Installation / EMC
BGeneral Installation Instructions
Please consider besides these general instructions also any product-specific
instructions in the “Installation” chapter of this manual.
B1 Unpacking
Check the equipment for any transport damage. If the unit is mechanically
damaged, if liquids have been spilled or if objects have fallen into the unit,
it must not be connected to the AC power outlet, or it must be immediately
disconnected by unplugging the power cable. Repair must only be performed
by trained personnel in accordance with the applicable regulations.
B2 Installation Site
Install the unit in a place where the following conditions are met:
•The temperature and the relative humidity of the environment must be
within the specified limits during operation of the unit. Relevant values
are the ones at the air inlets of the unit (refer to Appendix1).
•Condensation must be avoided. If the unit is installed in a location with
large variation of ambient temperature (e.g. in an OB-van), appropriate
precautions must be taken before and after operation (refer to Appendix
1).
•Unobstructed air flow is essential for proper operation. Air vents of the
unit are a functional part of the design and must not be blocked in any
way during operation (e.g. by objects placed upon them, placement of the
unit on a soft surface, or installation of the unit within a rack or piece of
furniture).
•The unit must not be heated up by external sources of heat radiation (sun-
light, spotlights).
B3 Earthing and Power Supply
Earthing of units with mains supply (class I equipment) is performed via
the protective earth (PE) conductor integrated in the mains cable. Units with
battery operation (< 60 V, class III equipment) must be earthed separately.
Earthingthe unit isoneof the measuresforprotectionagainstelectricalshock
hazard(dangerousbodycurrents).Hazardousvoltagemaynotonlybecaused
by a defective power supply insulation, but may also be introduced by the
connected audio or control cables.
If the unit is installed with one or several external connections, its earthing
must be provided during operation as well as while the unit is not operated.
If the earthing connection can be interrupted, for example, by unplugging
the mains plug of an external power supply unit, an additional, permanent
earthing connection must be installed using the provided earth terminal.
Avoid ground loops (hum loops) by keeping the loop surface as small as
possible (by consequently guiding the earth conductors in a narrow, parallel
way), and reduce the noise current flowing through the loop by inserting an
additional impedance (common-mode choke).

V
Installation
Class I Equipment (Mains Operation)
Should the equipment be delivered without a matching mains cable, the latter
has to be prepared by a trained person using the attached female plug (IEC
320 / C13 or IEC 320 / C19) with respect to the applicable regulations in
your country.
Before connecting the equipment to theAC power outlet, check that the local
line voltage matches the equipment rating (voltage, frequency) within the
admissible tolerance. The equipment fuses must be rated in accordance with
the specifications on the equipment.
Equipment supplied with a 3-pole appliance inlet (protection conforming to
class I equipment) must be connected to a 3-pole AC power outlet in such a
way that the equipment cabinet is connected to the protective earth.
For information on mains cable strain relief, please refer to Appendix 2.

Class III Equipment (Battery Operation up to 60 VDC)
Equipment of this protection class must be earthed using the provided earth
terminal if one or more external signals are connected to the unit (see expla-
nation at the beginning of this paragraph).
B4 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
The unit conforms to the protection requirements relevant to electromagnetic
phenomena that are listed in guidelines 89/336/EC and FCC, part 15.
•The electromagnetic interference generated by the unit is limited in such
a way that other equipment and systems can be operatednormally.
•The unit is adequately protected against electromagnetic interference so
that it can operate properly.
The unit has been tested and conforms to the EMC standards of the speci-
fied electromagnetic environment, as listed in the following declaration. The
limits of these standards ensure protection of the environment and cor-
responding noise immunity of the equipment with appropriate probability.
However, a professional installation and integration within the system are
imperative prerequisites for operation without EMC problems.
For this purpose, the following measures must be followed:
•Install the equipment in accordance with the operating instructions. Use
the supplied accessories.
•In the systemand in the vicinity where the equipment is installed,use only
components (systems, equipment) that also fulfill the EMC standards for
the given environment.

