 Dilswitch 2 & 3. 

 
With these dilswitches the behaviour of the automatic control for the minimum hybrid crosstalk is 
set. Dependant of the application the best automatic control method can be selected.

After switching the hybrid on, the automatic adjustment is active for approx. 2 
seconds. After that, the adjustment can be repeated by pressing the UPDATE 
switch..

After switching the hybrid on, the automatic adjustment is continously active. 
By pressing the UPDATE switch this adjustment process can be toggled OFF 
or ON.

After switching the hybrid on, the adjustment parameters used are those which 
are obtained from a previous adjustment procedure and stored in the memory. 
By pressing the UPDATE switch, the unit tries to find a new optimum setting; 
at releasing the UPDATE switch these new parameters are stored in the 
memory. 

 

Making the correct setting.

 

 
The most user friendly dilswitch setting is the last one mentioned (DILSW2 = 
On & DILSW3 = On), because the digital echo-canceller adjustment doesn't have to be realigned 
after the unit is switched on. This has the advantage that the hybrid can be used to go on air 
direct, without the need for a producer or operator to have a pre-conversation in which this 
adjustment for minimum hybrid crosstalk has to be performed. This method can only be used if 
the condition of the lines from the hybrid in the studio to the first (in house) telephone exchange 
are the same. This means this can be used with any stationary hybrid in a studio or studio 
complex in which above mentioned conditions are the same because the lines used are the same.  
If for some reason this method does not give satisfactory results, the dilswitch settings according 
the first method then can be used (DILSW2 = Off & DILSW3 = Off).  
The hybrid will after it has been switched on during a short time (approx. 20 seconds) adjust itself. In 
some cases this adjustment can be found not good enough. The auto-adjustment then can be 
activated  again  by  pressing  the  UPDATE  switch  for  20  seconds.  The  hybrid  crosstalk  (cancellation)  will 
then be adjusted until a minimum is reached.  

Dilswitch 4.

 

 
With this dilswitch the behaviour of the EXTERNAL-ON input can be set. In the ON-position the 
hybrid can be switched ON remotely by means of a 

continuous

 closing (loop) contact. In the 

OFF-position the hybrid can be toggled On and OFF by a remote 

pulse

 contact. This EXTERNAL- 

ON input can be found on the 25 pin D-type connector marked EXT_ON.
