Heat -
Displays the internal temperature of the unit. Press Set to toggle between
Fahrenheit and Celsius.
Phone -
dCS telephone number scrolls across the display
Part -
The control board part number (version) scrolls along the display.
S-No -
The control board serial number scrolls along the display. You will need to tell us
this number if you call us for help.
RS232 -
Displays - and allows access to – the unit’s RS-232 identity code (an address
between 0 and 99). This is used by the remote control software, to send specific
messages to specific units. Use Up and Down to change this address if you are
operating several units in a multichannel set up. On dCS 900, press (or hold
down) the Master/Slave button to change this setting.
IMPORTANT! Each unit in a daisy chain MUST be set to a different RS-232 address.
BNC O -
This feature is available on the dCS 904 only. In the dCS 900 & 902, it is
permanently set to SDIF.
Ref In -
Sets the mode of the AES Reference In / AES C Out connectors. The options
are:
Loop Loops the Reference In through to the AES C
output, with no termination resistor (termination is
then about 1kohm, so several units can be daisy
chained).
Loop.t As above, but terminates the input. Use at the end
of a daisy chain.
Int The output (and input in parallel – beware!) is
internally driven, with the same signal as AES 1.
A-SL -
Turns Auto-slaving On or Off. When set to On, connecting an AES/EBU
reference or a word clock in causes the unit to slave and lights the Slave LED.
If both are present, the unit picks the highest priority one (AES/EBU) unless the
Master/Slave button is used to move down the priority list. When set to Off, the
unit does not react when a reference is connected.
IMPORTANT! Ensure the Ref In menu item is set to Loop or Loop.t before connecting an
AES Reference.
