| About this manual DICENTIS About this manual The purpose of this manual is to provide information required for installing the DICENTIS Conference System. This installation manual is available as a digital document in the Adobe portable document format (PDF).
It is advisable to participate in the DICENTIS Conference System training before you install, configure, prepare, and operate a DICENTIS Conference System. The DICENTIS Conference System is an IP based conference system which runs on an OMNEO compatible Ethernet network. It is used for distributing and processing audio, video and data signals.
CAT‑5e Ethernet cable (minimum requirement). Powering switch (DCNM-PS2): – Is used to increase the number of DICENTIS devices connected to the system. Audio processor and powering switch (DCNM-APS2): – Controls the system audio, routes audio from and to the system and supplies power to the DICENTIS devices.

– to extend cables, – in a floor pod as break-out box, – as an interface between DICENTIS cable and “standard” CAT-5E cable combined with a separate power cable, – to insert power locally to the participant devices, – to switch the system on by using two cable couplers and a switch.
Using a cable coupler as a break-out box The DICENTIS Cable coupler can be used in a floor pod as a break-out box, for example, if you want to connect temporary devices like a rostrum microphone. The cable coupler can be fixated using the screw holes (2.5 mm) or via a tie wrap through the recessed area.
Using a cable coupler as an interface between different types of cable The cable coupler can be used as an interface between DICENTIS cable and “standard” CAT-5E cable, optionally combined with a separate power cable. This can be used, for example, when standard CAT-5E cabling coming from the technical room has to be connected with DICENTIS cable in the conference room.
Risk of electric shock. Exposed power cables are a potential hazard. Make sure all power cables are securely fastened by fixing them with a tie wrap on the inside of the box (see drawing ‘Creating a tension relief’). Bosch Security Systems B.V. 2021.01 | V2.2 | Hardware Installation Manual...
– the ripple should be less than 200 mV pk-pk – maximum output current should not exceed 3.0 A (or limited to 3.0 A, because DICENTIS cables and devices have a maximum rating for this current) – Advice – It is strongly advised that the power supply has its own short circuit protection with a short circuit output current ranging from 4.3 to 5.0 A.
