RegulatoryInformation
An example of this equipment has been tested and found to comply with the following European
and international Standards for Electromagnetic Compatibility (only when used with a metal
wallbox).
Radiated Emissions (EU): EN55022 (1990) Associated Equip.
Immunity (EU): EN50082/1 (1992) RF Immunity, Fast
Transients ESD
Radiated Emissions (USA): FCC part 15 Class A
v1.0 PW/JMK 21st March 1999
Importantsafetyinformation-readandfollow
It should not be necessary to remove any protective earth or signal cable shield
connections to prevent ground loops. Any such disconnections are outside the
recommended practice of BSS Audio, and will render the EMC certificate void.
We have written this guide with the aim of helping installers and sound engineers alike to
get the most out of the 9010. We recommend that you read this manual, particularly the
section on installation, before attempting to operate the unit.
We welcome any comments or questions regarding the 9010 or other BSS products, and
you may contact us at the address or World Wide Web site given in the warranty section.
MechanicalInstallation
The 9010 is designed to fit into a standard 3-gang US wallbox. Screws are provided to fix
the unit in place. An optional bezel is available to ‘dress’ the edges of the panel if
required.
Dimensions of the unit are shown below. BSS recommend the use of a metal wall box to
ensure that the installation meets necessary EMC standards. If you require suitable
wallboxes, contact your distributor
for part Z-010-BOX.

Power
The 9010 requires 24v DC to be supplied
externally. There are two
ways of getting power into the unit:
• Connect a 24v DC power supply to the
Power/Mic/Logic screw terminal block. Up to three
more 9010’s may be powered via network cabling
from the Net Out of the 9010 which has the power
supply connected (depending on cable length). Refer
to diagrams on page 7 for more details.
• If it is inconvenient to cable a DC feed into the wallbox for the 9010, power may be
applied via the network cable (on the Net In side), by using the Soundweb 9011 Power
Interface to inject 24v DC from the power supply. Up to three more 9010’s may be
powered via network cabling from the Net Out of the 9010 which has the power supply
connected (depending on cable length).
To assist calculating the maximum cable lengths between 9010s, refer to the spreadsheet
9010pwr.xls, which may be found in the soundweb designer installation, or on our
website.

Flashing - The network is initialising. If it continues to flash for more than a few seconds,
there is a cabling fault - either a double ring error or a problem with one of the cable
connectors.
Steady - This unit has become the clock master for the network.
Off - This unit is slaving to the master’s clock.

Refer to the 9088 installation guide and Soundweb Designer help for further details.
The connecting cable is CAT. 5 network cable, terminated with RJ45 connectors, with all
8 cores wired straight through.
Note that the twisted pairs in any CAT.5 network cable must be wired to the following pin
pairs at each terminal:
1 (White-Orange) with 2 (Orange); 3 (White-Green) with 6 (Green);
4 (Blue) with 5 (White-Blue); 7 (White-Brown) with 8 (Brown)

Power In
DC power input (+24V and Gnd). See Power section.
Logic In
Used to connect a switch, (eg: a push-to-talk switch) to the 9010. This input is internally
‘pulled up’ to +5V DC via a 4.7kOhm resistor, so no external voltage source is needed. A
common (ground) connection is provided. A switch may be connected between the input
and common, as shown below.

+5Vdc Out
A low current regulated +5V output for supplying power to electronics for custom
applications. No more than 100mA may be drawn. Current drawn from this output will
impact the length of network cable that may be used between the power supply and the
9010.
*refer to label on back of unit for connection positions.
Logic in
Commoned to the Logic In terminal on the Power/Mic/Logic screw terminal block.
Logic Out
Used to connect the 9010 to a ‘tally’ indicator LED etc. The logic output produces 0V or
+5V DC via an internal 440 Ohm resistor. A common ground connection is provided. An
LED connected between the output (Anode, A) and ground (Cathode, K) will illuminate
when the logic output is activated, without requiring any external current limiting resistor.
Connecting to a power supply
If using the 9010 unit without a 9011 power interface, the network and 9010 should be
connected in the following fashion:
