How It Should Be Used
The DAB-801 must be used as part of a Q-Sys
TM
system. As such the DAB-801 cannot be used with any other control system. Furthermore, the
DAB-801 interfaces to QSC DataPort equipped amplifi ers only.
Every amplifi er connected to the DAB-801 must be the same model; the DAB-801 does not support mixing amplifi er
models.
Rack Mounting
• The DAB-801 mounts in the rear of a rack. Use four screws and washers to mount the DAB-801 to the rear rack rails. The DAB-801 can be mounted
in the front of a rack, however QSC does not recommend this as it complicates the routing of wire and cable.
When Mounting in a Rack Please Note:
1. Elevated Operating Ambient
–
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment
may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the
maximum ambient temperature (Tma) shown under Specifi cations.
2. Reduced Air Flow
–
Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air fl ow required for safe operation of the equip-
ment is not compromised.
3. Mechanical Loading
–
Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven
mechanical loading.
4. Circuit Overloading
–
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of
the circuits might have on over current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used
when addressing this concern.
5. Reliable Earthing
–
Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connec-
tions other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
AC Mains
Connect AC power to the IEC socket on the front of the panel by locating the IEC
connector-end of the AC power cord and inserting it fully into the IEC socket on the panel.
Swing the metal retention clip up and over the end of the IEC cable to ensure that the
cable is not inadvertently disconnected.
If the cord supplied by QSC becomes lost or damaged, a replacement 18
gauge IEC power cord may be used.
The DAB-801 does not have a power switch to ensure high reliability.
Caution: Lethal voltages are present in an AC outlet.
AC Mains Disconnection
To remove the AC mains cord, unlatch the metal retention clip and grasp the IEC connector’s plastic body. Pull straight out, removing the connector
from the socket.
