3.2.5 Rack mounting
• When mounting the MCS-D 200 control unit into a 19"-rack housing leave 1 U for a ventilation panel above and
under the control unit.
• Make sure that the mains switch, mains plug and all connection on the rear of the device are easily accessible.
3.2.6 How to supply the system
• All microphone stations, D/A interfaces and adapters are powered via the system. They do not have their own power supply.
• The number of the required power supply units depends on the number of microphone stations and the system set-up
including different cable lengths and operating mode.
• The following list shows how many devices such as microphone stations, interfaces and adapters can be powered by the
system.
MCS-D 200 control unit with 1 power pack (= 2 A) for approx. 15 microphone stations
MCS-D 200 control unit with 2 power packs (= 4 A) for approx. 30 microphone stations
When the system is extended with additional power supply units:
Power supply unit with 1 power pack (= 2 A) for approx. 15 microphone stations
Power supply unit with 2 power packs (= 4 A) for approx. 30 microphone stations
Power supply unit with 3 power packs (= 6 A) for approx. 45 microphone stations
Note:
In this rule of thumb, an adapter (CA 4212/13/14 or CA 4222/23/24) approximately counts as half a microphone station.
Example of a system set-up:
1 MCS-D 200 control unit with 2 power packs . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 MCS-D 202 interpreter stations
+ 1 D/A interface
+ 2 adapters
+
1 Power supply unit with 2 power packs. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . for 30 microphone stations
+
1 Power supply unit with 3 power packs. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . for 45 microphone stations
3.2.4 How to connect a PC or media control system
• If you would like to connect a PC or media control system to the MCS-D 200 control unit, use the RS 232 connection or .
• In order to connect a PC use a standard RS 232 cable, straight - no null modem cable. If you connect other devices, please
observe the pin assignment.
• The system is configured via the MCS-D 200 control unit, please refer also to chapter 3.3 “How to operate the menu of the
MCS-D 200 control unit”.
