Shipping Contents

Your REF10 NANO was packaged carefully Nevertheless we
recommend checking the contents directly after opening the
package:
1 x REF10 NANO
1 x Power cable
1 x DC cable connector
1 x Manual
In the unexpected event that there are any visible damages
or missing items, please refer to the chapter »Safety Instruc-
tions« and »Warranty Regulations« for further details

Placing the Device

The unit should be set up as closely as possible to the devices
to which it will be connected to avoid excessive cable lengths
The four custom-designed case feet include a rubber ring pro-
tecting the ground's surface from being damaged and redu-
cing any structure-borne vibrations interfering with the unit
It is recommended to keep the device away from vibrating or
mechanically moving devices in close proximity
The device can be mounted into a standard 19" rack and will
require 1U (rack unit) Therefore, we offer an optional rack
mounting kit This includes two rack brackets which need to
be screwed to each side of the device's case Before mounting
the device into a 19" rack, please unscrew the four case feet
with a suitable screwdriver Install the device so that 1U of
rack space is left open both above and below the device to
allow for sufficient ventilation! For extra secure installation
we further recommend an additional rack mounting plate that
will prevent any long-term mechanical deformation of the
enclosure
Attention
Before installing the unit the section Safety Instructions
located at the beginning of this manual should be read
carefully! Never expose the device and accessories to
rain, moisture, direct sunlight, or excessive heat pro-
duced by radiators, heaters, or spot lights! Sufficient
air circulation in the proximity of the device must be
ensured!

Interface Connections

There are two standards with respect to interfaces and cable
termination for 10 MHz reference signals:
•
50 Ω impedance termination
This standard can mainly be found among units by Asian
Hi-Fi manufacturers, and for measurement devices in labo-
ratory applications
•
75 Ω impedance termination
This termination is more common for devices used in re-
cording, mixing and broadcast studio applications
For audiophile Hi-Fi and high-end consumer audio applica-
tions both standards are currently in use by different manu-
facturers For this reason, the REF10 NANO provides clock out-
puts with both 50 Ω and 75 Ω termination that can be used
simultaneously
MUTEC's Prime Select Cables line offers with the PSC 50 BNC
and the PSC 75 BNC excellent matching clock cables with 50
Ω and 75 Ω characteristic impedance in various lengths, exclu-
sively approved by the REF10 developer
Additionally, MUTEC's Prime Select Cables of the PSC 50 BNC
series keep the specifications aligned to the CLF200/HDF200
standards, while the cables of the PSC 75 BNC series keep the
RG-59/U, RG-598/U as well as RG-216/U standards
