GeneralInstallationInstructions

Pleaseconsiderbesidesthesegeneralinstructionsalsoanyproduct‐specificinstructionsinthe“Installation”chapterofthismanual.

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.

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.

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.

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(sunlight,spotlights).

AmbientTemperature

UnitsandsystemsbyLightViperaregenerallydesignedforanambienttemperaturerange(i.e.temperatureoftheincomingair)of+5...+40

°C.Whenrackmountingtheunits,thefollowingfactsmustbeconsidered:

Theadmissibleambienttemperaturerangeforoperationofthesemiconductorcomponentsis0°Cto+70°C

(commercialtemperaturerangeforoperation).

Theairflowthroughtheinstallationmustprovidethattheoutgoingairis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:ArackdissipatingP=800Wrequiresanair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illuminationwithspotlamps),

theoutgoingairtemperaturemustbemeasureddirectlyabovethemodulesatseveralplaceswithin

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.Earthingtheunitisoneofthemeasuresforprotection

againstelectricalshockhazard(dangerousbodycurrents).Hazardousvoltagemaynotonlybecausedbydefectivepowersupplyinsulation,

butmayalsobeintroducedbytheconnectedaudioorcontrolcables.

Thisequipmentmayrequiretheuseofadifferentlinecord,attachmentplug,orboth,dependingontheavailablepowersourceat

installation.Iftheattachmentplugneedstobechanged,referservicingtoqualifiedservicepersonnel

IfyourunitmainssupplyisprovidedviaaNeutrikPowerCon™connectorthefollowingprecautionsmustbefollowed:

ThePowerConmustbeinstalledandfullyengagedbeforeACpowerisappliedtotheunit.

TheunitmustbedisconnectedfromthemainssupplybeforedisengagingthePowerConconnector.

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(IEC320/C13orIEC320/C19)withrespecttotheapplicableregulationsinyourcountry.

BeforeconnectingtheequipmenttotheAC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sothattheequipmentcabinetisconnectedtotheprotectiveearth.

WARNING

Ifthegroundisdefeated,certainfaultconditionsintheunitorinthesystemtowhichitisconnectedcan

resultinfulllinevoltagebetweenchassisandearthground.Severeinjuryordeathcanthenresultifthe

chassisandearthgroundaretouchedsimultaneously.

Introduction

CongratulationsonyourpurchaseofaLightViper1808/0808fiber–opticaudiosnake;alightweight,flexiblebreakthroughforprofessional

soundproduction.

LightViperproductsaredesigned,engineeredandmanufacturedbyFiberPlexInc.,expertsinfiberopticswithdecadesofexperience.Our

workinaudioanddatacommunicationsproductsisknowninUSgovernmentapplicationsworldwide.LightViperproductscombineourfiber

optictechnologywiththehigheststandardsinaudioengineering.

TheVIM‐1808/0808

YouhavepurchasedtheLightViper1808/0808system,an8x8linelevelanalog/AESdigitalinputfiber‐optictransportsystem(snake).

Insteadoftraditionalheavymulti‐conductorcoppercable,LightViperfiberopticsystemsutilizelightweight,flexible,militarytacticalgrade

fiber‐opticcableorduplexPVCandplenumratedfiberforinstallationuse.

TheFiberAdvantage

Fiberopticsoffermanyadvantagesovercopper:

Transmitslightratherthanelectrons

Transmissionovergreaterdistances(morethan2Km[1.25mile])

Completeelectricalisolation

ImmunitytoRFIandEMI

Eliminatesgroundloopproblems

Canberoutedoverhead,throughwalls,orunderground

Avoidsfoottrafficwhilemaintainingaesthetics

FunctionalConsiderations

TheLightViper1808/0808isanactivedevice.Becauseofthis,therearesomeaspectsofthisnewtechnologythatrequiresomeslightly

differentthinking:

TheLightViper1808/0808systemrequiresACPoweratboththeStage(VIM‐0808)andtheconsole(VIM‐1808)

The1808/0808systemcontains(8)LineLevelAnaloginputsOR(8)AESdigitalinputs,and(8)analogAND(8)AES

digitaloutputs.Therearenomicrophonepreamplifiersaswiththe1832system

AllinputsexitthesnakeatLineLevel

InputandOutputflexibilitymayeliminatetheneedforsomeofyouroutboardgear

TheLightViperVIM‐1808/0808isanactivedevice,thereforedonotattempttoconnectintercomintothereturns

ThereturnsintheVIM‐1808/0808cannotbe“turnedaround”toprovide(8)sendsonewayaswithatraditional

coppersnake,astheelectronicsforthereturnsarecontainedintheVIM‐1808.

StandardComponents

Initsstandardconfiguration,theLightViper1808/0808ismadeupofthefollowingprimarycomponents.

VIM‐1808

TheVIM‐1808containsthesystemclock.Itcanbeplacedateitherend(headortail)ofthesystem.Ifusinganexternalclock

however,theVIM‐1808needstobeconnectedtothisclock.TheVIM‐1808andVIM‐0808areidenticalexceptthattheVIM‐

1808containsthesystemclockandan“external”clockinputconnector.

VIM‐0808

TheVIM‐0808canbeplacedateitherend(headortail)ofthesystem.

FiberCable(TFC‐0000‐04)

Forliveproduction,TFC‐0000‐04tacticalmilitarygradefiberwithTAC‐4ConnectorsisrequiredbetweentheVIM‐1808and

VIM‐0808.NeutrikOpticalCon®tacticalfiber(TFC‐0000‐02‐OC)isalsoavailableforsimilarapplications.Forinstallationswhere

thefiberwillbepulledthroughconduit,eitherVFC‐0000‐D(PVCfiber)orVFC‐0000‐DP(Plenumratedfiber)withSTconnector

terminationsisrecommended.Thereisalsoanoptionfora“PullingEye”whichcanbespecifiedbyaddingan“E”tothepart

numbersabove(VFC‐0000‐DE;VFC‐0000‐DPE).Thisoptionincludesastrainreliefandpullingeyeononeendofthefiberoptic

cable.

GettingStarted

SettingupandusingyourLightViper1808/0808systemisaquickandsimpleprocess.Justfollowthesesteps:

1. PlacetheVIM‐1808inaracknearyoursignalsource,andplacetheVIM‐0808inaracknearyoursignaldestinationandconnectAC

power

2. ConnectandruntheFiberbetweenthetwounits,andcheckthattheSynclightstatusis“green”onbothunits

3. Connectthesends&returns(inputs&outputs)onbothunits.

4. Connecttheanalogfanoutordigitalcablestobothunits.

5. Inputsignalsandcheckforaudioinbothdirections.



NOTE:thesignaloutputoftheVIM‐1808&VIM‐0808ontheanalogoutputsislinelevel.Whenconnecting

thissystemintoaconsoleorotherdevice,uselinelevelinputsorengageinputpadstoachieveoptimal

signal‐to‐noiseratio.
