Owner’s Manual

S-OPT is a REAC optical converter that converts RSS Digital Snake System REAC

signals to and from optical signals for long-distance digital audio transmission. By

using this REAC optical converter and optical cables (sold separately), the REAC

transmission distance can be extended to a maximum of 2 kilometers.

S-OPT has the following properties:

• The S-OPT optical connectors are Neutrik OpticalCon connectors and support

Mobile Fiber Cable from Neutrik. This optical interface provides for transmitting

sound over long distances via optical cables while still taking advantage of the

RSS Digital Snake System’s mobility.

• Because the OpticalCon connector also provides a Dual LC optical connector

(standard LC-Duplex connector, IEC 61754-20), less expensive optical cables

can be used for permanent installations of the RSS Digital Snake System.

• Two S-OPT units can be connected using the proprietary POWER LINK cable

(ARC-15, sold separately) so that redundant power can be supplied from one

unit to the other. If power to a single unit is interrupted due to some situation

or is damaged, both units will still continue to operate.

power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions

and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

308

• This device has no power switch. Disconnect the plug

from the power outlet whenever shutdown of power is

required. The power cord’s plug should be connected to

the closest available power outlet to the device; this

should be within immediate reach during use.

352a

• This device may interfere with radio and television

reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such

receivers.

352b

• Noise may be produced if wireless communications

devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of

this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initi-

ating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience

such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices

so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch

them off.

355b

• When moved from one location to another where the

temperature and/or humidity is very different, water

droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit.

Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use

the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit,

you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the

POWER LINK Cable Clamp

Clamp and fix the proprietary POWER LINK cable (ARC-15, sold separately). (p. 9)

POWER LINK Connector

Connect two S-OPT units using the proprietary POWER LINK cable (ARC-15, sold separately). By sharing the

power supply, the power supply can be backed up.

Grounding Terminal

If necessary, use this terminal to connect the S-OPT chassis to an external grounding source.

Rear Panel

Never attempt to use the following sources for an external ground connection:

• Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution).

• Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion).

• Telephone line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in the event of lightning).

Turning the Power On and Off

This device has no power switch.

Power is switched on by plugging the power cord into a power outlet; remove the plug from the outlet to switch

power off. When powering up, first connect any peripheral devices, then plug in the power to the S-OPT before

turning on the power to the connected devices.

There are two ways to input a power supply to this device: “AC IN” and “POWER LINK.”By connecting two S-

OPT units using a proprietary POWER LINK cable (ARC-15, sold separately), power can be supplied to both S-OPT

units from a single unit. By doing so, if the power supplied to the AC IN of one unit is interrupted, both S-OPT

units can continued to be used. In addition to circuit redundancy using the S-4000 series REAC MAIN and

BACKUP, the power supply can also be backed up.

Backing up the power supply (when connecting 2 S-OPT units with POWER LINK)

• When there is no external backup power supply, such as a UPS

Connect each “AC IN” of two S-OPT units to a normal outlet.

(Although both S-OPT units will operate if one of the two S-OPT units has power supplied to its “AC IN,” it is

recommended that power be connected and supplied to AC IN of both units to improve system reliability.)

• When there is an external backup power supply separate from the normal power supply, such as UPS

Connect “AC IN” of one S-OPT unit to the normal outlet, and connect the “AC IN” of the other S-OPT unit

to the external backup power supply.

To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the

volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.

Once the connections have been completed, turn on power to your various devices in the order

specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage

to speakers and other devices.

Be sure to use the included power cord when connecting to the power supply.

To completely shut off the power to the unit, disconnect the power cords from the “AC IN”

sockets of the both units.

UPS:

Uninterruptible Power Supply

Turning the Power On and Off