VI
ESD / Repair
•Use a system grounding concept that satisfies the safety requirements
(class I equipment must be connected with a protective ground conduc-
tor) and that also takes into consideration the EMC requirements. When
deciding between radial, surface, or combined grounding, the advantages
and disadvantages should be carefully evaluated in each case.
•Use shielded cables where shielding is specified. The connection of the
shield to the corresponding connector terminal or housing should have a
large surface and be corrosion-proof. Please note that a cable shield con-
nected only single-ended can act as a transmitting or receiving antenna
within the corresponding frequencyrange.
•Avoid ground loops or reduce their adverse effects by keeping the loop
surface as small as possible, and reduce the noise current flowing through
theloopbyinsertinganadditionalimpedance(e.g.common-modechoke).
•Reduce electrostaticdischarge (ESD) of persons by installingan appropri-
atefloorcovering(e.g.acarpetwithpermanentelectrostaticfilaments)and
by keeping the relative humidity above 30%. Further measures (e.g.con-
ducting floor) are usually unnecessary and only effective if usedtogether
with corresponding personal equipment.
•When using equipment withtouch-sensitive operator controls, please take
carethat the surroundingbuildingstructureallows for sufficientcapacitive
coupling of the operator. This coupling can be improved by an additional,
conducting surface in the operator’s area, connected to the equipment
housing(e.g. metalfoil underneath thefloor covering, carpetwithconduc-
tive backing).
CMaintenance
All air vents and openings for operating elements (faders, rotary knobs) must
be checked on a regular basis, and cleaned in case of dust accumulation. For
cleaning, a soft paint-brush or a vacuum cleaner isrecommended.
Cleaning the surfaces of the unit is performed with a soft, dry cloth or a soft
brush.
Persistent contaminationcan betreatedwitha cloththatis slightlyhumidified
with a mild cleaning solution, such as dishwashingdetergent.
For cleaning display windows, commercially available computer/TVscreen
cleaners are suited. Use only a slightly damp (never wet)cloth.
Never use any solvents for cleaning the exterior of the unit! Liquids must
never be sprayed or poured on directly!
For equipment-specific maintenance information please refer to the corre-
sponding chapter in the operating and service manuals.
DElectrostatic Discharge during Maintenance and Repair
Caution: Observe the precautions for handling devices sensitive to electrostatic
discharge!
Many semiconductor components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge
(ESD). The lifespan of assemblies containing such components can be dras-
tically reduced by improper handling during maintenance and repair. Please
observe the following rules when handling ESD sensitivecomponents:
•ESD sensitive components should only be stored and transported in the
packing material specifically provided for thispurpose.

VII
EMC / Maintenance / ESD
•When performing a repair by replacing complete assemblies, the removed
assembly must be sent back to the supplier in the same packing material
in which the replacement assembly was shipped. If this should not be the
case, any claim for a possible refund will be null andvoid.
•Unpacked ESD sensitive components should only be handled in ESD
protected areas (EPA, e.g. area for field service, repair or service bench)
and only be touched by persons wearing a wristlet connected to the
ground potential of the repair or service bench by a series resistor. The
equipment to be repaired or serviced as well as all tools and electrically
semi-conducting work, storage, and floor mats should also be connected
to this ground potential.
• TheterminalsofESDsensitivecomponentsmustnotcome inuncontrolled
contact with electrostatically chargeable or metallic surfaces (voltage
puncture, discharge shock hazard).
•To prevent the components from undefined transient stress and possible
damage due to inadmissible voltages or compensation currents,electrical
connections should only be established or separated when the equipment
is switched off and after any capacitor charges havedecayed.
ERepair
By removing housing parts or shields, energized parts may be exposed. For
this reason the following precautions must be observed:
•Maintenance may only be performed by trained personnel in accordance
with the applicable regulations.
•The equipment must be switched off and disconnected from theAC power
outlet before any housing parts are removed.
•Even if the equipment is disconnected from the power outlet, parts with
hazardouscharges(e.g. capacitors,picturetubes)mustnotbetoucheduntil
they have been properly discharged. Do not touch hot components (power
semiconductors, heat sinks, etc.) before they have cooledoff.
•If maintenance is performed on a unit that is opened while being switched
on, no un-insulated circuit components and metallic semiconductor hous-
ings must be touched, neither with bare hands nor with un-insulated tools.
Certain components pose additional hazards:
•Explosion hazard fromlithium batteries,electrolyticcapacitors andpower
semiconductors (Observe the component’s polarity. Do not short battery
terminals. Replace batteries only by the same type).
•Implosion hazard from evacuated displayunits.
•Radiation hazard from laser units (non-ionizing), picture tubes (ionizing).
•Caustic effect of display units (LCD) and components containing liquid
electrolyte.
Such components should only be handled by trainedpersonnel who are prop-
erly protected (e.g. protection glasses, gloves).

