system. Just connect the cable between
the female 5-pin DIN-type connectors on
the back panels of both the Model 60A
and 61, and viola, you’re done.
Note: If you require a longer cable, be
certain to buy a MIDI-type cable that
has all 5 pins wired. If they aren’t all con-
nected, the Model 61 will not operate. For
best performance, the cable that connects
the Model 60A with the Model 61 should
be limited to 50 feet (15.4m).
AC Mains Power
The Model 60A is internally configured to
operate from either 100, 120, or 220/240V,
50/60Hz. In most cases, units shipped to
North America are factory selected for
120V operation. Units bound for Japan
are selected for 100V, while our friends
“down under” and in Europe receive units
set for 220/240V. Before connecting the
Model 60A to mains power, check that it
is configured to match the local mains
voltage. Look on the back panel, adjacent
to the power entry connector, for the
configured voltage(s). Note than an incor-
rect configuration could seriously damage
the unit. Should it be necessary to change
the unit’s operating voltage it must be
performed only at the factory or by an
authorized service technician.
The Model 60A uses an IEC standard
connector to mate with the AC mains cord.
The wire colors in the AC mains cord
should conform to the internationally
recognized CEE color code and must
be wired accordingly:
Connection Wire Color
Neutral (N) Light Blue
Line (L) Brown
Protective Earth (E) Green/Yellow
Safety Warning: The Model 60A does
not contain an AC mains disconnect
switch. As such the mains cord plug
serves as the disconnection device.
Safety consideration requires that the
plug and associated outlet be easily
accessible to allow rapid disconnect-
ion of mains power should it prove
necessary.
As soon as mains power is applied, the
Model 60A’s power present LED will light.
Configuration
Once the Model 60A and Model 61 have
been installed, the only configuration issue
you need to address is input sensitivity.
Input Sensitivity
Input sensitivity configuration switches are
associated with each of the four stereo
line-level inputs. For correct Model 60A
operation the switches, located on the
back panel directly adjacent to the input
jacks, must be correctly set. For an input
signal with a nominal operating level of
–10dBV set to switch to the out position,
for a +4dBu input signal set the switch to
the in position.
Operation
Now that you’ve installed and configured
the system, you’re ready to go. You should
find operation very easy.
Status LEDs
There are two LEDs on the Model 60A
Central Controller’s front panel. The power
