Important
Compliancy
The equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits of the CE test. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. The
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and if not installed and used in
accordance with the user manual it may cause
harmful interference to radio communications.
You are cautioned that any changes or
modifications not expressly approved in this manual
could void your authority to operate this equipment.
Main lead wire ring
The wires in the main lead are coloured in
accordance with the following codes:
Green-and-yellow Earth
Blue Neutral
Brown Live
The colours of the wires in the mains lead of this
apparatus may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, so
please proceed as follows:
The green-and-yellow wire must be connected to
the terminal in the plug marked with the letter E or
with the safety earth symbol or marked with green-
and-yellow colour. The blue wire must be
connected to the terminal marked with the letter N
or marked with black colour. The brown wire must
be connected to the terminal marked with the letter
L or marked with red colour.
The equipment must be connected to earth
Safety
Check that the operating voltage of the unit is
identical with the voltage of your local power
supply. If a voltage conversion is required, consult
your DIS dealer or qualified personnel.
Should any liquid or solid object fall into the
cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by
qualified personnel before operating it further.
Unplug the unit from the wall outlet or set the Main
Power switch to OFF if it is not used for several
days.
To disconnect the cord, pull it out holding the plug.
Never pull the cord itself.
Installation precautions
Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal
heat built-up. Do not place the unit on a surface
(rugs, blankets, etc.) that may block the ventilation
holes.
Do not install the unit in a location near heat
sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place
exposed to direct sunlight, excessive dust or
humidity, mechanical vibration or shock.
To avoid moisture condensations do not install the
unit where the temperature may rise rapidly.
Cleaning
To keep the cabinet in its original condition,
periodically clean it with a soft cloth. Stubborn
stains may be removed with a cloth lightly
dampened with a mild detergent solution. Never use
organic solvents such as thinners or abrasive
cleaners since these will damage the cabinet.

Repacking
Save the original shipping carton and packing
material; they will become handy if you ever have
to ship the unit. For maximum protection, re-pack
the unit as originally packed from the factory.
If not supplied with the equipment, a complete
transportation and storage box system is available
from DIS. We recommend you to use this system
for long-term protection and care.
Warranty
The individual units in the DCS 6000 system are
minimum covered by 12 months warranty against
defects in materials or workmanship.

Unit operating instructions
IT 6108 Infrared Transmitter
Features
The control console is be able to transmit up to
eight sound channels (FM) to different carrier
frequencies,
•Every transmitting channel can be separately
switched on.
•Transmitting channels on which no interpreter
sound is present automatically transmit the
original sound
•All transmitting channels can be listened to
directly at the transmitter via a receiver (IR test
diodes).
•Up to 20 DIS series IR15-xx Infrared Radiators
can be directly linked up.
•Cascade coupling feature for additional
languages
Description
The IT 6108 Infrared Transmitter is designed in a
standard 2HE 19” box.
The IT 6108 Infrared Transmitter is part of the
DCS6000 which serves the cordless sound
transmission with the aid of infrared light.
The sound signal is thereby converted into a
frequency-modulated infrared light signal and
emitted via transmitting diodes. With the DIS series
of IR15-xx Infrared Receivers the light signal is
recorded and re-converted into a sound signal,
which can then be heard on a set of headphones.
Different frequencies of up to 8 channels can be
transmitted simultaneously with an FM narrow
band modulation. The IT 6108 Infrared Transmitter
is used for modulating the sound signals on the
different carrier frequencies and for amplifying.
The IT 6108 Infrared Transmitter is designed in a
standard 2HU 19” box.
Seven interpreted languages and the original or
eight interpreted languages can be transmitted. Two
or more IT 6108 can be cascade coupled for adding
more interpreted languages to the system.
User Controls, indications & connectors
Front plate controls
The IT 6108 Infrared Transmitter features the
following controls and indications:
qPower ON SWITCH
On the front right-hand side of the IT 6108 there is
a POWER switch for switching power ON.
qPower ON led
On the front right-hand side of the IT 6108 there is
a green POWER ON LED which shows whether the
unit is switched on.
qTest LED (3x)
These LED’s are used for testing the IR
transmission on the front of the IT 6108, by using
an IR15-xx IR-receiver
Channel setting elements
The operating elements of the eight infrared
channels are located on the front side of the
console. Each infrared channel consists of the
following:
qAF LED
This LED is flashing if the original voice or
interpreter voice is present at the channel.
qON LED

This LED lights if the channel is switched ON by
use of the DIP switch
qDIP switch
This DIS has 4 individual switches:
1. ON / OFF switch. If set to ON this channels is
transmitting the channel selected by the Rotary
Switch.
2. Not used
3. Not used. Has to be in ON position always
4. Frequency band switch. In ON position; CH O
to CH 13. In OFF position CH 14 to CH29.
When using with IR15-06 and IR15-12 this
switch has always to be in ON position.
qRotary Switch
This switch is used for channel setting. This can be
used to set the channels independently of the
frequency band switch.
Connectors
The IT 6108 contains the following sockets on the
rear side:
qPower connector
Connection for main power with an integrated ON /
OFF switch.
qInput (A-H)
Eight XLR sockets feeding the analogue sound to
the transmitter.
qLINK
A BNC socket for the cascading with other IT 6108
qHF output 50 ohm

System settings
The output channels are each set by use on the DIP
Switch and the Rotary Switch as shown in the
following figures.
The channel setting are normally done that the first
channel (A) is set to CH 0 (original) the next (B) to
CH1 and so on.
Setting CH 0 to CH 13
For using CH 0 to CH 13 set the DIP switch as
shown in the figure.
For each of the 8 channels set the wanted Channel
Number by turning the Rotary Switch to the wanted
channel. The numbers on the Rotary switch
corresponds to a Channel Number as show in the
figure below.
If a channel is not in use set the DIP switch for that
channel to OFF.
Important: No channels on any IT 6108 in the
system must be set to the same Channel Number
Important: Do not set the rotary switch to
position B at any of the rotary switches where
the DIP switch is set for “channel 0 to 13”, as it
will make the transmitter not working
Setting CH 14 to CH 29
For using CH 14 to CH 29 set the DIP switch as
shown in the figure.
For each of the 8 channels set the wanted Channel
Number by turning the Rotary Switch to the wanted
channel. The numbers on the Rotary switch
corresponds to a Channel Number as show in the
figure below.
If a channel is not in use set the DIP switch for that
channel to OFF.
Important: No channels on any IT 6108 in the
system must be set to the same Channel Number

Normal Operation
Powering up
Switch on power at the IT 6108. After powering up,
the ON LED will light up.
Check with an IR15-xx Infrared Receiver holding
in front of the 3 test LED’s, that there is sound on
all the channels set to ON.
Check when signal is present to the channels, that
the green LED is flashing indicating proper level to
the channel.
If the LED is not flashing the sound level present on
the Analogue Audio Line Input Connector is too
low.
If the LED is lighting constantly the sound level
present on the Analogue Audio Line Input
Connector is too high.

Setting of audio level on AO 6008
When using the AO 6008 with the IT 6108 Infrared
Transmitter, the audio output level on the AO 6008
has to be set to match the sensitivity on the
transmitter.
The correct level to be set on each connected
channel on the AO 6008 is –12db.
