RAVE 81

This model features eight AES3 input channels, a total of 16 audio channels. The AES3 inputs are labeled 1 through

8 on the rear of the unit.

RAVE 80

This model features eight AES3 output channels, a total of 16 audio output channels. The AES3 outputs are labeled

1 through 8 on the rear of the unit.

AC POWER

A RAVE unit will operate on line voltages from 90 to 264 VAC, 47 to 63Hz. No user selection of line voltage or

frequency is required; the internal power supply automatically switches accordingly. The detachable AC power

cord connects to the chassis at the IEC connector.

To replace a fuse, first detach the AC power cord from

the RAVE unit.

Then use a flat-blade screwdriver to pry the fuseholder

out, as shown at left.

The fuses are held in the round openings in the end of the

fuseholder as shown at right. Replace one or both fuses with the

same type: 20 × 5 mm, 2 amp, 250V.

SYNC OUTPUT

At this BNC jack the RAVE unit produces a 5 Vp-p sample rate clock whenever the unit is connected to the network

and is operating properly. This clock signal can be used to synchronize external digital audio equipment, and it

coincides with the clock signal broadcast over the network. No clock signal is produced if the unit is unable to

send or receive any audio channels, or if a fault occurs with the unit. The latter occurrence will be indicated by

the Fault LED.

The IEC connector contains a line filter to minimize susceptibility to RF and EMI from the AC line, and to reduce

digital noise that may otherwise get out of the RAVE unit and onto the AC system. The fuse holder is an integral

part of the IEC connector, too. It contains two fuses.

Use only a power source with a protective earth ground.
Utiliser une source d'alimentation électrique avec mise à la terre.

A RAVE unit has no power switch; the AC disconnect device is the detachable power cord.
Les unités RAVE n'ont pas d'interrupteur marche/arrêt; le cordon d'alimentation détachable sert à
débrancher l'unité de la source de courant.

Replace only with the same type fuse.
Remplacer avec un fusible de même type.
