Preface
Standards
Appendix A: “Safety Precautions, Certifications, and Compliances” contains
product compliance and safety standards.
Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Compliance
Directive 2002/95/EC—commonly known as the European Union (EU)
Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS)—sets limits on the use of certain
substances found in electrical and electronic equipment. The intent of this
legislation is to reduce the amount of hazardous chemicals that may leach out of
landfill sites or otherwise contaminate the environment during end-of-life
recycling. The Directive, which took effect on July 1, 2006, refers to the
following hazardous substances:
• Lead (Pb)
•Mercury(Hg)
• Cadmium (Cd)
• Hexavalent Chromium (Cr-V1)
• Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)
• Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)
According to this EU Directive, all products sold in the European Union will be
fully RoHS-compliant and “lead-free.” (See our website for more information
on dates and deadlines for compliance.) Spare parts supplied for the repair and
upgrade of equipment sold before July 1, 2006 are exempt from the legislation.
Equipment that complies with the EU directive will be marked with a
RoHS-compliant emblem, as shown in Figure P-1.
Figure P-1. RoHS Compliance Emblem

Preface
Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE) Compliance
The European Union (EU) Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste from Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) deals with the collection, treatment, recovery,
and recycling of electrical and electronic waste products. The objective of the
WEEE Directive is to assign the responsibility for the disposal of associated
hazardous waste to either the producers or users of these products. As of August
13, 2005, producers or users are required to recycle electrical and electronic
equipment at end of its useful life, and may not dispose of the equipment in
landfills or by using other unapproved methods. (Some EU member states may
have different deadlines.)
In accordance with this EU Directive, companies selling electric or electronic
devices in the EU will affix labels indicating that such products must be
properly recycled. (See our website for more information on dates and deadlines
for compliance.) Contact your local sales representative for information on
returning these products for recycling. Equipment that complies with the EU
directive will be marked with a WEEE-compliant emblem, as shown in Figure
P-2.

680 Series Mounting Frames
Overview
The 680 series distribution amplifiers and mounting frames offer a
comprehensive range of signal handling capabilities for video, subcarrier, and
pulses. The equipment provides high quality, state-of-the-art circuitry that meets
the most demanding requirements for broadcast and program production
systems.
The universal mounting frames are designed to accept any type of amplifier in
any slot. Looping inputs and up to eight outputs per amplifier simplify solutions
to signal distribution and processing requirements, such as equalization,
clamping and delay.
The modular concept provides several fully wired mounting frame options that
facilitate system design and accommodate all of our distribution amplifiers:
• The FR-683 video DA mounting frame and the FR-683AV audio/video DA
mounting frame require one unit of rack space. The FR-683 and FR-683AV
contain one standard 684PS power supply. The FR-683 frame can house
any mix of up to four 8-output 680 series distribution amplifiers.
• The FR-684 Video DA mounting frame and the FR-684AV Audio/Video
DA mounting frame require two units of rack space. The FR-684 and FR-
684AV use the 684PS power supply. These frames are prewired to accept a
second optional power supply for power redundancy. A single power supply
is required per frame, while only one extra power supply is required when
several frames are interconnected.
• The FR-684 can house a mix of up to ten 8-outputs 680 series DAs.
• The FR-684AV can house five 680 series video DAs and five 880 series
audio DAs.

Figure 1-1.
The FR-683 accepts up to four 680 series video distribution amplifiers with
looping inputs, and eight outputs. This frame is equipped with one 684PS power
supply that requires either 90–135 VAC or 190–265 VAC input voltages (which
is switchable) on 50/60 Hz frequency rated at 35 VA maximum. Please refer to
“PS-684 Power Supply” on page 6 for more information.

“PS-684 Power Supply” on page 6 for more information.
There is an inter-frame DC power connector, which allows the sharing of power
supply redundancy between frames. A single power supply is required per
frame, while only one extra power supply is required when several frames are
interconnected.
Note
There is a prewired option for
an optional second 684PS
power supply, if required.

Frame Cooling
The equipment is designed to designed to operate in an ambient temperature
range of 32° F to 122° F (0° C to +50° C). No special provisions for cooling are
necessary, but you should take steps to prevent excessive heat rise in closed,
unventilated equipment racks.
Note
The FR-684AV has a prewired
option for an additional
redundant 684PS power supply,
if required.