Appendix
Appendix 1: Air Temperature and Humidity
General
Normal operation of the unit or systemis warranted under the ambient condi-
tions defined by EN 60721-3-3, set IE32, value 3K3.
This standard consists of an extensive catalogue of parameters, the most
important of which are: ambient temperature +5...+40 °C, relative humidity
5...85%(i.e.,noformationofcondensationorice); absolutehumidity1...25 g/
m³; rate of temperature change < 0.5 °C/min. These parameters are dealt with
in the following paragraphs.
Under these conditions the unit or system starts and works without any prob-
lem. Beyond these specifications, possible problems are described below.
Ambient Temperature
Units and systems by Studer are generally designed for an ambient tempera-
ture range (i.e. temperature of the incoming air) of +5 °C to +40 °C. When
rack mounting the units, the intended air flow and herewith adequate cooling
must be provided. The following facts must be considered:
•The admissible ambient temperature range for operation of the semicon-
ductor components is 0 °C to +70 °C (commercial temperature range for
operation).
•The air flow through the installation must provide that the outgoing airis
always cooler than 70 °C.
•Average heat increase of the cooling air shall be about 20 K, allowing for
an additional maximum 10 K increase at the hot components.
•In order to dissipate 1 kW with this admissible average heat increase, an
air flow of 2.65 m³/min is required.
Example: ArackdissipatingP = 800 Wrequiresanair flow of 0.8 * 2.65 m³/min which
corresponds to 2.12 m³/min.
•If the cooling function of the installation must be monitored (e.g. for fan
failure or illuminationwithspot lamps), the outgoing air temperature must
be measured directly above the modules at several places within the rack.
The trigger temperature of the sensors should be 65 °C to 70°C.
Frost and Dew
The unsealed system parts (connector areas and semiconductor pins) allow
for a minute formation of ice or frost. However, formation of dew visible to
the naked eye will already lead to malfunctions. In practice, reliable opera-
tion can be expected in a temperature range above –15 °C, if the following
general rule is considered for putting the cold system into operation:
If the air within the system is cooled down, the relative humidity rises. If it
reaches100%, condensation will arise,usuallyintheboundarylayer between
the air and a cooler surface, together with formation of ice or dew at sensi-
tive areas of the system (contacts, IC pins, etc.). Once internalcondensation
occurs,trouble-free operationcannot be guaranteed,independentof tempera-
ture.
Before putting into operation, the system must be checked for internal for-
mation of condensation or ice. Only with a minute formation of ice, direct

Appendix
XI
evaporation (sublimation) may be expected; otherwise the system must be
heated and dried while switched off.
A system without visible internal formation of ice or condensation should be
heated up with its own heat dissipation, as homogeneously (and subsequently
as slow) as possible; the ambient temperature should then always be lower
than the one of the outgoing air.
If it is absolutely necessary to operate the cold system immediately within
warm ambient air, this air must be dehydrated. In such a case, the absolute
humidity must be so low that the relative humidity, related to the coldest
system surface, always remains below 100%.
Ensure that the enclosed air is as dry as possible when powering off (i.e. before
switching off in winter, aerate the room with cold, dry air, and remove humid
objects such as clothes from the room).
These relationships are visible from the following climatogram. For a con-
trolled procedure, thermometer and hygrometer as well as a thermometer
within the system will be required.
Example 1: An OB-van having an internal temperature of +20 °C and a relative humidity
of 40% is switched off in the evening. If the temperature falls below +5 °C,
the relative humidity will rise to 100% (7 g/m³); dew or ice will be forming.
Example 2: An OB-van is heated up in the morning with air of +20 °C and a relative
humidity of 40%. On all parts being cooler than +5 °C, dew or ice will be
forming.

1GENERAL
1.1 Utilization for the Purpose Intended
The Studer Compact Infinity Core system is intended for professional use.
It is presumed that the unit is operated only by trained personnel. Servicing
is reserved to skilled technicians.
The electrical connections may be connected only to the voltages and signals
designated in this manual.
1.2 First Steps
1.2.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Your new system is shipped in a special packing which protects the units
against mechanical shock during transit. Care should be exercised when
unpacking so that the surfaces do not get marred.
Check the condition of the equipment for signs of shipping damage. Ifthere
shouldbeanycomplaintsyoushouldimmediatelynotifytheforwardingagent
and your nearest Studerdistributor.
Pleaseretaintheoriginal packingmaterialbecauseitoffersthebest protection
in case your equipment ever needs to be transported.
1.2.2 Installation
Primary Voltage The power supplyunitsare auto-ranging; theycan beused for mains voltages
in a range of 90 to 264 VAC, 47 to 63 Hz.
Power Connection The attached female IEC 320/C13 mains cable sockets have to be connected
to appropriate mains cables by a trained technician, respecting your local
regulations.Refertothe‘Installation, Operation, andWasteDisposal’chapter
at the beginning of this document.
Earthing This equipment must be earthed, due to the mains input filternetwork being
connected to the mains earth.
Some consideration must be given to the earthing arrangement of the system,
at the center of which is the frame. The frame is earthed to the mains earth
via the power supply.
Thermal Considerations The unit must not be used in conditions of excessive heat or cold, near any
source of moisture,in excessivelyhumid environments, or inpositions where
it is likelyto be subjectedtovibration or dust.The ambient temperature range
for normal operation of the unit is +5...+40° C.
Principal Rule The cooler the better – a temperature increase of only 10° C (18° F) reduces
component lifetime by 50%!
