    Safety Information Safety Information To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove covers. No user- serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel (i.e., persons having appropriate technical training and experience neces- sary to be aware of hazards to which they are exposed in performing a repair action, and of measures to minimize the danger of themselves).
  • Page 4 Installation/Maintenance/ESD General Installation Instructions Please consider besides these general instructions also any product-specific instructions in the “Installation” chapter of this manual. Unpacking Check the equipment for any transport damage. If the unit is mechanically damaged, if liquids have been spilled or if objects have fallen into the unit, it must not be connected to the AC power outlet, or it must be immediately disconnected by unplugging the power cable.
  • Page 5 ESD/Repair Class I Equipment (Mains Operation) Should the equipment be delivered without a matching mains cable, the latter has to be prepared by a trained person using the attached female plug (IEC320/C13 or IEC320/C19) with respect to the applicable regulations in your country.

When deciding between radial, surface, or combined grounding, the advan- tages and disadvantages should be carefully evaluated in each case. • Use shielded cables where shielding is specified. The connection of the shield to the corresponding connector terminal or housing should have a large surface and be corrosion-proof.
  • Page 7 ESD/Repair material in which the replacement assembly was shipped. If this should not be the case, any claim for a possible refund will be null and void. • Unpacked ESD sensitive components should only be handled in ESD protected areas (EPA, e.g. area for field service, repair or service bench) and only be touched by persons who wear a wristlet that is connected to the ground potential of the repair or service bench by a series resistor.
  • Page 8 Repair/Disposal SMD Components Studer has no commercially available SMD components in stock for serv- ice purposes. For repair, the corresponding devices have to be purchased locally. The specifications of special components can be found in the serv- ice manual. SMD components should only be replaced by skilled specialists using ap- propriate tools.

    OnAir 1000 Digital Mixing Console Touch Screen The LC display has a resolution of 640 × 200 pixels. A cold-cathode fluo- rescent lamp (CFL) provides the back light, having a typical lifetime (50% brightness) of 10'000 to 15'000 hours (meaning about 13 to 20 months of continuous operation).

  • Page 176: Standard Power Supply Versions

    OnAir 1000 Digital Mixing Console Standard Power Supply Versions The power supply is made of a primary switching power supply unit, de- livering a 24 V voltage to the secondary Power Supply that converts this voltage to the required ±15 V, +5 V, and +24 V. On the Primary Supply unit (89.20.2013) the mains voltage selection is performed automatically.
  • Page 177 OnAir 1000 Digital Mixing Console Alarm Output Power alarm is triggered if the internal or external supply voltage drops below 23.0 V; then the POWER ALARM LED on the front panel is illuminated, and a power alarm signal is output on pin 4 of the DC supply connector.

The power alarm output is a relay contact (max. 40 V/200 mA). Its behaviour depends on jumper J1 on the PSU sub board (see component layout diagram in the circuit diagrams chapter).

  • Page 181: Level Meters

    OnAir 1000 Digital Mixing Console Level Meters Since the audio signals delivered from the DSP Board have an internal, so- called “left-justified” format, an interface is required for connecting the meters. This interface is integrated on the Level Meter Board (1.942.613.xx) and provides conversion to analog format for two stereo channels.

    OnAir 1000 Digital Mixing Console CONFIGURATION Software Configuration The software configuration defines the functionality of the console. SW configuration is described in chapter 11 of the OnAir 1000 Operating Manual. 3.1.1 N–1 Configuration Unlike in analog mixing consoles (where the N–1 signal is derived from the output sum by subtracting a channel signal), the N–1 are separate buses in the OnAir 1000.

  • Page 184: Hardware Configuration

    OnAir 1000 Digital Mixing Console Hardware Configuration The hardware needs correct addressing to allow communication between the software and the installed PCBs. At power-on the software checks if the hardware configuration has changed since the last power-off. In case of a failure (or a configuration mismatch), an information message is dis- played to inform the user on the failure (or changes).

    OnAir 1000 Digital Mixing Console 3.2.2 Output Unit Configuration Digital Output Units The Digital Output Units (on positions 13 and 14) have two independent digital outputs conforming to the AES3-1992 standard. Each of these has two parallel output drivers. Since the digital output units are software- controlled, two DIP switches (marked A and B on the PCB) are used for selection of the desired output signal.
