CHAPTER 3: Installation
Avoid damage from condensation by waiting for the device to adapt to the
environmental temperature. Proper operation can only be guaranteed between
temperatures of 5ºC and 45ºC and a maximum relative humidity of 80%, non-
condensing.
Ensure that the unit has sufficient air circulation for cooling.
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 a non-slip
horizontal surface.
WARNING!
Do not cover the fan outlets and the slots at the sides of the device!
Do not block the fans by putting objects through the protective grid!

AIRAIR
page 17 of 48ANDIAMO Hardware Guide - Version 1.0
CHAPTER 3: Installation
Do not connect voltage sources to the analog outputs. This may cause damage at
the output stages.
5. Connect the signal cables for the analog audio signals to the
DSUB-25 connectors.
WARNING!
6. Connect a network cable to the RJ45-socket MGMT to control the device via
network.
7. Using the power cord provided connect the PSUs to a matching power
supply.
The delivered power cords provide a self-locking mechanism to prevent an
accidental disconnect. To unlock the connection press the red release
mechanism.
page 18 of 48 ANDIAMO Hardware Guide - Version 1.0
CHAPTER 3: Installation
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 PSU1 and PSU 2 to independent
power supplies with separate fuses.
WARNING!
NOTE
8. Turn on the power switch and check the status of PSUs on the front panel:
9. Install globcon on your computer
To access all functions the use of globcon is required - see page 12.
10. Launch globcon control
Select the port of the network where your device is connected to
Sidebar - My Devices - Click Discovery Methods
and set Ethernet Discovery to ‘ON’
Select the device from the list and click 'Add'
page 19 of 48ANDIAMO Hardware Guide - Version 1.0
CHAPTER 3: Installation
Confirm your selection with ‘OK’
The device is displayed in the overview of globcon
Double-Click the tiny display of the device to open the control.
More information and video tutorials about globcon are available
at www.globcon.pro.
NOTE
The IP address of the device is either fixed to 10.0.0.32 or obtained from a DHCP
service (default) - see "IP Reset" on page 23
NOTE
For globcon control of the device the network infastructure is required to have
ports 5002, 5003 and 5004 unfiltered for TCP traffic.
Since the device discovery uses multicast-DNS (mDNS), the device may be
discovered but cannot be controlled if the ports 5002, 5003 and 5004 are filtered.

CHAPTER 4: Operation
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 following sample
rates can be written as:
• 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz = 1 FS
• 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz = 2 FS
• 176.4 kHz or 192 kHz = 4 FS
