1.4 Installation instruction
The N8000 has to be set up and installed so that both air supply and ventilation are ensured on
both sides of the device. The direction of ventilation is from left to right when you look at the front
faceplate. Devices with an opposing routing of air flow should not be installed in the same rack.
When installing the N8000 in a rack, a free air duct between the sides of the N8000 and the side
panel of the rack to the upper rack ventilation must be observed in order to ensure sufficient air
ventilation. There must be at least 100 mm free space for ventilation above the rack.
Standard installation rails should be used when mounting an N8000 in transport racks in order to
prevent twisting of the front faceplate.
The N8000 must be protected against: dripping/splashing water, direct solar radiation, high
ambient air temperature or direct impact of heat sources, high moisture, heavy vibrations and
dust deposit.
If these conditions cannot be ensured permanently, maintenance is obligatory at regular intervals
in order to prevent any breakdowns which are mainly due to negative environmental influences.
If the N8000 is transported from a cold to a warm environment, moisture may condense at the
core. The device should not be started up before warming to the changed temperature (approx.
after 1 hour). If a solid or liquid is in the housing, cut the device off from the mains power at once
and have the device checked by an authorized service center before re-using it.
1.5 IRIS-Net
The IRIS-Net (Intelligent Remote & Integrated Supervision) PC software is used to configure and
operate the N8000 system controller. The configuration of the N8000 can be done offline (i.e.
without connection between the PC and the N8000) on the PC. After the connection between the
PC and the N8000 has been established via Ethernet, the configuration can be transmitted to it.
In addition to configurations, IRIS-Net can also be used for extensive supervision, control and
monitoring of N8000 system controllers (and Electro-Voice Precision Series Remote Amplifiers
which are connected to them).
Please see the short IRIS-Net instruction in the menu: > .
ATTENTION:
The maximum ambient air temperature of +40°C should not be exceeded in order to en-
sure failure-free operation.
