Safety instructions
This instruction manual contains important safety information.
Read this instruction manual.
Keep this instruction manual in a safe place. Always include this instruction
manual when passing the system on to third parties.
Heed all warnings.
Follow all instructions.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the device
and the mains unit to rain or moisture.
Disconnect the mains connector from the wall socket to completely discon-
nect the device from the mains during lightning storms or when unused for
long periods of time.
Use only the supplied mains unit.
Ensure that the mains unit is:
– always readily operable and easily accessible,
– properly plugged into the wall socket,
– only operated within the permissible temperature range (see “Specifi-
cations” on page 11)
– not covered or exposed to direct sunlight for longer periods of time in
order to prevent heat accumulation.
Use of the MO 2000 CU central unit
The MO 2000 CU central unit has been designed for use with the MO 2000 H
optical microphone.

Rack mounting
When installing the device in a closed or multi-rack assembly, please consider
that, during operation, the ambient temperature within the rack may signi-
ficantly rise above room temperature. However, the ambient temperature
within the rack must not exceed the temperature limit specified in the speci-
fications.
When installing the device in a rack, take good care not to affect the ventila-
tion required for safe operation or provide additional ventilation.
Make sure the mechanical loading of the rack is even to avoid a hazardous
condition such as a severely unbalanced rack.
When installing the device in a closed or multi-rack assembly, please note
that intrinsically harmless leakage currents of the individual devices may
accumulate, thereby exceeding the allowable limit value. As a remedy,
ground the rack via an additional ground connection.

Operation
This device must be operated only from the type of power supply indicated
on the type plate. Observe correct polarity!
Never push objects of any kind through openings of this device as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in fire or
electric shock.
Ensure sufficient ventilation. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not install near any heat sources such as central heating radiators, electric
heaters, stoves, or other devices that produce heat (e.g. amplifiers). Keep the
device away from direct sunlight and similar sources of heat.
Only use attachments/accessories specified by Sennheiser.
Use the device in dry rooms only. Do not expose the device to dripping or
splashing and ensure that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases or
coffee cups, are placed on the device. Do not use the device near water or
liquids.
Should a spillage occur, unplug the device and have it checked by a techni-
cian.
Service
No user serviceable parts inside! Do not attempt to service devices yourself as
opening or removing covers may expose dangerous voltage or other hazards.
If devices are opened by customers in breach of this instruction, the warranty
becomes null and void.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required if a
device has been damaged in any way, such as mains cable or plug damage,
liquid has been spilled, objects have fallen inside, the device has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate properly or has been dropped.
Intended use of the device
“Intended use” means that the device should be used within the operating
conditions and limitations described in this instruction manual. “Improper
use” means using the device other than as described in this instruction
manual, or under operating conditions which differ from those described
herein.

MO 2000 Set
The MO 2000 Set optical microphone system consists of the following main
components:
y MO 2000 H optical microphone
y MO 2000 CU central unit
The MO 2000 H optical microphone consists of an opto-acoustic microphone
head which is fitted with a fixed 3 m double fiber optic cable. The fiber optic
cable is connected to the MO 2000 CU central unit. Power is supplied via an
external wide voltage range power supply unit.
The MO 2000 H is an omni-directional microphone designed for picking up air-
borne sound. The components of the MO 2000 H microphone head (outside
dimensions: 1/2 inch) are made of plastic suitable for permanent stationary
use in areas where aggressive substances (gases, salts, moisture) or radia-
tion are present. All components of the MO 2000 H microphone head are
metal-free, including the fiber optic cable feed.
The main areas of application of the optical microphone are acoustic mea-
surement and communication tasks in industrial environments and EMC-sen-
sitive areas as well as medical magnetic resonance imaging and magneto-
encephalographic measurement (MEG). Other applications are to be found in
the field of non-detectable acoustic surveillance.

Putting the system into operation
Fitting the device feet
Risk of staining of furniture surfaces!
CAUTION!
Some furniture surfaces have been treated with varnish, polish
or synthetics which might cause stains when they come into
contact with other synthetics. Despite a thorough testing of
the synthetics used by us, we cannot rule out the possibility of
staining.
̈ Do not place the central unit on delicate furniture surfaces.
You can set up the device on an even surface or mount it into a 19” rack.
Note:
Do not fit the rubber feet when rack mounting the device.
Setting up the device
To ensure that the device cannot slip on the surface on which it is placed, fix
the supplied four self-adhesive soft rubber feet to the base of the device.
̈ Ensure that the base of the device is clean and free from grease before fit-
ting the rubber feet.
̈ Fix the rubber feet to the base of the device by peeling off the backing
paper and fitting them as shown.
Rack mounting
Danger of heat damage!
CAUTION!
CAUTION!
When installing the device in a closed or multi-rack assembly,
please consider that, during operation, the temperature within
the rack may rise significantly.
̈ Make sure not to affect the ventilation required for safe
operation or provide additional ventilation.
Danger of electric shock!
When installing the device in a closed or multi-rack assembly,
please note that intrinsically harmless leakage currents of the
individual devices may accumulate, thereby exceeding the
allowable limit value.
̈ Ground the rack via an additional ground connection.
For mounting two central units into a 19” rack, you require the GA 2 rack
adapter. The GA 2 rack adapter consists of:
y 1 blanking plate Ƽ
ƾ
y 2 rack mount “ears” ƽ
y 1 jointing plate ƾ
y 2 blanking plugs ꢀ for closing off unused BNC holes
y 12 recessed head screws M 3x6
y 2 recessed head screws M 6x10

units.
̈ Secure the jointing plate ƾ to the central units using eight of the supplied
recessed head screws (M 3x6).
ƽ
̈ Hook the two rack mount “ears” ƽ to the front panels of the central units.
ƾ
̈ Secure the rack mount “ears” to the central units using two of the sup-
plied recessed head screws (M 3x6) respectively.
̈ Slide the central units into the 19” rack.
̈ Secure the rack mount “ears” to the rack.
To mount only one central unit into a rack:
̈ Hook the two rack mount “ears” ƽ to the front panel of the central unit.

Connecting the optical microphone
Risk of damage to fiber optic cable!
CAUTION!
Fiber optic cable must not be bent like conventional cable!
̈ When installing fiber optic cable, make sure not to bend it
beyond a bend radius of 50 mm.
̈ Before connecting the optical microphone, remove the protections caps
from the microphone connections 1 and 2 of the central unit. Keep the
protection caps in a safe place for reuse during transport or storage. They
protect the microphone connections against dirt.
OPTICAL MIC
INPUT
̈ Connect the duplex connector ¹ of the optical microphone to the micro-
phone connections 1 and 2 of the central unit. Please observe the
correct insertion direction of the connector. The duplex connector is
connected the correct way round when the label on the connector is facing
downwards as shown.

Switching the central unit on/off
After connection to the mains, the device switches on automatically and the
ON button ᕤ lights up.
̈ Press the ON button ᕤ to switch the MO 2000 CU central unit on or off.
Note:
If the power supply is interrupted for several seconds (e.g. due to a power
failure), the device switches on automatically even if it was switched off
before.
Adjusting the sensitivity
With the microphone connected and both the gain switch ꢃ and the level
control ᕢ set to 0 dB, the specified sensitivity (mV/Pa) is obtained.
