HW Manual-6

DESCRIPTION

The ECS 62 is a plug-in module for the ECB 62 Base.

Once installed, the Base can accommodate both stereo and
mono audio. Included on the module is a duplicate of the
Base’s Audio Bridge, with the exception that Port 1 has no
external input connection, and the Mono Program Output is
eliminated. The stereo module mounts on top of the ECB 62
motherboard and is designated as the Left channel.

The ECS 62 installs by temporarily removing the top

cover of the ECB 62 and seating the card onto factory
installed standoffs on the motherboard. See Figure 8 below.

Warning: Proper static discharge measures must be

followed when installing or configuring this card.

ECS 62 LEFT CHANNEL FEATURES
• Six Port Selective Audio Bridge, control is combined with

the ECB 62 Right channel Audio Bridge.

• Hardware Pad switches set Input attenuation on Ports 2-6.
• Software Programmable Level controls on all Inputs and

Outputs combined with the Base’s Right channel Levels.

• Port 1’s mono inputs deliver signal to both Right and Left

channels of Port 1.

• Internal hardware jumpers provide mono Outputs.

STEREO & MONO OPERATION

Both mono and stereo equipment are accommodated by

installing the ECS 62 into the ECB 62 and placing the internal
Mono Output jumpers to their “mono” positions for mono
equipment. Mono Input signals must be wired to both the Left
and Right Inputs of the Base. Both Left and Right Port
Outputs produce the same mono signal. See page Manual-12
for mono source cable wiring.

Since Port 1 is designated as the Program Output, it does

not have a Mono jumper. Both mono and stereo Outputs are
provided simultaneously from Port 1.

Note: Audio levels from the ECS 62 are not monitored by

the ECB 62 Base.
