Model 45DR User Guide

Issue 2, January 2015

The Model 45DR provides a call light sup-

port function, allowing call light signals

associated with user devices on two Model

45DR interfaces to work together. The func-

tion also allows a Model 45DR intercon-

nected with a Model 45DC Dante to Dual

Party-Line Intercom Interface to have com-

mon call light activity. No operator action is

required for the call light support function

to perform its task. However, placing DIP

switch 1, located on the back panel, to its

on (up) position will disable the function.

USB Interface

A USB type A connector and associated

status LED is located on the back panel of

the Model 45DR. This data interface is used

only for updating the unit’s application firm-

ware. No audio data of any kind will pass

through it. For details please refer to the

Technical Notes section of this guide.

Technical Notes

3-Position Header

An internal 3-position header connec-

tor allows support for an alternate cover.

The cover, purchased as an option, has

an Anton-Bauer QR-Gold battery bracket

that is electrically wired in parallel with the

4-pin XLR DC input connector. The header,

located on the Model 45DR’s printed circuit

board, is Molex® part number 22-23-2031.

It mates with Molex housing number 22-01-

3037. To make the interconnection, sepa-

rate crimp terminals are attached to three

loose wires and then “snapped” into the

housing. Molex part number 08-50-0114

specifies crimp terminals that are appropri-

ate for 22 to 30 gauge wires. These termi-

nals are available worldwide from sources

such as Digi-Key (www.digikey.com).

Application Firmware Version

Display

As part of the Model 45DR’s power-up se-

quence the unit’s application firmware ver-

sion number is displayed. This is useful

when working with factory personnel on

application support and troubleshooting

situations. The five TO channel 2 LEDs are

used to display the major release number

with a range of 1 through 5. The five LEDs

associated with FROM channel 2 are used

to display the release sub-number which

ranges from 1 through 5. Refer to Figure 4

for a detailed view of the LEDs and the cor-

responding application firmware version

numbering scheme. The Model 45DR’s initial

application firmware release is version 2.1.

Figure 4. Detail of front panel showing the

status LEDs that display the application

firmware version. In this example, the

application firmware version is 2.1.
