Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. [. . . ] Input Module Up to 500 feet of Cat-5e cable can be used to connect each system component Output Modules or Personal Mixers Infinite number of ANet components The distance between each A-Net device can be up to 500 feet (150 meters). Your cable length performance will be affected by a number of factors including the quality of the cables used, and the number of devices such as cable couplers used or passive wall panel interconnections in use. When using the optional AN16SBR System Bridge, the cable length specification applies to the total cable length between the two ANet devices being connected with the AN16SBR System Bridge. This is similar to what happens when using an inline coupler to extend cable lengths. Total A-Net cable length can be 500 feet (150 meters) Pro16 Input System Bridge A-Net Out System Pro16 Output Bridge A-Net In The maximum cable distance includes all passive devices such as System Bridges in the calculation. A-16D A-Net Distributor user GuiDe 5 Premade cables in a variety of lengths and colors are available at most computer outlets. Cables can be extended by using a simple passive device called an inline coupler to add length to existing cables (as long as you do not exceed the specified maximum cable length). Note that it is possible that the maximum cable length specification can be compromised by using inline couplers or other passive connection devices. AC Line Conditioning Aviom products are digital devices and as such are sensitive to sudden spikes and drops in the AC line voltage. Changes in the line voltage from lightning, power outages, etc. , can sometimes damage electronic equipment. To minimize the chance of damage to your equipment from sudden changes in the AC line voltage, you may want to plug your equipment into a power source that has surge and spike protection. Power outlet strips are available with builtin surge protection circuits that may help protect your equipment. Other options for protection of your equipment include the use of an AC line conditioner or a battery backup system (sometimes referred to as an uninterruptible power supply, or UPS). Power Supplies Your Aviom product uses a DC power supply that has a twoprong power cord. The prongs on the power supply are identical, meaning that there is no need to orient the plug in a specific direction in the power outlet. Some products with twoprong power cords have polarized plugs that can only be inserted into an electrical outlet one way. The power supply that is shipped with your Aviom product is a universal switching type. This means that a separate power supply is not needed to use the products with the AC power systems found in most countries. You should always use the power supply that shipped with your product. When travelling, you may need plug adapters to use the power supply with the AC outlet plug shape variations in use throughout the world. Should you need to replace the power supply that came with your product, we recommend using only a power supply that meets the following specifications.

(See the diagram above. ) Rack Mounting The A16D ANet Distributor can easily be mounted in a standard 19inch wide equipment rack. The A16D occupies half of the rack width, allowing two A16D units to be placed side by side on a standard rack shelf. These shelves are available as an accessory from many audio and studio suppliers. The depth of the hole in the A16D bottom panel is 0. 25 inches (6. 35 millimeters). Do not insert more than 0. 25 inches of thread into the mounting holes on the bottom of your A16D Distributor. [. . . ] · Connect the power supply for the Personal Mixer you want to power remotely to the same numbered DC Power input on the rear of the A16D. A-16D A-Net Distributor user GuiDe 12 · On the front panel of the A16D note that the yellow chan nel LED will light for any ANet output that has DC power connected. · Connect a Cat5e cable from the powered ANet output on the A16D to the ANet input on the Personal Mixer. · The Personal Mixer's ANet Active LED will light to indicate that a valid ANet signal is present. · Continue connecting up to eight Personal Mixers in this manner. In this example, DC power is being added to ports 1 and 6 on the A-16D. [. . . ]
