DESCRIPTION
The Orbis SU 63 system unit is used for remote “under the table”
installations in conference rooms.
In order to connect external components such as buttons, micro-
phone, headphone or loudspeaker, the system unit provides one
5-pin and two 7-pin Phoenix®connectors.
By using the RJ45 sockets the system unit is connected to the
control unit and to the previous system unit or microphone unit.
The Orbis SU 63 system unit can be used as a chairman unit with
microphone, clear and function button or as a delegate unit with
one microphone button.
The microphone button is used to turn the microphone on or off. By
using the function button the chairman can interrupt the discussion
and mute all activated delegate microphones. By using the clear
button the chairman can turn off all activated delegate microphones.
Depending on the configuration of the Orbis CU control unit one
of the following operating modes is possible:
Normal: Each participant can turn on his/her microphone until the
number of open microphones is achieved.
FiFo: If the selected number of open microphones (NOM) is
exceeded, the microphone of the participant who turned on his/her
microphone first is turned off when another participant turns on
his/her microphone.
Voice-controlled Activation: The microphone is turned on when
the participant speaks into it, until the number of open micropho-
nes is achieved.
The system units are connected in a daisy chain to the Orbis CU
control unit, i.e. the first system unit is connected to the control
unit, the second system unit is connected to the first, the third
system unit to the second and so on. For connection standard CAT5
cables are used. Thus, one cable ensures the audio transmission,
power supply and control.
Connection to a control unit without redundancy
A maximum of 50 system units can be connected to one line of the
Orbis CU control unit, i.e. a total of 100 microphone units can be
operated with one Orbis CU control unit.
Connection to a control unit with redundancy
A maximum of 50 system units is connected in a ring to the
Orbis CU control unit, i.e. the last microphone unit is connected to
the previous system unit and the control unit. The redundancy
provides maximum reliablility. Should a defect in a cable occur at
one side of the system unit, the system unit will not fail to operate,
because it will still be supplied via the cable from the other side.
The cable in question or a defect system unit as well can be replaced
during operation without causing any problems with the other
system units.
Supplied without CA OL loudspeaker

Installation into armrest

ARCHITECT’SSPECIFICATIONS
Digitally controlled system unit for use as chairman or delegate
microphone unit.
Shielded fully metal housing with integrated mounting brackets for
a remote installation e.g. under a table or vertical into an armrest.
In order to connect external components such as buttons, goose-
neck microphone, headphone or loudspeaker the system unit
features a 5-pin and two 7-pin Phoenix®connectors.
When configuring as a chairman microphone unit a maximum of
3 external buttons can be connected: for turning the microphone on
or off or entering a request-to-speak, for clearing all active delegate
microphone units and for priority (mute or normal) or a freely
programmable function in conjunction with the serial interface on

When configuring as a delegate microphone unit, an external
button for turning the microphone on or off or entering a request-
to-speak can be connected.
Depending on the configuration of the control unit the following
operating modes are possible: Normal – each participant can turn
the microphone on or off, FiFo – when the NOM is achieved and
another microphone will be activated, the one that was
activated first will be turned off, Voice Activation – as soon as
someone speaks into the microphone, it is turned on.
The microphone unit is connected via two RJ45 sockets to the
control unit or another microphone unit/system unit.
