Warning
Avoid damage from condensation by waiting for the device to adapt
to the environmental temperature. Proper operation can only be
guaranteed between temperatures of 5º C and 45º C and a maxi-
mum relative humidity of 80%, non-condensing.
Ensure that the unit has suffi cient air circulation for cooling.
Retain the protective cap if the optical port is unused. This will pro-
tect against soiling which can lead to malfunction.
CHAPTER 3: Installation
Installing the Device
1. Open the packaging and check that the contents have been
delivered complete and undamaged.
2. Fix the device in a 19’’ frame with four screws, or place it on

Warning
This device MUST be connected to the mains using the three-cord
power leads supplied with the system. Only supply the voltages and
signals indicated (84 V – 264 V).
This device may operate with only one power supply. To provide
power supply redundancy, it is recommended to connect both PSU 1
and PSU 2 to independent power supplies with separate fuses.
5. Connect the signal cables1for the digital audio signals to the
DSUB-25 connectors (TASCAM pinout - see page 49).
1 signal cables are not included in delivery
7. Using the power cords provided connect both PSUs to a
matching power supply:
6. Optional: Connect an USB cable to the USB port for remote
control or fi rmware updates. This requires the D.O.TEC® USB
driver (Windows) being installed fi rst. The driver and the instal-
lation instructions are available at www.directout.eu.

CHAPTER 4: Operation
© 2013 DirectOut GmbH
Introduction
This chapter describes the basic operation of the device. Note that
throughout this manual, the abbreviation FS refers to sample rate or
sample frequency. So, when dealing with scaling factors, the follow-
ing sample rates can be written as:
• 44.1 kHz = 1 FS; 88.2 kHz = 2 FS
or
• 48 kHz = 1 FS; 96 kHz = 2 FS
The green LEDs (PSU 1 & PSU 2) indicate that a working power
supply is connected to the power supply unit. Note that an unlit LED
does not guarantee that the device is free of voltage. To ensure
that the device is completely disconnected from mains voltage, the
power chords must be disconnected.
Global Control
The control on the right of the front panel indicates the power sup-
ply. Power switches are on the back panel:
Power 2 Switches
Enable / disable power supply.
PSU 1 & PSU 2 2 LEDs (green): indicate the status
of both power supply units
LED OFF = Power supply inactive
LED ON = Power supply active
