DCS:link TM connection between Controller and Base
Any standard CAT-5, CAT-5e or CAT-6 (Ethernet) cable may be used at any length up to 300ft/100meters. The
cable may be hot-plugged into either Controller or Base at any time with power turned on or off. The green LED next
to the DCS:link jack lights continuously when the Controller and Base are functioning properly. The LED blinks when
the DCS:link is unconnected or not functioning properly.
Powering the Remote Preamp
Simply connect your IEC power cable to an AC electrical outlet. The DCS remote Preamp has no power switch. The
orange LED on the Base Logo Panel lights to indicate the Base is receiving AC power. The Base provides power to the
Remote through the DCS:link cable.
WARNING! The DCS Remote Preamp operates under a fixed voltage and may be damaged by incorrect input
voltage! Depending on in what country your DCS Remote Preamp was purchased, it may be rated for 100V, 120V or
240V input. Use the DCS Remote Preamp only under power conditions from the region in which you purchased the
unit. Check underside of remote Preamp Base to check input voltage. Replace the fuse with the same type only.
