnects the hybrid from the telephone line and mutes the channel (ie. when Hook is depressed, Receive input is automatically muted). The HOOK LED switchs on only with telephone line properly connected. Ring LED blinks when a call (ring) is coming.
TELCO MODULE ENG 15.6 MASTER MODULE 15.7 INTRODUCTION PWS L TUNER IN R L MET Master output (stereo) is electronically balanced on female Jack at 0 dBm. It outputs sum of all sources connected to MASTER bus. TUNER IN input allows to connect to the mixer an external radio receiver to monitor the aired program.

POWER SUPPLY ENG 17 POWER SUPPLY 17.1 FRONT VIEW 17.2 REAR VIEW 17.3 DESCRIPTION The Oxygen 5 Power Supply (PWS) consists of a power transformer, selectable for 115 VAC or 230 VAC operation, rectifiers, filter capacitors and voltage regulators on a circuit board. The power supply is protected by a replaceable AC mains fuse located in the power entry socket plus internal fuses on the transformer’s secondary outputs and selfprotected current-limiting regulators.
ENG POWER SUPPLY 17.4 PWS RELAYS The power supply features two built-in relays separately controlled by the MONO and TELCO modules. They are designed to illuminate external Studio and/or Control Room Warning/On Air lights (such as Mr Light by Axel Technology) showing that one or more microphones are ‘on air’. Relays are intended for low voltage electric loads (e.g. 24 V), up to 10 A. FOR SAFETY AND TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM HIGH VOLTAGE SHOCK, NEVER CONNECT AC MAINS TO PWS RELAYS.
POWER SUPPLY ENG 17.6 MAIN AC VOLTAGE SETTINGS Before connecting the Oxygen 5 to mains power, determine the actual mains voltage and confirm that the Oxygen 5 has been configured correctly. As could be expected, an incorrect mains configuration could seriously damage the unit. If the unit is to be used with a mains voltage different to that for which the unit is supplied, set the voltage change-over switch, which is placed inside the box, closed to the AC socket and the AC filter.
POWER SUPPLY ENG If one or more LEDs are still switched off: Axel Technology srl www.axeltechnology.com - open the PWS cover - verify the integrity of the 2 fuses on the PCB and replace the burned ones (fuses are rated to 1.6 A T) - close up the cover - connect the AC Mains cord only - switch on the power supply again and check whether all LEDs glow.
METERBRIDGE ENG 18 METERBRIDGE 18.1 DESCRIPTION The Oxygen 5 mixer is fitted with VU / PPM meters. VU meters respond to an average signal level, whereas PPMs respond to peak changes (The PEAK LEDs are activated by the shortest transient peak, but remain ‘on’ long enough to provide easy recognition). If a 1kHz sinusoidal signal is input to the mixer and the amplitude adjusted such that the level at the master output is 0 dBm, the meters will read 0 VU (the orange LED will glow).
ENG 18.3 TIMER By request, up to two Timer modules are available to be installed on the meterbridge. The Timer feature the time count up showing minutes, seconds and tenth of seconds if time duration does not exceed 1 hour and hours, minutes and seconds if time duration exceeds 1 hour. In particular, you can associate, by jumper, timer start toopening of slider on Mono modules and to the Start/Stop function of the Stereo modules. 19 DJ CONSOLE The DJ CONSOLE is available as an option.
