VORTEX 6, 4, 2.6 and 200V P.22
5.1 E.U.I.2 (Extended User Interface)
CAUTION! Always switch off and unplug the VORTEX from mains, before
making alterations to the E.U.I. card.
The E.U.I. card contains the Rear XLR Panel as standard. Other input cards are
available (See 5.1.1 What Are The Possibilities Using The E.U.I.2?).
To remove the E.U.I.2 unscrew the two Phillips head screws at the left and right
end of the XLR-Panel and carefully slide out the E.U.I.2.
To refi t the E.U.I.2, carefully insert it. Pay attention that the cable is not clamped.
ATTENTION! Don’t forget to tighten the screws!
5.1. 1 What Are The Possibilities Using The E.U.I.2?
The E.U.I.2 is a very powerful interface, which allows access to most of the
system parameters, such as volume, input signal, mute, output current, clip
signal, temperature and more. You can use the E.U.I.2 as a fi lter, remote control,
signal processing device and more… Please contact your dealer/distributor or
CAMCO to customise the E.U.I.2 according to your wishes.
5.2 CAI (CAMCO Audio Interface)
CAI is a bus system, in which all signifi cant device functions can be monitored
externally and remotely controlled using a master PC. Up to 99 devices can be
controlled in parallel in each phase of the bus system, which simply consists of
a two-core insulated cable. For more complex operations, the Master can serve
multiple busses. For more information, please contact your dealer or distributor.
CAI allows:
To control the output-level of each Channel independently
(exception: mono modes, only Channel A is affected)
To mute each channel independently
(exception: mono modes, only Channel A is affected)
To switch the VORTEX into Standby (and back again)
To monitor temperature, output-signal, clip, output-current.
5.2.1 Wiring
To connect the VORTEX to your CAI system use a fully-wired telephone-type
cable with RJ12 connectors. For longer distances, use higher grade cable, like
RS485, DMX512 for AES/EBU digital audio. Using the second connector, CAI
signals can be sent to other VORTEX amplifi ers (or to other CAI controlled
devices). A linear network topology is recommended with 100 Ohm termination
at its end. Please refer to RS485 specifi cations.
