UAD System Manual - 104 - Chapter 11: UAD-2 Satellite

• Although “Hot Plugging” on page 102 is supported, disconnecting UAD-2

Satellite when UAD plug-ins are running could cause unpredictable behav-

ior. Quit all UAD hosts and the UAD Meter & Control Panel before discon-

necting or powering down UAD-2 Satellite.

Important: Do not disconnect UAD-2 Satellite while UAD plug-ins are

loaded.

• Once the host software is quit, you may connect or disconnect the unit even

if the host computer and/or UAD-2 Satellite is powered on (see “Hot Plug-

ging” on page 102).

• Connect all FireWire devices to the bus before activating UAD plug-ins. See

“Adding a device to the active bus” on page 102 for details.

• As of UAD v5.9.0 (and higher), two UAD-2 Satellites can be used together

in a single system. See Chapter 5, “Using Multiple UAD Devices” for addi-

tional information.

• Select a suitable location for the unit. See “Satellite Install Location” on

page 98. UAD-2 Satellite units may be safely stacked.

• Do not bend sharp angles into or otherwise kink the FireWire cable. The ca-

ble can be damaged by improper handling.

• UAD-2 Satellite contains no user serviceable parts. Opening the unit will

void the warranty.

Power Supply • UAD-2 Satellite requires external DC power. It ships with an external power

supply adapter that converts AC power to 12VDC @ 1.25A. AC input into

the adapter can be 100V–240V at 50–60 Hz; several AC plug adapters

are provided for international use.

• The power supply DC output connector is ring=ground/negative and

tip=hot/positive. UAD-2 Satellite is diode-protected; the unit will not be

damaged if the wrong DC polarity (or AC input) is connected.

• The Quad Satellite draws a maximum of 7 watts; the Duo draws 4 watts.

• The acceptable range of power input for UAD-2 Satellite is 9VDC – 15VDC

@ 1A (9 Watts minimum).

Note: UAD-2 Satellite requires the external power supply. It cannot be

devices.
