1. Description
The UCC1 USB-CAN CONVERTER is a bi-directional USB-to-CAN interface converter and is therefore the
perfect solution for interconnecting Electro-Voice / Dynacord appliances with serial CAN-busses and PC or
Notebook computers.
The UCC1 is a standalone unit with interface drivers for CAN and USB, audio monitoring output, USB and
CAN controllers as well as microphone controllers for converting commands and data between PC and
CAN-bus-units. The isolated CAN-bus interface reduces ground-loop interference noise to an absolute
minimum. The UCC1 receives its operational power via USB from the connected PC, so that no external
power supply unit is needed.
This owner’s manual illustrates installation and initial operation of the UCC1 when used together with
Electro-Voice P-Series Remote Amplifiers. Please, carefully read and mind all instructions and precautions.
Keep this owner’s manual at a save place for further reference.
