User manual ELECTRO-VOICE UCC 1

[. . . ] Owner's Manual UCC 1 USB-CAN CONVERTER IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. 1. Do not expose this apparatus to dripping or splahing and ensure that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, are placed on this apparatus. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. [. . . ] Setting the switch to GROUNDED galvanically connects the CAN-bus to the USB-port ground and thus to the PC. Fig 2: UCC1 rear view 4. CAN BUS IN / OUT connectors These two sockets are for connecting EV-appliances that are furnished with serial CAN-bus. Both connectors are connected in parallel for convenient carrying through CAN-bus data. MONITOR connector The MONITOR connector provides audio signal output for the monitor bus of EV P-Series Remote Amps. The monitor bus allows listening to the audio signal of any amplifier within the system, without the need for additional wiring. 18 3. Installation 3. 1 Unpacking The UCC1 package includes the following parts: 1 UCC1 USB-CAN CONVERTER 1 Front panel 19", 1HU 2 CAN-TERM 120 Ù CAN-bus terminator-plug 4 Rubber feet 1 USB cable 1 Owner's manual Upon receiving your UCC1, please inspect the contents of the package for loss or damage. If any of the here listed parts are missing or damaged, please immediately contact your distributor or a TELEX / EVI Audio service center. 3. 2 Rack-Mounting The compact UCC1 adapter is mainly aimed for connection to a laptop or notebook computer. However, the supplied 19" front panel allows trouble-free integration in a rack shelf system. For mounting the 19" front panel, please proceed as follows: 1. Loosen the two center screws on the UCC1's panel (1). Loosen the four corner screws on the UCC1's panel (2). Remove the original UCC1 panel (3). Fig. Fix the 19" front panel on the UCC1. In doing so, make sure not to damage, bend or stress the STATUS indicator and the ISOLATED / GROUNDED switch. Reinsert and tighten the two center screws of the UCC1 19" panel (5). Reinsert and tighten the four corner screws of the UCC1 enclosure (6). Now you are able to install the UCC1 in a rack shelf system securing it with the four rack-screws on the sides. 19 4. Initial Operation Follow these four steps when operating the UCC1 for the first time: Connect the UCC1 to the PC and install the CAN drivers, install the IRIS-software, connect the desired appliances to the CAN-bus, and set the ISOLATED / GROUNDED switch accordingly. 4. 1 PC Connection and CAN Driver Installation Use the supplied USB cable for connecting the UCC1 to your PC's or Notebook's USB-socket. The computer system normally recognizes the UCC1 at once and the operating system asks for the corresponding driver software. This files are stored in the root directory of the IRIS CD. Insert the IRIS CD in your CD-drive and select the corresponding drive in the installation dialog. The operating system will find all necessary driver files there. [. . . ] all participants on the bus are connected via one single two-wire line (Twisted-Pair-cable, with or without shielding), which, at its ends has to be terminated using 120 Ù bus termination plugs. Each appliance on the bus can communicate with any other unit without restriction. Up to 100 network devices can be connected on a single CAN-Bus. Because the CAN-interfaces of all EVI Audio appliances is galvanically isolated from the rest of the circuitry, network cabling also carries a common ground (CAN_GND), which guarantees that all CAN-interfaces in the network are connected to the same ground potential.
