Installation & Connections
Throughout this section reference is made to “software parameters.” These are part of the Graphical User Interface,
which is covered in detail in Chapter 2.
Rack Mounting
The Omnia-6EX requires 3RU (5.25” [37 mm]) of rack space. Rack mount the unit using four rack screws. If only
two screws are going to be used, they should be in the bottom holes in the Omnia front panel. No other two-screw
mounting arrangement will prevent distortion of the front panel casting! Adequate ventilation should be provided,
and it is always good engineering practice to allow one blank rack space immediately above and below the Omnia,
especially if equipment generating significant heat is located below the unit. Install a 1RU (1.75”) vented or solid
panel to fill these spaces.
The processor should be installed into a thoroughly grounded 19” equipment rack. Refer to Chapter 4, “Processor
Interfacing”, for additional considerations on where to physically locate your processor.
AC Connection (IEC)
The Omnia-6EX utilizes a heavily filtered, universal AC power-entry module. Its integral power switch is located
just above the IEC power cord receptacle. The Omnia6-fm's voltage–sensing, switching power supply allows it to
operate on AC mains voltages from 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. In the USA, plug the provided IEC type AC power
cord into the unit and then into a grounded AC outlet. Outside of the USA, you must use the appropriate power cord
that complies with local electrical regulations.
Press the “I” side of the rear-panel power switch to turn on the unit. The Omnia-6EX is designed to be continuously
powered, however, pressing the “O” side of the switch turns off the unit for servicing.
When power is first applied, it takes approximately ten seconds to load the DSP code from the rear-panel PCMCIA
