Rane ECS Hardware (ECB 62e and ECM 82e) - Manual (Page 5)

HW Manual-5
ECB 62e Base - Rear Panel Description
ቢ PORT 1 MIXER INPUTS: MIX 1 thru MIX 6 connect to the MIX OUTs of the ECM 82e Mixers via the 12-pin
Euroblock.
ባ PORT INPUTS: P2 thru P6 connect to balanced line sources via this 15-pin Euroblock. When the ECS 62 Stereo Option
card is installed, these are the Right channel Inputs. See page HW Manual-6.
ቤ ECS 62 PORT INPUTS: Connects the Left channel Inputs. See page HW Manual-6.
ብ PORT OUTPUTS: This 8-pin Euroblock provides P1, P1 MONO and P2 Outputs, and the 12-pin Euroblock provides P3
thru P6. (P1 MONO is used for the ECM 82e Echo Canceller Reference.) When the ECS 62 Stereo Option card is installed,
these are the Right channel Outputs.
ቦ ECS 62 PORT OUTPUTS: Connect the Left channel P1 and P2 Outputs from the 8-pin Euroblock, while P3 thru P6 are
delivered from the 12-pin Euroblock. (P1 Mono Not Applicable—available at
ብ.)
ቧ ECS EXPANSION port: This RJ12 mod jack and cable (included) is an Expansion data interface to control and communi-
cate with the ECM 82e Mixers. This proprietary high speed data interface cannot be used with non-ECS products. During
power-up of the Base, all connected Mixers are polled, then sent their respective data, from the Base’s non-volatile memory.
The Base then polls the Mixers at one minute intervals checking for dropped or added mixers. If found, the Base resets.
ቨ RW 232 CONTROL - DEVICE ADDRESS: Sets the RW 232 address for the ECB 62e. Each RW 232 unit requires a
different address. If the RW 232 Control Device Address is set to an invalid address, the COM LED continually flashes.
The Device Address can be changed without power cycling the unit. See page HW Manual-13.
ቩ RW 232 CONTROL - INPUT: This DB-9 female connects to the RS-232 output of the controller (or PC), or the OUTPUT
of another RW 232 unit connected to the controller. Rane uses a standard RS-232 interface using Rane’s RW 232 protocol
operating at 19.2 kb. Units connect by daisy-chaining the products on a serial bus, OUTPUT to INPUT.
ቪ RW 232 CONTROL - OUTPUT: This DB-9 male connects to downstream RW 232 units.
ቫ POWER input jack: This 5-pin DIN connects to the included RS 3 power supply, or daisychained with the Power Loop
cable from the ECM 82e connected to the RS 3 power supply. Warning! Connect the power supply DIN connector to the
Base BEFORE connecting to AC power, otherwise damage may occur. See page HW Manual-11. A maximum of 3 units
may be daisy chained off of one RS 3 power supply (1 ECB 62e Base and 2 ECM82e Mixers or 3 ECM 82e Mixers).
ECB 62e Installation Notes
If an ECS 62 Stereo card is to be installed in the ECB 62e, install the required mono jumper on the ECB 62e mother
board before installing the ECS 62 (see page HW Manual-6).
The ECS Expansion port is the control between the ECB 62e and the ECM 82e’s. Using the supplied RJ12 cable
connect the ECM 82es to the ECB 62e. Note: The ECM 82e’s do not use RW 232 addressing. The ECS address for the
ECM 82es determines the Mic number on the ECM 82e. ECS address 1 is Mixer 1, Mics 1 thru 8. ECS address 6 is Mixer
6, Mics 41 thru 48. Only use termination on the last Mixer when using four or more Mixers. ECS termination is located
inside the ECM 82e.
