Setting up the SDC 8200 system
This chapter provides information on how to set up and operate the
SDC 8200 conference and interpretation system.
Preparing the SDC 8200 system components for set up
Conference and interpreter consoles
After unpacking the consoles, you simply have to connect them to the cen-
tral unit and initialize them.
Central unit
왘 Connect the mains cable to socket .
왘 Connect the mains cable to the mains (100 – 240 V, 50 – 60 Hz).
Rack-mounting several SDC 8200 CU central units
For larger conference and interpretation systems with several SDC 8200 CU
central units, we recommend mounting the central units into a rack.
Warning! Danger of life-threatening electric shock!
If you connect the central unit to an ungrounded power
outlet, persons touching the central unit or units con-
nected to it may receive a life-threatening electric shock.
왘 Connect the central unit only to properly grounded
power outlets.
Caution! Danger of heat damage!
When rack-mounting the central units, please consider
that, during operation, the ambient temperature within
the rack may significantly rise above room temperature.
The central units can be damaged by high temperatures.
왘 The ambient temperature within the rack must not
exceed the temperature limit specified in the specifi-
cations.
왘 Make sure not to affect the ventilation required for
safe operation or provide additional ventilation.
