Structuring the conference system
The ADN conference system is suitab
le for conferences with up to 400 conference
units (with a maximum of 150 wireless conference units). For safe operation of the
conference system, make sure that all wired conference units are supplied with a
voltage of at least 35 V! The voltage supplied depends on the number of connected
conference units and on the cable lengths. The standard cable length between the
central unit or power supply and the first conference unit is 50 m max. and the
stand
ard cable length between the individual conference units is 2 to 5 m.
If these cable lengths are observed, safe op
eration of conference systems with the
following number of conference units is ensured:
small conference systems comprising only an ADN CU1 central unit
30-40 conference units connected in simple strings
large conference systems comprising an ADN CU1 central unit and a max. of
15 ADN PS power supplies
max. 400 conference units connected in simple strings
or in ring topology
per ADN PS power supply
60-70 conference units connected in simple strings
30-40 conference units connected in ring topology
If cable lengths are shorter, it might be that more conference units can be used.
ADN D1 delegate units and ADN C1 chairperson units can be combined in an arbi-
trary order. The number of c
hairperson units, however, is limited to 10 max. per
conference system. All wired components of the conference system are intercon-
nected using SDC CBL RJ-45 system cables.
Calculating the voltage supply of the conference units
The “ADN Cable Calculator” software allows you to calculate the voltage supply of
the wired conference units on the individual sections of a cable string or cable ring
and to plan the structure of the conference system. The software is included on the
DVD-ROM (supplied with the ADN CU1) or is available fro
m your Sennheiser part-
ner or from the “Downloads” area on the product page at www.sennheiser.com.
For further information on the installation and use of the “ADN Cable Calculator”
sof
tware, refer to the help section of the “ADN Cable Calculator” software and to
the ADN system manual.
A wired ADN conference system can be expanded by adding wireless
components. For detailed information, refer to the ADN system manual.
