Connecting to the iDR-4(8)
You can connect
either or both expanders according to the requirements of your
application. Note that the iDR-in and iDR-out analogue
expanders are also available. The iDR D-in AUDIO OUT
connects to the iDR-4(8) AUDIO IN. The iDR D-out AUDIO IN
connects to the iDR-4(8) AUDIO OUT. Ensure that the
expander DR-Link IN connects to DR-Link on the iDR-4(8) it is
associated with. If both expanders are used with the same
iDR-4(8) then daisy chain from DR-Link OUT of one to DR-Link
IN on the other. DR-Link can also be daisy chained from or to
iDR-switch units if you are using them as well.
Fully expanded iDR-4(8)
The diagram below shows
the iDR-8 with both the input and output digital expanders
fitted. Note the connection of DR-Link which is daisy chained
from one unit to the next. If an iDR-switch unit is also fitted
then daisy chain DR-Link from the last expander to the switch
unit. Make sure you plug into the correct DR-Link socket.
Use CAT5 STP cable. A pair of standard 2 metre cables is
provided with each expander. Maximum cable length is 250
metres. This means that the expander units can be used for
remote audio over CAT5 cable.
