A-AS 6/2 – Safety Instructions

. Safety Instructions

General

• READ these instructions.

• KEEP these instructions.

• HEED all warnings.

Exemption from liability

• beyerdynamic GmbH & Co. KG will not be liable if any damage,

injury or accident occurs due to negligent, incorrect or inappropriate

operation of the product.

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

6. Clean only with dry cloth.

7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with

the manufacturer’s instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat

registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that

produce heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-

type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than

the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third

grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided

for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,

consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched

particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point

where they exit from the apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by

the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used,

use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to

avoid injury from tip-over.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused

for long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is

required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such

as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled

or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been

exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has

been dropped.

Location

• The equipment must be set up so that the mains switch, mains plug

and all connections on the rear of the device are easily accessible.

• If you transport the equipment to another location take care to

ensure that it is adequately secured and can never be damaged by

being dropped or by impacts on the equipment.

Fire hazard

• Never place naked flames (e.g. candles) near the equipment.

Humidity / heat sources

• Never expose the equipment to rain or a high level of humidity. For

this reason do not install it in the immediate vicinity of swimming

pools, showers, damp basement rooms or other areas with unusually

high atmospheric humidity.

• Never place objects containing liquid (e.g. vases or drinking glasses)

on the equipment. Liquids in the equipment could cause a short

circuit.

• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,

stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

Connection

• The equipment must be connected to a mains socket that has an

earth contact.

• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched

particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where

they exit from the apparatus.

• Lay all connection cables so that they do not present a trip hazard.

• Whenever working on the inputs and outputs of the equipment

switch off power.

• Check whether the connection figures comply with the existing

mains supply. Serious damage could occur due to connecting the

system to the wrong power supply. An incorrect mains voltage

could damage the equipment or cause an electric shock.

• Please note that different operating voltages require the use of

different types of power cable and plugs.

Please refer to the following table:

• If the equipment causes a blown fuse or a short circuit, disconnect

it from the mains and have it checked and repaired.

• Do not hold the mains cable with wet hands. There must be no

water or dust on the contact pins. In both cases you could receive

an electric shock.

• The mains cable must be firmly connected. If it is loose there is a fire

hazard.

• Always pull out the mains cable from the mains and/or from the

equipment by the plug – never by the cable. The cable could be

damaged and cause an electric shock or fire.

• Do not use the equipment if the mains plug is damaged.

• If you connect defective or unsuitable accessories, the equipment

could be damaged. Only use connection cables available from or

recommended by beyerdynamic. If you use cables you have made

up yourself, all claim to warranty is null and void.

• In order to disconnect the receiver from AC power, switch it off and

disconnect the power plug from the power socket.

Maintenance

• Only clean the equipment with a slightly damp or dry cloth. Never

use solvents as these damage the surface.

Troube shooting and servicing

• Do not open the equipment without authorisation. You could

receive an electric shock. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

• Leave all service work to authorised expert personnel.

2. Disposal

• This symbol on the product, in the instructions or on the

packaging means that your electrical and electronic

equipment should be disposed at the end of its life

separately from your household waste. There are separate

collection systems for recycling in the EU. For more

information, please contact the local authority or your

retailer where you purchased the product.

4. General Information

• The WA-AS 6/2 antenna splitter is a 6-way wideband antenna

splitter operating in the frequency range of 470 to 832 MHz.

• With one WA-AS 6/2 antenna splitter you can operate up to 36

TG 1000 diversity receivers (cascaded) with only two antennae.

• For the diversity operation the WA-AS 6/2 is provided with two

antenna inputs per antenna path and six outputs, one of them is

optimised for looping through to other splitters. The operation is

possible with antennae that are directly or remotely connected.

• Both antenna inputs provide a supply voltage for active antennae

or antenna amplifiers.

• LEDs on the front display the status of the supply. The white “OK”

LED (, , , ) means current output in the permitted range.

The red “Ovl” LED (, , 쐅, 쐈) means current output above

the permitted limit of 200 mA.

A-AS 6/2 – Mounting and Installation

. Mounting and Installation

• For the installation into a 19" rack the WA-AS 6/2 antenna splitter

is provided with 19" holes .

• The split antenna outputs are connected to the antenna inputs of

the receivers via the supplied BNC patch cables. In order to ensure

the diversity operation, each receiver must be supplied with an A

and a B antenna signal!

• Connect the WA-ATDA directional antenna or the WA-ATO

omnidirectional antenna to the antenna inputs A and B “Prim In”

(쐉, 씎) or “Sec In” (씈, 씍). The antenna does not need a

separate supply. It is directly supplied via the antenna input. For

each antenna input, a maximum of 200 mA is available for the

antenna supply.

• There is no separate on/off switch for supplying antenna

amplifiers such as the WA-AMP2. The antenna amplifiers are

supplied via the inputs. If the antenna supply of 200 mA available

at the antenna input is exceeded, e.g. when using several active

antennas/amplifiers, the WA-AMP2 antenna amplifier can be

powered with an optional power supply unit.

• Conenct the antenna splitter with the supplied power cable to

an appropriate mains socket via the mains connection 씏. Switch

on the antenna splitter with the on/off switch .

Important notes

• The antenna connections have a DC voltage of 8 V DC. In order

to avoid a short circuit, they should not touch the housing of the

rack.

• For the connection of remote antennae use the WA-AC antenna

cable from beyerdynamic. The longer the cable, the higher the

attenuation of the high frequency signal.

• The connected antennae and the antenna splitter must have the

same frequency range of 470 – 832 MHz.

• By cascading several TG 1000 diversity receivers you can create

larger multi-channel systems by using the antenna splitter.
