I
NSTALLATION
The CADI is intended for use on a desktop, or attached to the optional Alesis BRC
Rollaround Stand, available from your dealer. Attach the CADI's bottom panel to the
baseplate of the BRC Stand via the four included screws, NOT to the side panels. The
CADI is not rack-mountable.

ONNECTIONS
The master M20 connects to the CADI via a standard Category 5 cable, terminated at both
ends with RJ-45 connectors (these cables are common in Ethernet systems). All other slave
ADATs connect to the system via the optical and 9-pin cables, as described in the M20
manual.
Do not connect the RJ-45 connectors of the CADI, RMD, or M20 to any other type
If you are also using the Remote Meter Display (RMD), the master M20 patches into the
RMD via an RJ-45 cable. The RMD then patches into the CADI with a second RJ-45 cable.
With multiple M20s and RMDs, each M20 feeds an RMD. The RMD that connects to the
master M20 then patches to the CADI.
AC P
OWER
The CADI works with any AC voltage from 90 to 250 volts, 50 to 60 Hz. This eliminates the
need for transformers or voltage switches. The CADI ships with an IEC-spec power cord
for the country to which the CADI was shipped.
The ground connection is an important safety feature designed to keep the chasis of
electronic devices such as the M20, CADI remote, or RMD at ground potential.
Unfortunately, the presence of a third ground pin does not always indicate that an outlet is
properly grounded. Use an AC line tester to determine this. If the outlet is not grounded,
consult with a licensed electrician. When the AC current is suspected of having unstable
voltage and/or frequency, a professional power conditioner should be used.
The CADI is supplied with a standard detachable power cord. If the AC cable is too long
or short for the installation, you may substitute a UL-approved power cable of the proper
length, available in many electronics or computer stores (type "NEMA to CEE").
When powering up, turn on the master ("ID1") M20 first, then any slave M20s, then any
RMDs, and finally, the CADI.

of equipment or to an Ethernet network. Connect only to Alesis
products.
The CADI's IEC-spec AC cord is designed for connection to an outlet that
includes three pins, with the third pin connected to ground. Do not
substitute a non-grounded AC cord or lift the ground.
