Getting Started
Packaging
The shipping carton and packaging materials
provide protection for the module during transit.
Please retain the shipping cartons in case
subsequent shipping of the product becomes
necessary.
Product Description
The D AD 3260 BS is a high quality AES3-id
(unbalanced 75 Ohm) to AES 3 (balanced 110
Ohm), the D AD 3260 SB a AES3 to AES3-id
converter designed primarily for broadcast and
professional applications.
D AD 3260 BS: 6 Channels of digital unbalanced
Audio (AES3-id) on 75 Ohm BNC connectors are
converted to digital balanced Audio (AES3) on 110
Ohm Weco screw terminal style connections.
Conversion is active providing 4Vpp (nom.) output
level.
D AD 3260 SB: 6 Channels of digital balanced Audio
(AES3) on 110 Ohm Weco screw terminal style
connections are converted to digital unbalanced
Audio (AES3-id) on 75 Ohm BNC connectors.
Conversion is active providing 1Vpp (nom.) output
level.
The D AD 3260 is part of the 3000 series of
MiniModules, which offer high quality, modularity
and flexibility in a very small form factor ideal for
applications where space is at a premium.
The modules can be used either stand alone using
the optional power supply brick, or as part of a
tightly integrated space saving system where up to
10 MiniModules can be mounted utilizing the
optional LYNX R FR 3005 / 3010 rack housing. This
includes integrated power supply and optional
remote control interfaces.

Module Layout
Figure 2 shows the physical layout of the D AD 3260
MiniModule.
If the module is being used in a stand alone
application then the optional power supply (R PS
3001 E, R PS 3001 U, R PS 3001-3 or R PS 3004) is
required to power the module (not shown)

Connections
Audio Input Connections
The D AD3260 MiniModule is configured with
standard 75 Ohm BNC connectors for the AES3-id
Audio connections. Connection is self-explanatory.
We recommend the use of high quality audio
cable to reduce the risk of interference or errors
due to excessive cable attenuation.
Note. Due to the compact design of the module it
will be necessary to use a connection tool to
secure the BNC video connectors to the module.
Audio Output Connections
The D AD 3260 MiniModule is configured for Weco
type audio connections for the balanced AES3
audio. These connectors should be wired in
accordance with the table below. Please use high
quality screened cable to prevent the introduction
of noise and interference to the audio signals
(twisted pair suitable for balanced digital audio
signals).

Power Connections
If using the module in a stand-alone application
use the separate R PS 1 E (for Europe), R PS 1 U
(USA) power brick option, the desk power supply R

Minimodules
DC Power Connector
The MiniModule has a captive power lead fitted to
the module, with a male 5 pin locking bayonet
connector. This connection provides DC power

Installation

Stand Alone Operation
The D AD 3260 MiniModule can be used in a stand
alone application. There are two options for the use
of the module in this way.
a) Using the R FR 3005 Rack Frame 1 option. This
allows up to any 10 of the MiniModules to be
secured onto a rack frame assembly for 19 inch
rack mounting. This keeps the modules secured,
organized and out of the way. The R PS 3001
power brick option or the R FR 3010 option is
required to power each module. Please refer to
the R FR 3005 Reference Manual supplied with
this option for more details.
b) Single Use. The MiniModule can be powered
independently with the R PS 3001 option and
used in any location where this functionality is
required.
Caution. Care needs to be taken
when using the module in this way, as
it is not physically secured. Keep the
module away from the floor to avoid
the risk of someone stepping or
tripping on the unit, and locate the
unit away from excessive sources of
heat and any sources or moisture.
If using more than one MiniModule in any
installation, the R FR 3005/3010 Rack frame
combination is highly recommended.

Reference Manual D AD 3260 Version1.1
Page 12
Multiple Units
Most applications will require more than one
MiniModule, which can include any of the
available Series 3000 MiniModule product range.
There are two options for mounting multiple units.
a) Using the R FR 3005 Rack Frame option. This
allows up to any 10 of the MiniModules to be
secured onto a rack frame assembly for 19 inch
rack mounting. The R PS 3001 power brick
option or the R FR 3010 option is required to
power each module. Please refer to the R FR
3005 Reference Manual for more details.
b) Using the R FR 3010 Rack frame extension
option. Can be combined with the R FR 3005
Rack frame option. Each module plugs into a
connection bus, which provides common
power for all modules. (no R PS external power
supplies are needed). Remote control and
status monitoring of all modules is possible with
the addition of the R CT 5020 rack controller
and R CT 5030 master controller options. Please
refer to the respective reference manuals for
these options for details of mechanical
installation.
The very small size and density of the MiniModules
combined with the available rack frame options
allows the addition of a complex and custom signal
distribution system without taking any additional
front rack space. The rack frames are designed for
installation in the back of 19-inch racks where there
is normally plenty of available space. Ideal for
mobile truck installations and facility expansions
where space is at a premium.

Electrical Installation.
Stand Alone Operation
The MiniModule requires the R PS 3001 power brick
option for stand-alone operation. Three versions are
available: R PS 3001 E for European markets, R PS
3001 U for the US markets or the desk power supply
R PS 3001-3. Please ensure you have the correct
power option for your region. The connection to
the module is made with a small 5-pin connector,
which has a twist bayonet securing system. Please
make sure the connection is solid and locked in
place. A strain relief is included within the module
to prevent excessive strain on the connection.
Signal connections should be made with care,
please ensure connections are correct and
compatible equipment is feeding / receiving the
signals from the module or damage can result.
Caution. Only use the optional Lynx R PS 1
power modules. Ensure the 5-pin power
connector is locked securely in place.
Caution. Care needs to be taken when
using the module in this way, if it is not
physically secured. Keep the module
away from the floor to avoid the risk of
someone stepping or tripping on the unit,
and locate the unit away from excessive
sources of heat and any sources or
moisture.

Multiple Units
When installing multiple MiniModule units it is
recommended you use the R FR 3005 Rack Frame 1
and / or R FR 3010 Rack Frame 2 options. Please
refer to the documentation supplied with these
options for details on electrical installation.
