DAS 8.4 Plus Installation and Operation Manual
INSTALLATION
Power Supply Connection:
Install the 7-pin DIN connector into the receptacle on the DAS 8.4 Plus. When
ready, plug the Lump-N-Line power supply cable into the appropriate AC receptacle.
Connecting The Digital Inputs, Outputs, PIP, remote control inputs and OC’s:
NOTE: Refer to the connection grid on page 17.
The DAS 8.4 Plus interfaces to your equipment are through plug-in euroblock
rear panel terminals. Refer to the supplied connection template. Remove each
screw terminal, strip each conductor and insert the conductor into the terminal and
screw down the capture screw. The terminals accommodate wire sizes from 16 - 28
AWG solid or stranded wire.
It is recommended that all cables connected to the DAS 8.4 Plus be looped
through ferrite cores to suppress RF. Surge protection with RF filtering such as the
Tripp Lite “ISOBAR 4” is also suggested for the power transformer. The purchase
of an inexpensive uninterruptible power supply (UPS) will provide back up in case
of power outages. Check out our web site for lightning protection links.
Remote Control:
Most front panel functions of the DAS 8.4 Plus may be remote controlled via
plug-in euroblock terminals located on the rear panel. The DAS 8.4 Plus accepts
momentary contact closures, open collector or 5-volt TTL/CMOS logic levels.
Open collector status is provided. Multicast mode requires a sustained contact
closure on remote input 16. NOTE: Refer to the connection grid on page 18.
Serial Interface:
The Serial Interface uses a multi-drop RS-232 transceiver.
CAUTION!
Installation of the DAS
8.4 Plus in high RF
environments should be
performed with care.
Shielded cable is sug-
gested for all control,
audio inputs and out-
puts. All shields should
be tied to the “CHAS-
SIS GROUND” termi-
nal. The station
ground should be con-
nected to the chassis
ground screw (CH1)
located behind J1 as
viewed from the rear.
