Installation General Installation Hints Please consider besides these general hints also any product-specific hints in the "Installation" chapter of this manual. Unpacking Check the equipment for any transport damage. A unit that is mechanically damaged or that has been penetrated by liquids or foreign objects must not be connected to the AC power outlet or must be immediately disconnected by unplugging the power cable.

Installation/Maintenance/ESD tor) and that also takes into consideration the EMC requirements. 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.

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.

Repair/Disposal SMD Components Studer does not keep any commercially available SMD components in stock. For repair the corresponding devices should be purchased locally. The specifications of special components can be found in the service man- ual. SMD components should only be replaced by skilled specialists using ap- propriate tools.

Appendix Before putting into operation, the system must be checked for internal for- mation of condensation or ice. Only with a minute formation of ice, direct evaporation (sublimation) may be expected; otherwise the system must be heated and dried while switched off. A system without visible internal formation of ice or condensation should be heated up with its own heat dissipation, as homogeneously (and subse- quently as slow) as possible;...

In any case Studer has to be informed immediately upon complete or partial reverse engineering.
D21 MultiFeed / MasterSync BASIC INFORMATION The Studer MultiFeed and MasterSync units are housed in 19", 1U enclo- sures. The distributor section is common for both MultiFeed and MasterSync. It distributes one word clock signal to six outputs, and up to four different AES/EBU signals to 16 outputs.
D21 MultiFeed / MasterSync Redundancy Input Option When using this option (see chapter 1.2 below), all main inputs are equipped with an additional redundancy input. Automatical switchover to the corre- sponding redundancy input takes place if one or more of the main inputs do not receive a valid AES/EBU signal.

Mains Cable The supplied mains socket has to be fitted with a mating power cable incl. plug by an electrician, if your local Studer agency or your dealer should not have added a fitting power cable. Please consult the “Safety” section at the very beginning of this manual.

D21 MultiFeed / MasterSync This pin array is used for installing the redundancy input option (refer to chapters 1.2 and 1.3.3). If no redundancy input option is installed, the following pins must be con- nected with jumpers: J17-J18, J19-J20, J21-J22, and J23-J24 (default set- ting).
D21 MultiFeed / MasterSync APPLICATIONS Digital Mixing Console MultiFeed In most applications, the different output signals of a digital console have to be distributed to different targets. For example, the main output has to be distributed to the master control room, to a digital harddisk workstation, and to several other recording devices.
D21 MultiFeed / MasterSync Emergency Feeds Each of the MultiFeed’s inputs can be equipped with an additional input when using the redundancy input option. It automatically switches over to the corresponding redundancy input if one or more of the main inputs do not receive a valid AES/EBU signal.
