Use
The 9014 requires 12-24v DC to be supplied externally. There are two ways of getting
power into the unit:
• Connect a 24v 1A DC power supply to the 2.4mm barrel connector. Up to nine more
9014s may be powered from the paralleled combicon connector.
• Connect a 12-24v DC power supply to the combicon connector.
A pair of 9014 Fibre Interface units are used to replace a standard category 5 Soundweb
network cable. Each fibre cable will transfer 8 channels of digital audio plus control data.
To utilise the fibre system, each end of the fibre link requires one 9014 device. Each
device is equipped with an RJ-45 Soundweb network cable jack into which the network
cable is connected, and two snap-in SC type fibre connectors.
Two fibre cables are then required to connect between 9014 devices - this is to enable the
bi-directional data transfer.
Network socket
This connects to either the Network Out socket or the Network In socket on another unit.
The connecting cable is CAT. 5 network cable, terminated with RJ45 connectors, with all
8 cores wired straight through.
Note that the twisted pairs in any CAT.5 network cable must be wired to the following pin
pairs at each terminal:
1 (White-Orange) with 2 (Orange); 3 (White-Green) with 6 (Green);
4 (Blue) with 5 (White-Blue); 7 (White-Brown) with 8 (Brown)
Note:
Ensure that all Out sockets are connected to their correct In sockets at each end of every
cable. Connecting In - In (or Out - Out) will result in improper operation of the network.
